The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Samsung LN32A550, but we did review a larger model in the series. The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's topflight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market. Although not as feature-heavy as some models in its class, Samsung's LNB360 series takes the picture quality cake among entry-level LCDs. Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD TV to the front of small-screen class.
