Samsung DLNA LCD HDTV
Jamie loves to travel with his wife and kids. He also enjoys using his digital camera and camcorder to record all the happy memories during his vacations. One thing that he doesn't like is when families and neighbors come visiting his home and he wanted to show all those videos he has to dig his DVD collection to find the video he want and play it on the TV. And for all those videos that he didn't burn on DVD he has to turn on his computer and then they all would have to watch it from the PC monitor. "Isn't there a way to choose and display all my videos and pictures on the TV with just a push of a button?" He asked.
One day while he was browsing the internet the discovered this term DLNA or Digital Living Network Alliance. It's an alliance of 250 famous electronics brand which supposed to enable the TV and all other digital gizmos in everyone's home to "talk" to each other. Skimming through all the technicalities one sentence caught his eye "With DLNA, you can just use your TV's remote to call up the video on your TV". He finally found what he was looking for. Just one problem though, his TV set is not DLNA compatible yet.
Next thing he did is scourging the net to find which tv would be the perfect choice to display his collection of vacation videos and pictures. After a couple of days researching he finally decided on Samsung LN52A750 52-Inch 1080p DLNA LCD HDTV. Actually, Jamie has some other models he like but they are smaller than this 52-incher. Thinking that bigger is better to show off his videos he finally decided on this model. Let's take a peek at the list he made about the pros and cons of this TV. He compiled this list after reading lots of user reviews around the internet.
Pros:
- It's a full 1080p HD, much more details than 720p HDTV.
- With 30,000:1 contrast ratio all blacks look exactly black instead of dark grey and whites and just plain whites without shades of other colors
- Fast 5 ms response time combined with 120 Hz refresh rates makes fast scenes look fluid.
- Pretty light for a TV this size (49.2 pounds).
- 4 HDMI inputs is more than enough to plug additional HDMI components.
- With TruSurround feature you can use a separate surround sound system to make improve the sound quality.
- Built-in USB 2.0 port where you can connect devices like digital camera directly to this HDTV to view the JPEG photos or MPEG movies. You can also plug your MP3 player and listhen to the music collection through this HDTV's audio system or your home theater speakers.
- Up-converted DVDs looks stunning. Blu-ray movies just look fabulous.
Cons:
- The remote is oddly shaped and the Ipod-like scroll takes a lot of time to get used to.
- Slow in picking up digital cable signal. It's also slow when switching between channels.
- The glossy screen still reflects some light though not by much.
