Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Man O' Man what a TV5
Ok I was worried because there wasn't any other reviews on this TV. Still took a chance cause how can you beat a 50" HDTV 1080P for $899. no shipping no tax.
Pilot delivered it and even offered to set up for me, but I wasn't ready for the setup so I declined.
Hook-up was a breeze. I have Direct-TV HD and used the HDMI hook-ups and connected the fiber optic audio to my Pioneer 7.1 channel THX receiver. I hooked up my Sony 400 disc DVD player also with HDMI and fiber audio line.
I placed my leather recliner 10 feet back. Got the remote and turned those suckers on. First I watched HD news and could literally count every blemish on the news people faces. Couric needs to get a new makeup artist.
Then I switched to Discovery HD, I literally jumped when a tiger chased an Antelope through the grasslands, hell you could see the spurt of blood as he sank them fangs. I turned on the DVD player and watched Scrooge and it was fabulous.
The picture was outstanding,so to test it further I turned all the lights on and opened the sun room shades at noon. The picture didn't change at any angle. No more fighting over the middle seat in this house.
The best thing of all is how little electricity it uses. I tested the usage compared to my old Samsung and it used three quarters less electricity. I saved enough money on the price that I bought the extended warranty and a blue-ray DVD player. I won't ever leave the house again! (PS I know some of you think the extended warranty is a waste but for $84. and my previous experience with Samsung it's worth it).

Best Picture Ever5
My God what a great picture! In HDTV the picture was so clear and sharp, it was like being there. I sat there with my mouth wide open. The person that reviewed this TV and said the picture was fuzzy and the HDTV was awful must be on another planet. This is definitely the best TV I've ever had and for $899 it was a bargain. I remember when a plasma cost $9000. I bought a blu-ray player and a polk sound bar and now I'm in heaven when i watch TV.

Samsung HP-S5053 Review

Samsung HP-S5053 Review, Samsung HP-S5053 Spec & Features

Samsung HP-S5053 50-Inch Plasma HDTV

Samsung HPS4253 42" Plasma HDTV

Features

  • 50-inch plasma TV with integrated high-def ATSC tuner; measures 48.3 x 33.3 x 13.4 inches (WxHxD) with stand
  • Samsung Digital Natural Image engine improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction
  • 1366 x 768-pixel resoltuion, 1300 cd/m2 brightness, 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 175-degree viewing angle
  • Connections: 2 HDMI, 2 component, 2 composite, 2 S-Video, 1 digital coaxial, 1 digital optical
  • Two stereo speakers, 10 watts apiece (20 watts total); SRS TruSurround XT virtual surround sound
Offering an incredible feature set and exceptional quality for its price, Samsung's fifth-generation 50-inch HP-S5053 plasma TV uses the company's proprietary electronic chassis and the latest DNIe enhancement circuitry to deliver outstanding brightness, contrast, and image clarity. Use it for home theater and use it for your PC--it's perfect for both. In addition to a standard-broadcast NTSC tuner, it also features an integrated ATSC tuner that can capture over-the-air digital broadcasts from local network affiliates (the set will still require a set-top tuner for receiving non-terrestrial HD broadcasts from channels like HBO or Discovery).

The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Thanks to the new 13-bit processing capability of DNIe, the HP-S5053 can produce over 549 billion colors (compared to the one billion colors that TVs with 10-bit processing can produce.

This set features a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, 175-degree viewing angle, brightness rating of 1300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter), and an amazing 10000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

The anti-glare plasma panel offers several protective features to resist burn-in, including auto pixel shift, signal pattern processing, and white screen function. It's rated for a 60,000-hour panel life (6 hours of usage a day for 27 years). Other features include:

  • Picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources.
  • Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.
  • Auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.
  • Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.
  • Side A/V input

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the sides of the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total) and offers the following connection options:

  • Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)
  • Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 2 inputs
  • HDMI: 2 inputs
  • PC: 1 D-Sub15 input
  • RF: 2 inputs
  • Digital audio: 1 coaxial and 1 optical

Tech Talk
HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. HDMI supports standard, enhanced or high definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It supports all ATSC formats--standard (SDTV), enhanced (EDTV), and high (HDTV).

TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into ÒfocusÓ during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.

Very good plasma TV for the money5
After shopping for several months I finally took the plunge and purchased this TV from a national chain. I finally decided plasma over DLP because of the vertical fading effect I saw with all the DLP sets. I took two of my own DVDs in to the store with me and made the staff there hook up a player so I could see both the fast action of The Matrix and the beautiful scenery of Spring, Summmer, Fall, Winter, Spring. The picture on the Samsung HP-S5053 was the second best of the many plasmas that I examined. The Pioneer had a better picture but was significantly more expensive. I do not use the built in speakers because I had an existing 5.1 speaker system. I really like the minimal black casing since the silver finishes are distracting-at least to my eye.
The menus are extremely intuitive. I didn't have to read the instructions at all to get anything working within an hour of unpacking my system. I purchased an upconverting DVD player and an HDMI cable at the same time I purchased this TV. My old DVDs look great on this TV. The 10-15 HD channels I get with Cox cable also look incredible. The one fault I've found is that if I use the HDMI cable from my cable box or DVD player and connect to the TV and then connect the digital audio out of the TV to my receiver I only receive stereo sound even when the original broadcast is 5.1. I get around this by using composite video cables from the cable box and DVD player to the HPS5053 and also run a digital audio line from each source to the receiver. The HPS5053 has plenty of inputs to support almost any type of user.

Great DLP5
After buying an Olevia 32" LCD TV, I purchased this Samsung HLP5663W for the study for cinema-style home theatre viewing. This unit does the job quite well. Both of the aforementioned are great products. Color, brightness, contrast are very good, although an LCD or plasma screen would deliver better brightness. Out of the box the Samsung performed admirably; I haven't even needed to fiddle with any of the color/tone settings. I'll need one of the DVD color-testing kits to do that, but so far my eyes tell me everything is fine. I got the extended warranty for a marginal cost just in case the color-wheel optics or lamp fails. This unit provides HDMI/DVI and 2 component ports for just about any HDTV/DVD connections. Maximum resolution is 1080i, not 1080p, which Samsung will deliver in new models coming out in June, but at $500-$1000 more. Can't wait to get the Cablevision digital box to receive HDTV through the DVI port. ExtremeTech rated this TV an 8! I matched this TV with an LG DVT418 600 watt tower DVD/home theatre system providing great surround sound. I also bought the matching TR63 stand from Amazon, which has the lowest price with $10 shipping, amazing.

Best DLP in market5
I think I have the earlier model of this one. But I think it's the best damn TV out there. It's light, picture is insane good, and the inputs are quite numerous. I think this one is the 2nd version of the DLP technology so it can only get better. Way cheaper than plasma and cheaper than LCD, with all the same, if not better picture.

Do not buy Samsung1
I purchased a Samsung television about eighteen months ago. Two weeks ago the picture became all distorted. Since my television warranty was through Circuit City I had no choice but to call a television repair person out to look at it. As soon as he walked in the door he knew what the issue was. He told me that the part would cost almost as much as the television and that his recommendation was to throw away the television and purchase another one. After doing some research I discovered that there were quite a few Samsung televisions that were going out and that the parts were on backorder for about a month. Samsung was also not helpful. I trying to discuss this with SamsungTweets on Twitter, but he blocked me when I asked why nobody called me like he said they would. The only other answer I got from Samsung was that I needed to take it to a service center; this is after I told them that a television repair person had looked at it. From what I can tell from looking on television repair forums, Samsung televisions look to be pretty flakey.

Awestruck5
My TV arrived today (opening day of the NFL season) and I am watching the Colts in HD as I type. This is my first experience with HDTV and to say the least I am stunned.

Since I am not experienced in the technology, I can't make an honest comparison with other TV's, but from looking at them in stores I can say that I am thrilled with my purchase and the picture is better than I had hoped. I just had DirecTV HD installed and dumped my cable company. I was nervous about this change but so far this has been a great move.

