A Look at the New Samsung LE37B550

Here we take a look at the new Samsung LE37B550 LCD Television. Read on to find out about the features, quality and suitability for different needs.
There are a lot of different types of televisions available from Samsung, and they are split into several different series to make choosing the right one for your home a little easier. The Series 3 televisions offer a high level of affordability, but still carry the benefits and performance of an LCD TV. The Series 8 is virtually unmatched in terms of performance and overall quality, and represents the cutting edge of LCD TV technology. The Series 5 is somewhere in the middle, with an excellent picture and lots of features but with a relatively low overall cost when compared to top-tier systems. The Samsung LE37B550 is an excellent example of this, with a good range of features and good overall quality.

The Samsung LE37B550 has a thirty-seven inch screen, making it suitable for fairly large living rooms and other central entertainment areas, and yet is affordable enough for most medium income families. It is less than 80 millimeters thick, making it representative of the sleek design and light overall weight of LCD TVs. It operates in 1920 x 1080p resolution, which offers progressive scanning which is a more effective type of scanning than the 1080i's interlaced scanning. It operates with High Contrast, making the whites brighter and the blacks darker, and features Anynet+ capabilities which allow the user to operate various aspects of the system independently of each other.

It also features a game mode, making the Samsung LE37B550 ideal for both console and PC gaming. Since it can be hooked up to be used as a PC monitor, and game mode increases the refresh rate to ease the effects of motion blur and image tearing sometimes present in lower quality LCD TVs, you will be sure to maximize your gaming experience. It has a Wide Color Enhancer 2 as well, making the colors more vivid and the overall image brighter. It is even equipped with an SRS Trusurround HD and Dolby Digital Plus sound system with down firing speakers, a USB 2.0 port for easy connections, and Teletext.

The Samsung LE37B550 sports a sleek design that shows Samsung's attention to detail across the board, with a rotating base for easy back access and a rose black color that is certainly eye catching. Perhaps the thing about this television that garners the most attention, however, is its great level of performance and high level of quality for a surprisingly low overall price.
