The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Sony KDL-26S3000, but we did review a larger model in the series. Sony's entry-level LCD, the KDL-46S3000 offers fine picture quality for most viewers, but bargain shoppers and home theater sticklers alike may want something different. CNET did not review the Sony KDL-26M4000, but we did review a larger model in the series. It costs a mint, but Samsung's local dimming, LED-based UNB8500 series delivers the best picture quality of any LCD we've tested.
