You're thinking of buying a Samsung 50-inch 1080p DLP HDTV?

This is a popular DLP HDTV, and is a bestseller in many different stores. It 'been around for just over half a year, and the customer base and the feedback is large enough that we now have a good idea of its advantages and disadvantages. I consolidated a series of reviews around the net. The general view is that the HD model is good and cheap, but not perfect.

Here is a usefulRule of thumb: if you want to buy an HDTV, knowing that the distance to look in the feet and multiply by 5. This is the screen size you need. For example, if you look at the distance of 10 feet, 10 times 5 is 50. Then, choose a 50-inch TV.

Good points

Even when Samsung 50-inch 1080p DLP HDTV first came into market, it was one of the cheapest 50-inch HDTV. Now that the model is a year and a half, is even cheaper if you buy onlineretailers like Amazon. It is very likely to see a savings of about $ 500 list price. You can also save on some fees and charges. Also, if you find that the price has dropped between the time you bought your TV and when you receive, you can ask the dealer to refund the difference. Reputable companies like Amazon actually honor such requests.

Although the electronics tend to become obsolete rapidly, the peak of HDTV was when it was released. Italready had a 1080p resolution – many broadcasters have yet to reach this new standard. Even now, the technology is very advanced and will probably remain so for years to come.

Samsung 50-inch 1080p DLP HDTV uses a technology called LED light engine. What this means to you is that the images are clear and detailed, and colors more natural and true. Movement and action is much better yield than the standard LCD technology, and you will not seedecrease or loss of detail. This HDTV is also in bright rooms, with a penetration step forward.

Built-in 2-speaker surround sound is good. Do you think that the surround mode is activated. HD broadcasts received through a simple, inexpensive, Indoor Antenna look great. Other content (normal DVD, SD / HD broadcasts, Nintendo Wii, DVD, Xbox 360, etc.) also look great.

You probably already know its dimensions: 45.2 "(W) x 31.8 (H) x 13.4" (D) 61.3 Lbs.This 50-inch DLP HDTV is thinner than most of its competitors, and is light enough for 2 people to move.

There are ample inputs for connecting HDMI, S-Video, Component, RGB, digital, analog and optical audio and RCA plugs, and are on the right side of the range for easy access – making it easy to plug. Unfortunately, this can be a problem if you put the TV in a closet.

Samsung 50-inch DLP HDTV is prettyuser-friendly. The manual is good and large (though not written for beginners). The remote is intuitive and the menu system is simple. Note that you can have as many features as more expensive systems.

Its pretty quiet, because it uses LED light source instead of the normal bulb lighter and the color wheel from most other DLP. As the LED engine is cooler and more energy efficient than the bulb and color wheel, 50-inch Samsung DLP HDTV also does not require apowerful cooling fan. Overall, you get a good energy saving – is Energy Star. Another positive point is that the LED bulb lasts longer than the normal DLP (which must be changed every 2 or 3 years).

Some of you might be nervous to get defective products by purchasing from online retailers. The large and reputable companies like Amazon usually have a period of 30 days warranty. When a problem crops up, have a good reputation for honoring their commitment to replace or refund theTV. If you are unsure of your online retailer, you can check their reputation with the Better Business Bureau.

Problems encountered by customers

The purchase of the DLP is not perfect, though. Customers have reported 3 main types of problems.

Delivery 1) Service & Problems:

a) Some clients complain of not receiving their television sets. This is most likely to occur with retailers on-line with their supply chains more complex and the procedures for issuing –if their orders were not received by the supplier of TV online retailer, or a delivery agent has not received the service delivery, etc. There are precautions to minimize problems (see below).

b) A driver sometimes gets lazy or incompetent. May not be able to find a place to live. It may or may not deliver to your home. Or it may just save your TV off at your door and refuse to proceedThis is for you. On the other hand, there are also stories of messengers that go beyond the sense of duty – to help you move your old TV set to his new position, then bring your new Samsung 50-inch 1080p DLP HDTV and install it for you. Then take the same path from the crate for you. Sometimes they are free, you may need to pay them a bit 'of extra money.

c) There are also some complaints about customer service from Samsung. And 'typicalservice, big business – if you get a good representative of the client, you get a good service. It helps if you have their names in advance before you start talking about your problems or questions. If you receive a shock, poor service. Do not Get Mad, take their name, and raise their head. If this does not get a refund or replacement of your dealer.

