- LG 50PG20
- The LG 50PG20 is the company's least expensive 50-inch plasma, competing against similar entry-level models from Samsung and Panasonic.

- Samsung LN46A550
- The midrange of a product line is sometimes where bargains meet high-performance, and that describes the LNA550 series of LCDs from Samsung quite well. The company's entry-level 1080p resolution models, represented in this review by the LN46A550, lack the fancy "touch of color" styling, Internet-connectivity, and 120Hz processing of their...
