Description: For their top-of-the-line "96-Series" HDTVs, Samsung really focuses on the "three Cs" of picture quality: clarity, color and contrast. The 52" LN-S5296D has full 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution — that's nearly twice as many as the 1366 x 768 pixels found on the typical 50" plasma. 1080p is a pixel-perfect match for most HDTV broadcasts, as well as the high-definition disc formats: HD DVD and Blu-ray.Thanks to advances in LCD panel and backlight design, you'll see picture contrast, black level and color accuracy that are now much closer to what good plasma TVs deliver. The 6000:1 dynamic contrast ratio spec is one of the highest we've seen. And Samsung's "wide color gamut" backlight helps the LN-S5296D reproduce 92% of the broadcast TV color range (compared to only about 72% for conventional LCDs and 76% for tube TVs).The "Digital Cable Ready" LN-S4696D can receive over-the-air and cable HDTV programs without the need for a separate tuner box (to make full use of the built-in cable tuner, ask your service provider about a CableCARD). There are plenty of inputs for your other video gear, including digital HDMI and IEEE 1394, which provide flawless picture quality and offer the ease of single-cable hookup.This is a dual-mode display, so your computer can join the party, too. And the gamer in your household will love the enhanced Game Mode. Samsung consulted with Microsoft engineers to develop a set of picture and sound enhancements that optimize the response and realism of gaming. Minimize
