| Review summary | CNET did not review the Samsung LN40A650, but we did review a larger model in the series. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD HDTV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality. | Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD to the front of small-screen class. | Best-in-class black levels and excellent all-around performance places the Pioneer PDP-5020FD near the top of the picture quality heap, but it will cost you. |