My wife is not a football fan but she has been captivated by the picture and made the comment that the color is just so startling.

I have read comments that the sound is less than great but it seems very acceptable to me. I have turned it up fairly loud and did not notice any distortion.

I made the decision to go with rear projection technology because I thought the picture was great and at least as good as LCD or Plasma. So far I have no reason to question that decision. Amazon offered a great deal on this TV and it was delivered a day earlier than the estimate. I am a very satisfied Samsung and Amazon customer today.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Man O' Man what a TV5
Ok I was worried because there wasn't any other reviews on this TV. Still took a chance cause how can you beat a 50" HDTV 1080P for $899. no shipping no tax.
Pilot delivered it and even offered to set up for me, but I wasn't ready for the setup so I declined.
Hook-up was a breeze. I have Direct-TV HD and used the HDMI hook-ups and connected the fiber optic audio to my Pioneer 7.1 channel THX receiver. I hooked up my Sony 400 disc DVD player also with HDMI and fiber audio line.
I placed my leather recliner 10 feet back. Got the remote and turned those suckers on. First I watched HD news and could literally count every blemish on the news people faces. Couric needs to get a new makeup artist.
Then I switched to Discovery HD, I literally jumped when a tiger chased an Antelope through the grasslands, hell you could see the spurt of blood as he sank them fangs. I turned on the DVD player and watched Scrooge and it was fabulous.
The picture was outstanding,so to test it further I turned all the lights on and opened the sun room shades at noon. The picture didn't change at any angle. No more fighting over the middle seat in this house.
The best thing of all is how little electricity it uses. I tested the usage compared to my old Samsung and it used three quarters less electricity. I saved enough money on the price that I bought the extended warranty and a blue-ray DVD player. I won't ever leave the house again! (PS I know some of you think the extended warranty is a waste but for $84. and my previous experience with Samsung it's worth it).

Excellent Television5
This HDTV is amazing. My games and movies look so crisp on it. It's a good television for your room, or even family room. It's not overwhelmingly big, so it's nice for your bedroom. It's got 2 component video hookups in the back. It also has about 3 composite hookups and a DVI hookup as well. Amazing television.

Nice TV at a good price5
I'm very happy with this TV. The picture is great, and the sound is good. The Amazon site said it had three HDMI ports at the time I ordered, but the TV in reality only has one HDMI (I sent Amazon a note to correct the product description.) I wasn't thrilled about not getting three HDMI ports, but I decided to keep the TV nonetheless since it has a great picture in the size I need and at a good price.

unbelievable5
Just received my Samsung LNB460 22inch LCD from Amazon
What a beauty,even with the set off.I've been
a Sony person for 20 years,but this baby is impressive.
The picture is fantastic and so is the sound,perfect for
a bedroom or den.I read the start up manuel 3 times to be sure
but to my delight the set does everything for you.All you do is
answer the promps by cliking Enter and you'r done.
I'm glad I picked SAMSUNG for a change.Yes,the hardest working
people on earth sure put out great stuff lately.

Great picture, abysmal sound3
With the recent transition to all digital broadcasts, we decided to upgrade our old 13" Toshiba instead of buying a converter box. We settled on this Samsung (LN22B460), a 22" model. The tuner on the TV scanned and found most of the digital signals in our area easily enough, even using basic rabbit ears as the antenna. The menus on the TV are clear and easy to navigate. The picture is great -- nice rich colors and good contrast -- the best I've seen in an LCD TV of this size.
However, the sound is almost totally unacceptable. It is incredibly nasal and sounds like everyone who speaks is trapped in a big can. This must owe principally to the fact that the speakers aren't front firing and cannot be too large given the slender cabinet. Adusting the EQ settings in the Audio menu seems to have little effect on the nasal, dry, recessed quality of the sound. My laptop computer sounds better. We'll be keeping the TV but adding some small speakers so it'll sound at least as good as the old $80 Toshiba 13".
Recommended but with reservations about the sound.

