Yay! It’s Samsung TV!
Samsung TV is one of the most recognized names in TV today. Part of this is through extensive marketing as well as a research and development plan that has left some of their competitors scrambling to catch up. Overall customer satisfaction with the Samsung brand has propelled them into the market as a quality manufacturer of televisions.
When considering buying a Samsung TV there are so many options to pick from that we have decided that a nice little Samsung walk-through might be in order. Hopefully this will better inform you, the reader, as to what Samsung has to offer you as a viewer. So sit back, grab a beverage and let’s get to it.
Samsung TVs in the plasma department offer a wide variety of options as far as price and quality goes. The “low-end” TVs are the series 4 TVs. These are all under $1,000 and feature 42″-50″ screens and 720p definition pictures. Technically this is the second generation of HDTV picture, but first in the hearts of many. In other words for the price, the picture is outstanding.
The top of the Samsung plasma line would be the series 8. These monsters start with a 50″ screen and keep growing until they reach a whopping 58″. They are all 1080p, which is the clearest picture currently available and come with an astounding 30,000,000:1 Mega Contrast. Basically this is just another way of saying that the picture looks really, REALLY good.
The series 7 LED HDTV that Samsung TV produces is an exceptional TV with all the bells and whistles one has come to expect with Samsung. 1080p picture, screen sizes ranging from 46-55″, internet connectivity and their own proprietary software for picture quality have made this a most popular series that is sure to not be outpaced substantially for some time.
Samsung TV makes a series 8 as well. The series 8 is the next half generation of LED HDTVs really. These is some more software built in but with a 1080p picture quality and 50,000,000: 1 contrast ratio, there’s really not a whole lot more Samsung can do right now. Or so one would think. For the money the series 8 is a great deal, however, I’m a little sceptical as to whether there’s a significant improvement that justifies a slightly higher price; about $1,000.
Samsung’s LCD HDTV series 3 is the low, low end of their quality TVs. This isn’t to say they are poorly made, quite the contrary, but we are talking about LCD. Traditionally, LCD TVs require ambient light to product a quality picture and have troubles producing absolute black. Samsung has done an incredible job with LCD technology, but a V-8 in a Gremlin is still a Gremlin. The series 3 offers low cost plasmas in the 19- 42″ range. They are not bad at all, just not LEDs. The series 7 from LCD TVs are markedly better though. The screen sizes range from 37″ to a whopping 65″. The prices are all over the board too ranging from $1,200 to $6,000, but what do you want to pay for 65″? The contrast on this series is OK for HDTV but great for LCD. Again, while I’m just not a fan of any LCD TV. The advantages of LCD are pretty straight forward though; they are light and skinny and less expensive than their cousins.
When shopping for a new TV make sure that you know the difference between LCD with LED back lighting and straight on LED. The quality difference is astounding, as is the price difference. Whatever your budget or entertainment needs, Samsung most likely has you covered.
