The new shiny, flat Samsung LN-5296D LCD TV is breathtakingly beautiful. It is one of the large flat panel, HDTV enabled LCD TVs from Samsung. It looks slim with a dimension of 50.4" x 32.4" x 4.4" and weighs about 94 lbs. The uniqueness of this model is the up gradation of its dynamic contrast ratio to 6000:1. Most importantly, this TV is truly compatible with full HDTV resolution of 1080p and enriches your HDTV viewing experience. Features: The backlight source, reproduction of colours and the enhancement of viewing angles make this TV truly outstanding. Its inbuilt 10-bit video processor can form 12.8 billion colours on the screen. This TV uses Wide Color Gamut CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) backlight which provides a wide range of colours with great accuracy. The Super Patterned Vertical Alignment technology (SPVA) used in this TV, improves the viewing angles (up to 178 degrees) so you can view the TV at any angle from off-axis.
