Description:
The Samsung LN52A650 is a 52-inch, liquid crystal display television.

This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros:
Has a 52-inch screen size.
This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.
With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.
(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this unit reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability:
A liquid crystal display TV, suited for home entertainment as well as work place applications.
Also, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
Overall, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
However, liquid crystal display TVs with comparable viewable size have an average cost of around $3,595.
