| The Bottom Line | 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. | CNET did not review the Samsung LN40A550, but we did review a larger model in the series. | Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. | It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested. |
