The good: Highly accurate primary colors and color temperature; above-average video processing with effective noise reduction; oodles of picture controls and settings; friendly, intuitive menu design; handsome look.

The bad: Subpar antireflective screen; black levels not quite as deep as those of the best plasmas; confusing picture mode arrangement.

The bottom line: Accurate color helps set apart the excellent picture quality of the Samsung PN50A550 50-inch plasma TV.

Specs: Product type: Plasma TV; Diagonal size: 50 in; Dynamic Contrast Ratio: 1000000:1 See full specs >>

Price range: $1,369.95 - $2,198.99
