The Bottom Line CNET did not review the Samsung LN46A650, but we did review a larger model in the series. 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. While not up to the picture quality of Samsung's topflight models, the feature-rich, uniquely styled LNB650 series still outperforms most LCDs on the market. The Samsung LNB750 series can't beat the picture quality of the best plasmas and LED-based LCDs, but for a conventional LCD, it's one of the best we've tested. Samsung's PNB650 series can't quite match the best plasmas on the market, but it comes close enough to offer a viable alternative.
