The HP-S5053 has a 50 inch screen and a 16:9 screen aspect ratio, and this might very well be the ideal screen size to maximize the impact of the kind of picture that Plasma TV can product when receiving a High Definition signal. The use of a Digital Comb Filter, and Samsung’s exclusive DNle technology and FilterBright Plus can transform that signal into one of the most brilliantly colored and lifelike pictures of any television. The signal can be received through a wide variety of input and output ports with the main option being the 2 HDMI interface ports that allow easy one cable connection to your entire system. There is also a PC input port to allow reception of HD signals from every possible source.
The unit is very slim with a depth of only 3.8 inches, and the TrueWide “invisible speaker” design gives it a very modern and functional look. The hidden speakers are part of the 5SR Surround Sound system. There is a stand that swells the depth to 13.4″ but that should still easily accommodate any floor plan. The unit can also handle regular analog signals, and also can improve the quality of even your older DVD’s.
The Power Save feature adjusts the brightness level to match changes in the ambient light, and this not only helps reduce glare in brightly lit rooms, but also can result in a substantial savings by reducing power consumption. Any savings is appreciated because this unit is not inexpensive by any means, but if you are looking for the right television to anchor a High Definition Home Theater system, this one is worth a second look.
