Although CNET did not review the 52-inch Samsung LN52A550 we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A550. Judging from their specification sheets the two Samsung flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 46-inch model to give a good indication of how the 52-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN46A550.
