The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Samsung LN46A580, 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. CNET did not review the Samsung LN46A630, but we did review a larger model in a different series with similar specs.
