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. Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma TV. With picture quality that matches its less expensive brother but not the best of the stiff competition, the main appeal of the Samsung PNB850/860 series is based on its sleek, ultrathin panel. The high-end Panasonic TC-PV10 series of plasmas delivers the overall best picture quality of any flat-panel HDTV we've tested so far this year.
