When I bought the Samsung 52-inch LCD HDTV, I was very excited as well as apprehensive. I had heard a lot about it but wanted to confirm whether all of it was true.
But after a month I can say that I am very happy with its performance. It is a very high-quality LCD TV. It has a very nice picture quality and perfect resolution to suit your eyes.
Its dynamic contrast ratio is 70,000:1 which makes the user enjoy the sharpest details and vibrant colors.
This also results in more realistic images. It has a 6 millisecond response time, making the viewing a smooth experience.
This also eliminates any blurring of the images if you are watching action-filled and sports programs. This LCD TV is compatible with any of the electronics you have because of its excellent networking and connectivity. It has one USB port and four HDMI 1.3 ports with Consumer Electric Control.
What impressed me most is the HDTV’s design. Samsung has provided the special Touch of Color design which offers a hint of red translucent color at the edges.
This provides the TV with a very fashionable and cool look. In addition, the TV is Energy Star compliant which gives it an edge over others as it helps the consumer save on the electricity bill.
It has an in-built digital tuner and therefore no external box is required. It also has two 10-watt audio speakers.
Its SRS TruSurround HD helps create a feature-rich surround sound experience from two speakers complete with rich bass, clear dialog, and high frequency detail.
AnyNet + allows the TV remote to be operated at one touch of a button. The Game mode of the TV enhances the dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing and improves the sound quality of the games.
