'more realistic picture quality'
'The picture might be wonky or the sound might be a little off, and of course there’s those horrible controls, but today, I’ve got a rare treat–a Samsung unaffected by negative commentary.'
'the two Samsung flat-panel plasma HDTVs are identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 50-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 58-incher will perform.'
'It also has Extreme Contour Compensation, which minimizes color contour noise for natural color transitions'
'The remote included with the 50PC5D is a bit underwhelming'
'The XD Engine takes the low resolution of analog signals to near-HD levels by improving brightness, contrast, detail, and enhancing color as well as reducing signal noise.'
'Convenience features on the 50PX5D are extensive, including custom channel and input labeling, picture-in-picture and split-screen viewing, image sticking (burn-in) prevention, and a Gemstar on-screen program guide.'
