The Bottom Line 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. The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD HDTV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. CNET did not review the Sony KDL-40S3000, but we did review a larger model in the series. Although not quite as impressive as the best plasmas, the 46-inch Sony KDL-46XBR4 outperforms any flat-panel LCD we've tested so far. If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD HDTV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality.
