CNET editors' take

Although CNET did not review the 55-inch Samsung LN-55A950, we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN-46A950. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung front-panel LCDs are basically identical but for screen size, so we expect the review of the 46-incher to give a good indication of how the 55-inch model will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN46A950.
