Review Summary |
This 50-inch plasma offers classy styling and an impressive feature set, although its picture falls a bit short of reference quality. |
The Sony Bravia KDL-46Z5500 may lack a Web content streaming element, but it's a solid all-rounder in just about every aspect, from design to performance. |

The stunning Samsung UA46B7000WM is a cutting-edge connected TV with a solid visual performance to boot. |
