The Bottom Line 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. The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available. CNET did not review the Samsung LN46A650, but we did review a larger model in the series. Samsung's LED-backlit LN46A950 represents the peak of flat-panel LCD TV performance and picture quality, with a price to match.
