| The Bottom Line | Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma HDTV. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | 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. | The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD HDTV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. | Although its black levels aren't the deepest, accurate color and a red frame still distinguish the Samsung PN50A650 from the pack. | Basic specs |
