Samsung LN46A850
$2,699.00
Released September, 2008
The Pros:1080p, 120Hz, fast response time and high contrast ratio. Attractive bezel. Slim cabinet (1.9" deep).
The Cons:Ethernet functionality is a gimmick. Not LED backlit (better contrast, power consumption, hours-on lifetime). Excellent picture, but sound, particularly voice and midrange, seems to be lost or fuzzy. Overall happy with it, but this audio aspect can be frustrating.
The Samung 8 Series is at the top of Samsung's LCD line that do not feature LED back-lighting. This set has a 1080p native resolution, Auto Motion Plus 120Hz all in a bezel that is 1.9 inches thick. For more information refer to the full Samsung 8 Series report.

#samsung_ln46a850 Beautiful set. I get compliments from everyone who sees it. The speakers are pretty weak but you should be watching with a surround sound unit anyways.
Highly recommended.
