Samsung PN50A650

Samsung makes so many different varieties of flat-panel HDTVs, sometimes it's difficult to keep up. This particular plasma, the 50-inch PN50A650, was released in the spring of 2008 right around the same time as the slightly less expensive PN50A550, which we reviewed way back then. We really like both of...

LG 50PG20

The LG 50PG20 is the company's least expensive 50-inch plasma, competing against similar entry-level models from Samsung and Panasonic. It doesn't have the 1080p resolution of higher-priced plasmas, but we didn't really miss that extra detail. What we did miss with this LG, namely deep black levels and more accurate...

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...

Panasonic Viera TC-32LX85

Coming from a company known more for its plasma HDTVs, the Panasonic TC-32LX85 is a pleasant surprise in the 32-inch LCD category.
