Samsung LN52B550 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review
The Samsung LN52B550 is a full HD model, or 1080p, meaning you get 50% more scanning lines for your money. More scanning lines = more pixels = more detail = a greater picture quality.
The Samsung LN52B550 LCD TV gives a resolution twice as impressive as a conventional HDTV, creating a vastly superior image.
Purchasing this model means you would be investing in a LCD HDTV giving the utmost in picture quality as a result of high quality picture resolution. Sharp detail and super-vivid colour are possible due to a 70,000:1 contrast ratio, giving a far more realistic image. A 6ms response time means there is no discernible blurring of the image.
So, what does all this mean?
Well, if you want a super steady, realistic image with no fade or blending out as a result of image movement, you are going to need the Samsung LN52B550 LCD TV. Watching sports or a favourite movie becomes an entirely new experience, regardless of how fast-paced the action is.
Darker patches in a dark picture become .... darker. However, it is now possible to pick up details within the darkness, something that has never been possible in a standard image TV.
Connectivity is not going to be a problem, either. 4 HDMI ports and networking with your PC via a USB port brings several other dimensions to the party. Plug in your Blu-ray DVD player and games console to expand on the impressive credentials of the Samsung LN52B550 LCD TV.
One of the main effects that sets this model apart from others is its cutting edge design: “Touch of Red”. A red, translucent border around the edge of the set gives a stunning, extremely fashionable effect.
The Samsung LN52B550 LCD TV is Energy Star compliant, which saves money on your electric bill. This is so because it manages light dependent contrast, whether as a result of the image or ambient light in the room in which it is being viewed.
