Samsung's DNIe™
Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. |
 | Motion Optimizer
Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring. |
 | Contrast Enhancer
Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites. |
 | Color Optimizer
Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue. |
 | Detail Enhancer
DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition. | Samsung's new floating screen plasma TV creates an image that looks as if it is suspended in thin air. The new, premium "bezel-less" design means there's no frame around the TV for a big, beautiful picture without boundaries. Bottom-mounted speakers and a sleek silver/black color scheme are perfect for elegant, modern decors. The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. Because everyone sees colors differently, Samsung's DNIe My Color Control allows you to adjust the individual colors of your set without distorting other colors. The range of color adjustment includes Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red and White. This ensures true to life colors such as green grass, blue sky and realistic skin tones. White Tone Enhancement also ensures the purest, brightest whites possible. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. The HP-R5052 also offers a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution, 1300 cd/m2 (candela per square meter) brightness rating, and amazing 10,000:1 contrast ratio. (The higher the contrast ratio, the greater a TV's ability to display subtle color details and not get washed out by ambient room light.) Picture-in-picture (PiP) with side-by-side split screen enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources. Other adjustable video features include color tone, picture mode, aspect ratio, and sound mode. Other features include a fanless cooling design for low noise operation, VESA wall mount compatibility, and discrete IR codes for use with a macro/programmable remote for creating your own functions. Control all your Samsung A/V components through a single TV remote with Samsung's Anynet system, a network control solution for operating a wide variety of Samsung devices. The 30-watt stereo audio system (two 15-watt speakers) delivers ample sound for sports and movies.

 Spectacular Television! February 2, 2008
Jazz Dork (Kansas)
I've owned a Samsung 5052 for a year now, and I couldn't be happier. I did a ton of side-by-side comparisons (Panasonic, Sony, LG, etc) before deciding that none of them had a better picture or features. I made my choice without price consideration, and as a result, I paid far less for the Samsung than I would have for many other units on the market.
The picture is amazing; no flaws, no problems. As I said, I did side-by-side comparisons, and this unit blew all the others away. The sound is excellent as well. We run movies through our surround-sound system, but regular TV viewing is more than great through the internal sound. I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase. Samsung has established themselves as a leader in the industry, and to be honest, I wouldn't have thought that a few years ago. But they do build an outstanding product, and I do not hesitate to recommend this television.

This is a great product, only two situations. There is not enough content to watch to get the full flavor of HDTV, but I'm sure that will come in time. Amazon came through with the shipping when one shipper did not want to deliver to my residence, they found another shipper.
 Good value for money January 9, 2007

I have a 61" Samsung DLP and now this 50" plasma. Immediate pluses, especially when compared to the DLP: better contrast, sharper picture. Why am not giving it 5 stars? Contrast could've been a little better, especially in daytime lit up family room. I hear LCDs do better in that regard. Only other minor grip: it has only one HDMI input. That is minor, though, since it does have two additional component inputs. Despite the hype (HDCP etc.), I don't see any difference at all between HDMI and component. But of course, HDMI is lot more convenient, especially when having to snake wires through the wall for a wall-mount. Overall, would I recommend this TV: yes.
In Use For Over A Year And ....... October 4, 2006

After much research I ended up buying this Samsung as an open box at BestBuy. Samsung is not my favorite brand. I am hoping that the Samsung of today may be lots better than the Samsung of old. I based my decision on which plasma to buy on how much bang for the buck I could get (picture quality, size, looks, price, etc). I also picked up a three year warantee, just in case. This was my first HD so I wasn't sure what to expect. After using this set for a year the following are my findings: Most people who have purchased their first plasma TVs (from what I have read) are saying that you shouldn't expect your normal analog channels to be anywhere near HD looking when you go to digital, because they won't be. These channels may be better than your old set but I have noticed many of mine were worse probably because the bigger screen shows all the imperfections that you don't see on your smaller 32 inch standard set. I would say that only 20% of the digital channels were better, about 40% were the same and 40% appeared worse. As time goes on there will be lots more digital and HD channels. Now the good news! The HD channels on this set are SPECTACULAR. I don't mean good... I mean simply Spectacular. I haven't seen better anywhere. The black border on this set is really nice too and makes for a nice frame for the picture. It appears to me that the picture has gotten better as time goes on and I think I read that this happens. "Burn in" is no longer a huge issue with plasmas if you use some common sense and make sure you don't leave a static image on the screen for hours and hours. You may have to play around with the settings to get the picture that suits you but that is very easy to do. I can't think of anything that I don't like about this set. I realize that you can get good and bad in any model so you are always taking your chances, but I would certainly recommend this plasma TV at this super price... but for some piece of mind get an extended warantee if possible.
