The Bottom Line 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. Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative. Sony's high-end KDL-XBR9 series of LCD TV offers a bundle of extras and solid picture quality, but the price will turn off most buyers. 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.
