The Bottom Line	Although it looks downright dreamy on the outside, the Samsung LN-S4051D's image quality has a hard time keeping up with the best flat panels.	One of the best overall LCDs we've tested, the Samsung LN-S4096D delivers very good picture quality along with plenty of features and style.	The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance.	It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.	The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value.
