Samsung’s 52-inch range has it all!
No matter what the final use is, a 52-inch LCD TV is by no means small.
For many rooms, it’s a dominant centerpiece. A home theater setup can be built around a screen of that size. And even if it doesn’t end up playing high-definition movies every night, it’s still a pretty awesome sight.
Samsung has two options for consumers looking to find a home for a big, flat-screen, high-definition television. At the top, the Series 7 model tops out at $2,799.99. The lesser option is the $1,899.99 Series 5 model.
If you’re looking for a deal, head to Amazon.com or other similar online retailers. Often, the same television can be found for hundreds less. In some cases, a soon-to-be discontinued model can lose nearly a third of its original price.
For those looking to outfit their space with the best Samsung has to offer, the Series 7 model- the LN52B750 – is the way to go. It features a big, bright 1080p resolution screen and a fast refresh rate.
Running at 240Hz, the panel refreshes the on-screen image 240 times per second. That means images are blur-free no matter the pace of the action on the screen. With a screen that large, any faults in the picture will be easily spotted.
Additionally, the B750 features internet connectivity. Content, including movies and television shows, can be directly streamed from the internet. In fall 2009, Netflix streaming will be enabled.
Other internet-based content includes the InfoLink system, which delivers customizable news, weather and sports scores to your screen via built-in widgets.
A system called DLNA brings even more functionality. The wireless content-sharing standard allows photos, video and music to be pulled from networked computers and viewed on the television.
Along with the wide array of input/output ports, there’s no shortage of content options for Series 7 televisions.
But if you’re not looking to drop nearly $3,000 on a television, the Series 5 model may be able to fill your needs. Though it retails for nearly $1,000 less, it’s by no means cheap. Gigantic televisions rarely are.
In place of the 240Hz-refreshing screen is a 60Hz version. Because the screen is so large, some blurring may be visible during fast action. Still it’s a 1080p screen, and for most applications it should do just fine.
The Series 5 model is also without the internet options, but with a wide host of inputs — including a PC-compatible port — you should never be wanting for content.