2) Problems of quality control on some TVs individuals:

halo) The dreaded "blue" effect,which is essentially a blue-ish area of light that becomes visible in dark areas of high contrast scene, around the bottom center of the screen. This seems to be caused by a ring around the projector lens must be black, but the money is reflected in some TVs.

b) There is an on-site "hot" or light, in the center of the screen and the center is a bit 'brighter than the edges.

c) When the entire screen is in color, sometimes all over the fade on TVbrightness.

d) The image is distorted (left, bottom right), there is a significant green tint that is not corrected by a user settings.

e) Picture goes out for a few minutes or several hours at a time – this could be a problem on the motherboard.

f) the spots on the screen – which can be an engine problem irreparable LED.

If the problem crops as well as within the online retailer warranty (usually 1 month), then call the customer service and Samsung willsend a technician in about 2 days to solve the problem. Otherwise, make good use of the warranty period the dealer for replacement. Reputable online retailers like Amazon are very good at honoring their warranties without harass their customers.

3) problems with the model or DLP HDTV, which affect all TVs:

a) the SD images via digital cable (connected via HDMI) are sometimes a bit 'pixels.

b) minor curvature of the horizontal linestop right of the series (which is an artifact common with this type of series) – generally are not visible.

c) minor incompatibility with the settings of 480p and DirecTV (DirecTV call customer service for satellite techniques for determining this issue)

d) Echo, if you have any TV speaker and two surround speakers and high volume. Just cut the TV, or use 5.1 or 7.1.

e) when not viewing HD programming in 4:3 mode there is aset of duplicate rows on the edge of the image. This might be too distracting for some people.

f) While reading a mailbox or the DVD 16:9 widescreen or zoom settings are a little 'further. The center of the image at the top is almost 3 / 4 inches below the ends creating a slight "U" or concave appearance. This can be very annoying for some people.

g) Mild geometry problems (noticeable bowing towards the top center of the screen)

h) the non-stretch modewith SD (if you have a black bar down each side of the table), the sides of the image are curved in a little '.

i) the viewing angle is limited, which sucks if you have a large number of people gathered around her. Make sure you're in the middle and can see the screen. The viewing angle is good to about 140 degrees, but it is better at 90 degrees. Yet this should be the normal level of performance for the DLP. Basically, the best place is the couch in front of theTV, even if every person in the seat of love is like a good canvas.

Precautions

1) If you buy from an online retailer like Amazon, make sure the TV is sold directly by Amazon. Amazon sometimes acts as a showcase for other companies. This means that you are a customer of another company and not Amazon. How can you say? Look for this sentence on page 1 after Amazon lists the "price" of television – "Availability: In stock. Ships from and soldfrom Amazon.com. "Other online vendors must have something similar.

2) to print the receipt. Although this is common sense, sometimes we forget. Or something else happens, for example, the printer is broken. In this case, simply take a screenshot and save the image of Microsoft Word.

3) Remember: You are likely to purchase online to enjoy lower costs and free shipping. Do not expect 5 star service. Take the initiative to find the contact of the actual supplierand the agent for delivery, so you can keep track of your order and delivery. Customer service call, on-line retailer, if you have any doubts.

4) If you think there is a problem with the Samsung 50-inch 1080p DLP HDTV, enjoy the 30-day warranty for replacement or refund. Does not suffer during the first 3 months of complaining. At this point it is too late.
