CNET editors' take

Reviewed by:
CNET staff
Reviewed on: 08/27/2008

Although CNET did not review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A850, we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A750. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for the fact that the A850 has a thinner panel (about 1.9 inches deep, versus 3.9 for the A750), so we expect the review of the 46-incher to give a good indication of how the LN46A850 will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN46A750.

Summary: The Samsung LN46A850 offers a superthin cabinet design and useful extras at a competitive price, but it doesn't quite rise to the standard set by many of its Samsung siblings.
