4. Samsung LN-T4681F
Editors' rating: 8.3
The good: Reference-quality black-level performance; superb color accuracy; solid screen uniformity for an LCD; extensive range of picture controls; comprehensive connectivity with three HDMI and one PC input; ultrasleek glossy black design.
The bad: Extremely expensive; poor off-angle viewing characteristics; shiny screen causes distracting reflections in normal room lighting; minor blooming visible in dark areas.
The bottom line: A breakthrough in LCD picture quality with some issues, the LED-powered Samsung LN-T4681F will nonetheless impress the staunchest videophiles.
