Is the Samsung flat panel monitor for you?

(Reviewed 1115/06)The Samsung flat panel monitor delivers a crisp HDTV picture with vivid, natural color. This 50 inch HDTV has a cool, sleek look and a nice price to match. In all, this little beauty is easy on the eyes and easy on the wallet, giving you lots of features for you money. The Samsung HP-S5053 50-inch plasma HDTV is a big screen flat panel TV that delivers all this at a price that won’t break the bank.

The HP-S5053 plasma HDTV looks great and it includes a remote that is ultra slim. Both the TV and the remote are sleek like a sports car. The remote is easy to use (and figure out) and you can control just about everything from there. There are several picture size options and they are also controlled through the remote.

This TV is easy to use and practically sets itself up. It has a channel scan feature that will pick up and program the digital broadcasts in your area. You can easily set up video noise reduction and image enhancement options.

This Samsung flat panel monitor ‘s picture quality is very crisp and the colors are vivid and clean. All in all, the image quality is excellent. You can see fine detail whether you are viewing DVD, TV, cable, satellite or any other application. The picture is always sharp, but like many plasmas the Samsung flat panel monitor does falter a bit when dealing with dark and shadows. Shadowed areas may have impaired visual details because the set is not able to distinguish and separate the various shades of black and gray.

Conclusion: There are better plasmas (Panasonics and Pioneers) out there that deliver deeper blacks. Deeper blacks improve the contrast ratio and help flat panel monitors deliver their WOW factor. That being s aid the Samsung flat panel monitor can certainly stand on its own. With great looks, fantastic picture, easy operation and set up and, of course, a very attractive price tag, this Samsung flat panel monitor definitely has it all going on when it comes to big screen entertainment.
