Good:  Full high definition display; Excellent picture quality; Excellent video processing; Plentiful range of inputs; Direct high definition picture mapping
Bad:  No rear-mounted S-Video input; Black levels not up to plasma levels
Bottomline:  Incidentally, if you compare the star ratings for this TV to the 52 inch Samsung LA52F81BD we reviewed earlier this year, you will see that the older TV scored 5, but this one only gets 4.5. Has Samsungs performance gone backwards? Not at all. Its ju...

Good:  Good black levels and natural colors; clean and sharp pictures; sleek and unique Crystal Design styling; four 1080p24-ready HDMIs; USB port for JPEG/MP3 playback; lit and versatile remote controller; abundant tweaking options.
Bad:  Stain magnet and stretch prone; mediocre stereo imaging; sound distortion when bass is driven hard; unnatural 100Hz for some film-based materials; pricey.
Bottomline:  The latest Samsung LA46A50A1RXXS is another fine all-rounder much like the legacy Bordeaux Plus-series. However, it also has some noticeable misses on top of a high sticker price.
