    Key Features of the Samsung LN-S5296D 52" LCD TV Monitor

    Samsung LCD Display Technology

    1080p HDTV Resolution
    The Samsung LN-S5296D LCD TV has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080 and displays program images in 1080p. The HDMI inputs will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals, the component video input will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. All input signals are upconverted to be displayed as 1920 x 1080.

    Samsung Digital Natural Image Engine (DNIe)
    Samsung's exclusive Digital Natural Image engine dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reducing noise.

    10-bit Video Processing
    Samsung's 10-bit processing method produces 12.8 billion lifelike colors to ensure a more natural and vivid picture and aids in video signal processing of analog sources.

    High Contrast Ratio
    The dynamic contrast ratio of this TV is 6000:1, which gives you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and detail from both PC and TV images.

    Convenience Features

    Picture-In-Picture (PIP)
    The Picture-In-Picture feature allows you to watch two video sources (TV, VCR, DVD) simultaneously. The TV has only one tuner, so you cannot watch two TV channels at the same time. There are three PIP views: Double (side-by-side split screens and each screen has a 4:3 aspect ratio), Double Wide (side-by-side split screens and each screen has a 16:9 aspect ratio), or standard picture-in-picture (a small window inside the full screen). In the standard picture-in-picture mode, the inset PIP window can be moved to any of the screen's four corners.

    Built-in HDTV (ATSC) Tuner with CableCARD
    The LN-S5296D has a built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) tuner, so you don't have to purchase a separate digital set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV signals. The CableCARD slot allows digital cable reception without a set-top box. CableCARDs will be available from your cable provider.

    PC Compatible
    This unit has a 15-pin D-Sub (RGB) input that allows you to use it as a high-resolution computer monitor. The TV can be set to automatically adjust to the video signals received, or you can use the setup menu to adjust the screen quality and position.

    Wiselink USB Port
    A side-panel USB port allows you to connect a USB mass storage device to view JPEG files and play MP3 audio files, including JPG slideshows with accompanying mp3 sound.

    Enhanced Game Mode
    The Samsung-exclusive Game mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response, and enhances the sounds of your games.

    Samsung D-Net
    The TV has two 4-pin IEEE1394 jacks for use with digital VCRs and set-top boxes for digital audio and video data. The D-Net jacks also support A/V device control and signal routing, digital video editing and home networking.
