| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Samsung LN46A530, but we did review a model in a different series with similar specs. | 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. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. | The Vizio SV470XVT represents a viable alternative for LCD TV bargain hunters who want 120Hz processing. |
