Band Rising

Wondering what to get to replace your aging TV? Samsung has always been a good brand to think of. They make many models of TV and the Samsung Ln52b750 would make a nice addition to your living room. This one is little more modern than your old tube television as it is an LCD TV. LCD stands for liquid crystal display; these produce better visual clarity then tube TV’S.

Samsung is Located in South Korea and is based there as well. Samsung is one of the world’s best electronics companies and markets their products all over the globe. As we get closer to the switch to all digital airwave broadcasts we are coming to the realization that our beloved CRT based televisions are becoming obsolete. Unless you have a converter box of some kind that giant behemoth in your living room is soon to become useless.

If you’re a little confused here’s a breakdown. CRT stands for Catheon Ray Tube; this is what older TV’s use. HDTV stands for High Definition Television and is the standard for most new TV’s. Compared to CRT, HDTV’s are capable of very crisp, clear, and sharp images. Most programs and games when viewed on an HDTV will have a noticeable improvement in overall picture quality.

Many people are buying HDTV’s for another reason altogether, they are smaller. Many LCD TV’s are only about one fourth as deep as an equivalent tube TV. AS you can see this is quite a perk since this opens up many new positions for TV placement. Now keep in mind the width and height are unaffected, a 52 inch TV is still going to be 52 inches.

Now let’s take a look at this model’s specification. The Samsung Ln52b750 is a 52 inch LCD TV. It has both analog and digital tuners so you can receive both digital and analog broadcasts. Its 49. 6 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 33. 8 inches high. This unit also supports picture in a picture.

These dimensions are taken with the stand. It weighs 67. 5 pounds. The maximum resolution is 1920 X 1080. The display format is 1080p with a pixel response time of 2 ms. The sound system is a built in stereo system with two ten watt speakers. It is energy star compliant. Total power consumption is around 190 watts.

As far as inputs go this unit supports all major forms of cables and plugs. There really isn’t very much you cannot hook up to it. The price of the unit is around 2500. 00. This can vary however from location to location. The stand is included with this TV. Other TV brands sometimes require you to buy the stand separately

When picking out an HDTV remember the room it’s going in. The Samsung Ln52b750 is good choice for a large room, or a living room. Newer TV’s look more like computer monitors now than televisions; oddly enough you can use most HDTV’s as a computer monitor. Also keep in mind that since they are so much thinner there’s no room to sit anything on top of them.