Fantastic Looking Television, Awesome Price to Performance5
This TV was made for me. As far as HDTVs go, this was extremely inexpensive, it's lightweight, and really thin. The picture looks incredible, but the view angle is not terribly good (it gets pretty dark if you're outside of probably 120 degrees or so. The HDMI inputs are great, and the TV's comb filter does such an incredible job with 1080i on my Xbox360, you can't even tell that the picture has been interlaced (though there is a lot of shaking when I hooked up my PC and ran it in 1080i). The VGA input does a great job, and doesn't over scan the way the DVI/HDMI port does. The speakers a great and LOUD, but make sure to get yourself a nice surround sound set, it's worth the money. Overall, you can buy a better TV, but I'll be confounded if you can find a better price/performance deal that this one.

Samsung HC-P4741W Review

Samsung HC-P4741W Review, Samsung HC-P4741W Spec

Samsung HC-P4741W 47-Inch HD-Ready Widescreen Projection TV

The Samsung HC-P4741W projection HDTV monitor is designed for those who are looking to transform a medium-sized room into a home theater. Its 47 inch widescreen viewing area is set in a smart-looking, compact table top design, making it the perfect choice for big screen for those replacing a 32 to 36 inch direct view TV. Whether it's DVDs, sports or movies, the HC-P4741W delivers outstanding widescreen performance.

Average customer review:


Whether your passion is for DVDs, sports, or movies, Samsung's 47-inch HC-P4741W delivers high performance and convenience. The HC-P4741W's housing is little bigger than the screen and barely more than 2 feet deep, making it easy to position and, at 110 pounds, relatively easy to move. And the screen's widescreen dimension is specially configured to accommodate the native aspect ratios of your favorite movies.

Three high-resolution, 7-inch liquid-cooled CRTs power Samsung's RealFlect video system, delivering highly focused illumination across the entire screen through incorporated features like HD Fine Focus lenses and a high-performance HD Fine Pitch lenticular screen with anti-glare protection. Samsung Auto Self Focus digital auto-convergence gives you convenient picture focus at the push of a button. The fine-pitch, .52 mm screen brings out subtle image details otherwise unnoticeable on standard .72 mm pitch screens. Auto pixel shifting reduces the risk of image burn-in.

An important feature is the set's 3:2 pulldown detection, which renders DVD movies in their native 24-frame format. Digital video mastering introduces a common distortion when adjusting 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this distortion, removing the redundant information to display a film-frame-accurate picture.

Picture-format size adjustments include settings for wide (7 modes: auto wide, wide, panorama, zoom 1, zoom 2, normal, cinema 1, cinema 2) and settings for 4:3 aspect ratio viewing (5 modes: normal, zoom 1, zoom 2, cinema 1, cinema 2). Choose the perfect aspect-ratio mode for your current program, whether it's sports, TV, or movies. The system will remember your last setting for each input.

A total of 7 video inputs handles more than most of the sets out there and includes 3 composite-video and 2 high-definition (standard-definition compatible) component-video inputs, 1 S-video input, and 1 standard RF input (for an antenna, a VCR, or a cable box). Side-panel inputs accommodate camcorders, gaming consoles, or other spontaneous hookups, while a set of stereo analog audio outputs foster hookup with a surround receiver or integrated amplifier for listening through an external system.

A 15-watts-per-channel stereo audio system features 2 single-driver speakers and benefits from a 5-band equalizer, which is designed to enhance the sound from movies and music programs alike. Sound Mode Preset gives you the best dynamic sound settings for whatever you're watching. Choose from standard, music, movie, speech, or custom. A BBE Sound circuit adjusts the phase relationships of the low, mid, and high frequencies while augmenting the higher and lower frequencies. The result is sonic brilliance and the clarity of live recorded audio programming, soundtracks, and music.

This set is equipped with discrete IR codes for use with an optional macro/programmable remote control (a universal remote is supplied).

What's in the Box
TV, a user's manual, a remote control, 2 AAA batteries, and a registration/warranty card.
