• Lower 720p 1366 (H) x 768 (V) pixels resolution vs 1080p
• Lower 5,000:1 contrast ratio vs 15,000:1
• Slower 8ms response time vs 5ms
• Narrower 160 x 150 (H/V) degree viewing angle compared to 179 degrees

Samsungs LCD HDTV Series 5 has four 550 models, the 37 inch LN37A550, 40 inch LN40A550, 46 inch LN46A550 and 52 inch LN52A550. All are full high definition, 1080p (1920(H) x 1080(V) pixels), with a built-in ATSC/Clear QAM digital tuner. The contrast ratiois an impressively high 25,000:1 benefiting picture quality with more detail in very dark or bright scenes. The Energy Star compliance offers considerable power savings and is worth considering in a purchasing decision.

The fast 5ms response time of these Samsung LCDs will be appreciated by those who wish to use them for gaming. It reduces the likelihood of any annoying motion blur which LCD panels are suspect to. Samsung’s Super Patterned Vertical Alignment (SPVA) panel provides an excellent 178 degree viewing angle.

All are full high definition, 1080p (1920(H) x 1080(V) pixels), with a built-in ATSC/Clear QAM digital tuner. The ultra clear panel used by Samsung enhances contrast which actually an exceptionally high 50,000:1 benefiting picture quality with more detail in very dark or bright scenes.

Samsung’s Series 6 LCD HDTVs (end with A650) have a distinctive red translucent tint to the glossy black frame which is most pronounced in the bezel. Samsung call it “Touch of Color”. The series 6 models need to be viewed in person to gain a reasonable appreciation of their color and styling. The red tint is a brave marketing feature but, the image quality alone should sell this HDTV as evidenced by its best seller status. For convenient viewing alignment adjustment the screen sits on a swivel pedestal stand.

Movies for the cinema shot on 35mm or 70mm film capture 24 individual images (frames) per second which are projected at 48 frames per second to reduce flicker. To achieve 48 frames per second each frame is projected twice.

Television broadcast systems are field based. For example, NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) Video is interlaced with each frame being constructed from two consecutive fields of video containing 50% of the 480 horizontal scan lines containing picture information. NTSC video displays at 29.97 frames or 59.94 fields per second.

The technology enables a greater brightness increase in mid-tone images in HD projection. A seven segment color wheel goes with the single DLP chip and as with any such projector design you should have a test viewing of the projector to see if you are susceptible to seeing any rainbow effects.
