| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Samsung LN52A550, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. | If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD TV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality. | With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. | Samsung's LED-backlit LN46A950 represents the peak of flat-panel LCD TV performance and picture quality, with a price to match. | Basic specs |
