To judge from the LND630 we checked out earlier and the LND550 reviewed here, Samsung’s low-end LCDs are pretty dang good.
These non-LED-based models managed deeper black levels than like-priced competitors, and largely avoid the uniformity problems associated with those razor-thin LED-based sets–while costing hundreds less. The LND550 falls short of the color accuracy of its step-up brother, and we still prefer the entry-level Sony BX420’s picture by a nose, but the LND550’s superior styling, media file support, and input bay make it a compelling alternative in the budget TV space.
