Although CNET did not review the 58-inch Samsung PN58A550, we did review the 50-inch Samsung PN50A550. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung plasma HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 50-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 58-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung PN50A550.
