The Bottom Line	CNET did not review the Samsung PN58A650, but we did review a smaller model in the series.	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 high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.	Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.	Although its black levels aren't the deepest, accurate color and a red frame still distinguish the Samsung PN50A650 from the pack.
