| The Bottom Line | The Toshiba 40E220U is a value-for-money television offering decent contrast and bright, vivid colors. | The bare-bones Toshiba L5200 series offers respectable value for the money with fine picture quality for an edge-lit LED TV. | The Samsung E550 series LCD is a decent performer with excellent shadow detail and good colors but image softness hampers a hearty recommendation. | Basic specs | |
