| The Bottom Line | CNET did not review the Samsung LN40A450, but we did review a smaller model in the series. | Solid picture quality propels the Samsung LN32A450 LCD TV to the front of small-screen class. | The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD TV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance. | CNET did not review the Samsung LN40A550, but we did review a larger model in the series. | Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level plasma TVs. | Basic specs |
