| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Samsung LN52A550, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. | The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested. | Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. | The commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. |
