Samsung LN-T5781F

Intro: The Samsung LN-T5781F is a 57-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is very expensive at around $6,830.This TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.

Noteworthy Features: Has a 57-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 set reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.

Weaker Features: 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 price seems hard to justify, with respect to its features.In terms of viewable size, liquid crystal display TVs having similar viewable size have an average cost of around $4,490.
