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.
