George, London , “Occasional TV watcher”

+ Amazing design, very slim and elegant. Picture quality is very good with HD sources, but also acceptable with SD ones. I have mounted this TV at a distance that is ideal for HD viewing (about 3 meters from the sofa), which is too close for SD and I was worried that SD quality would be bad from that close. But I was pleasantly surprised,even with fast moving images such as football and F1. Having said that, one should not expect an amazing quality with SD from that close.

- None really. If I think hard, I could say that viewing content from a PC through a network is not easy to figure out and set up (I still haven't managed to make it work) and the Picture In Picture option does not work as advertised. Samsung claims that you can view PIP with all sources, the reality is that the 2nd picture can only be normal aerial TV.

Product Features

Screen Size in Inches	50
Screen size is measured diagonally from corner to corner.
HDMI Interface	4
Like a scart interface but capable of carrying HD signals from or to other devices. You’ll need these to link your Playstation 3 or your Blu-ray player to your HD-ready TV.
Number of Scart Interfaces	1
Scart sockets are places where you can connect other devices to your TV. If you already have a DVD player, a VCR and a Playstation you might want to make sure your new TV has enough Scart interfaces so you don’t have to keep crawling round the back of the TV.
Contrast Ratio (X:1)	3000000
This figure is designed to tell you how much difference there is between dark and light colours on the TV. It is quoted as a ratio, between the brightest white and the darkest black. 500:1 means the brightest white is 500 times more bright than the darkest black. Plasma screens have historically boasted better contrast ratios than LCD screens.
Screen Format	16:9
This is a ratio of the horizontal to the vertical size of the screen. 16:9 is standard widescreen format for TVs, replacing the older 4:3 format.
PC Interface	Yes
If you’d like to use your TV as a PC monitor you’ll need to make sure it has a port to allow you to connect it. This is usually a VGA port, but some TVs include a newer DVI port. Adaptors are availible to allow VGA to DVI and vice versa.
USB Port	Yes
Socket for connecting devices such as a computers and other components
Electronic Program Guide (EPG)	Yes
TVs with this feature have an on-screen guide to all the programmes that are currently showing or coming up, so you can find your way around all the extra digital channels easily.
Picture in Picture (PIP)	1 Tuner PIP
TVs with this feature are able to display a preview of another channel while you are watching your current channel.
Weight (kg)	26.1

FreeSat Tuner	No
FreeSat is a free digital satellite TV service. The main benefit is that you can get HD programming from people like the BBC without having to pay for a subscription to a service like Sky. You’ll need a dish to recieve the signals though.
