Review summary	The Pioneer PDP-5080HD produces the deepest shade of black--and thus one of the best pictures--we've ever tested.	The midlevel Samsung LN46A550 LCD HDTV strikes an excellent balance between price and performance.	With the accuracy of its THX mode and great black-level performance, the Panasonic TH-50PZ800U is one of the best-performing HDTVs available.	Panasonic's TH-42PX80U 42-inch plasma sets the picture quality-to-value standard for entry-level flat-panel HDTVs.	If you don't mind its red frame, the Samsung LN52A650 LCD HDTV will reward you with a massive feature set and excellent picture quality.
