The Bottom Line	While the Samsung HP-S5053's picture doesn't rank among the best of the 50-inch plasmas we've reviewed, its sweet style and scads of inputs help it compete.	If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality.	Although the Samsung HP-S4253's glossy black styling and numerous inputs work in its favor, its issues with picture quality lessen its value.	Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.	It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
