Samsung LN52B530
$1,799.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:60Hz image processing provides excellent, artifact-free picture - works especially well on live sports and action content with minimal differences to 120Hz processing. Excellent 1080p HD picture quality - color contrast is considerably clear, with bold black levels and vivid, distinguished hues.
The Cons:Unit does not provide a dedicate optical input - may cause difficulties amongst users without HDMI-compatible devices. Gloss black bezel is seemingly prone to glare issues - users with rooms that encounter a lot of natural light may wish to seek a less-reflective unit. Built-in speakers are of fairly poor quality - audio outputting severely lacks low-end presence and has a relatively low maximum volume level.

Many users report broken capacitor issues just as the unit is coming out of warranty - this may result in a fully-dysfunctional product after no more than 2 years of use
