CNET Editors' Take

CNET did not review the Samsung LN52A850, but we did review a smaller model in a different series with similar specs.

Review:

Although CNET did not review the 52-inch Samsung LN52A850, we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN46A750. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung flat-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size and the fact that the A850 has a thinner panel (about 1.9 inches deep, versus 3.9 for the A750), so we expect the review of the 46-incher to give a good indication of how the 52-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN46A750.

"Absolutely the very best HDTV. Better than the Bravia" By rammohan.2

Pros Out of the box, it worked perfect. The controls and the remote were very intuitive and without even touching the manuals the TV was up and running. With surround sound, the experience is phenomenal.

Cons Nothing at all. Everybody made it sound like the "Red Bezel" was something one needs to get used to. The whole TV is elegant, and classy, and adds a touch of class to the room with some nice furniture.

Summary The HDTV experience with this TV is the absolute best. BlueRay DVD is a must. Don't look any further, buy this TV with confidence. I have had it now for only 3 days. If it remains trouble free, this will be the very best TV that I have ever ... Expand full review
