Samsung LN-T5271F

$4,400.00 Released August, 2007

The Pros:Can render fast-moving video without any problem, great for sports. Good range of connections, enough for most households not to need a separate receiver. Colors look great out of the box, no need to adjust them.

The Cons:With 120Hz mode on watching anything other than sports it renders video in a strange, uncomfortable way. Not capable of realistic color rendering, thngs tend to be overly vivid. Darker scenes are hard to see, everything blends together into one big shadow.

The Samsung LN-T5271F is a 52" LCD based television with a native resolution of 1080p. This set is part of the 71F series of televisions, part of Samsung's 2007 lineup which include the 61F series, 65F series, 69F series, and 81F series.

Samsung LN-T5271F 52" LCD TV - 16:9 by PriceGrabber.com

The 71Fs are positioned near the high end falling between the 81F and 69F series in price and features. Just like all of Samsung's 2007 line of televisions this set uses the CCFL (Cold Cathod Flourescent Light) technology that the manufacturer claims produces a more accurate color output. With the 71F series, Samsung adds a glass cover over the front of the unit for increased color depth and a higher contrast ratio. The other notable upgrade is the inclusion of the 120Hz for fast motion video, sports and games.

While the glossy screen has the effect of increasing perceived color depth and contrast ratio, there are problems with reflections. If you're viewing the screen head-on the issue is minimized, however in a well lit room and viewing the tv from the sides can have glare show up in the picture.
