The Bottom Line 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 commendable picture quality of Sony's entry-level 120Hz-equipped LCD makes it a very good value. The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested. With excellent picture quality marred by only a couple of flaws, the Panasonic TC-PG10 series sits near the head of the class of 2009.
