LCD TV Samsung PS50Q96HD 50 inches / 127 cm

This PS50Q96HD incorporates several new technological advances including Ultra FilterBright for enhanced contrast, the function Silhouette Editor for clearer contours and the Smart Frame Plus operating in 75Hz. The Movie Plus is still in the party, this will give us an opportunity to see if this function supposed to improve border is more effective than that available in LCD TVs of the mark. Connection demonstrates that the product is the latest generation: triple HDMI version 1.2, an entry YUV accompanied by a VGA. Finally, a TNT is integrated in the plasma can be rotated on plus or minus 20 degrees.

With sources such as TNT or DVD, the result is stunning for a large slab. Without showing effects of stairs (aliasing), 127cm doing very well if you meet the recommended distances. This good result certainly reflects the fact that this is a simple slab HD, which requires a minimum treatment prompted a Full HD. Speaking of HD sources like HD DVD or Blu-Ray will be configured in 1080i car with a maximum of 1080p is the black screen ... Nothing happens. Also note that gradients are of excellent standard.

Some defects are still darken the picture: in the dark areas, we see sometimes appear horizontals. In dollies, jerks are still there. Finally, on the whole, the picture has a tendency to flicker significantly, or even to blink.

It's inherent fault of the plasma technology and technology Frame Smart Plus 75Hz unfortunately does not alter anything. This plasma is not recommended for use with PC, despite the conservation of zoom Scan Only very useful to have an image to be complete, because it leads to very quickly eye. In addition, it is the victim of an effect postérisation, found on all plasma screens: in solid colors and gradients, points appear systematically.

This screen has an almost perfect colorimetry native. Only the color temperature is too extensive, she pulls on the blue in most shades. The gray is a little green, but they remain well lit. Hence, one can see the details without affecting the brightness. On the whole it was pretty good with a lot of nuances in colors (the Gamut has been extended). The contrast is an excellent level as black.

LCD TV SAMSUNG LE32S86BD - 32 inches / 81 cm

With its 32-inch HD Ready its definition (1366 x 768 pixels), and his two adopted HDMI, the LE32S86BD represents the screen of mid-range par excellence.

Indifferent, we are not left in the first ignition. We would have simply been horrified if other Samsung televisions we were not passed into the hands recently. It's definitely a habit of the mark: the default settings did not flatter the product.

Some rules must be respected to find an image worthy of the name. First, disable, or at least mitigate, image filters (DNIe, Noise Reduction ,...). It should also flee the Dynamic mode, which is slamming the contrasts in the extremities remove all the nuances of degraded. We shall therefore Cinema mode, and we solve the color temperature on Chaud2, while lowering the backlight to 4. It would be better not too fall below this value, lest it get a picture fade and without relief.

Thus resolved, and after adjusting the brightness and contrast, we get blacks to an intensity of 0.19 cd / m, for whites to 257 cd / m; is a very good contrast ratio of 1352:1. The color temperature reached then and 7315 ° K is only 13% of 6500 ° K targeted. Rendering takes very little on the blue. In fact, it colorimetry to us the worst problems, with differences exceeding 6 overall and reaching a low average of 27. Even the menus image adjustment did not allow us to catch this defect. Yet they are numerous (gain setting, cut, color temperature, black level, gamma ...).

LCD TV SAMSUNG LE32R86BD 32 inches / 81 cm

Samsung proposes is a mid-range TV extremely interesting, as proposed at the same price as the series Economically, the S86. What differentiates yet: going on R86BD to 3 HDMI inputs (very good!), We gain a better contrast and a few functions. The hull of the TV is so in vogue at the moment: brilliant on the edges, but with a slab of matte in the middle. Everything is proposed to less than 700 euros, it makes you want to crack. We can actually, you will not find a bad deal, but to really take advantage of this screen, it's best to follow this advice: turn off all its advanced features. We tested one by one: neither produces a good result. Worse, they systematically degraded images (see box).

Travel via the OSD (the Set menu of TV) is all it takes more useful (essential in our view) change the color settings. It's simple, fast and highly desirable. Basic, LE32R86BD seems settle for shops to slam into the eye of passing. But when it comes to loyalty ... Switch Mode simply Movies with a color temperature on Warm 2 will retrieve colors balanced, fairly neutral, with a mean difference between the ideal colors and displayed measured at 4.5, while it was starting from 7.2. Incidentally, it rectifies the dark, completely faded background (from 0.51 to 0.28 cd / m). However, even after adjusting not only what is not yet perfect (some LG and Sony televisions are much better), but it is far more contrast promised by the manufacturer. While it is common to see differences, we still raging read a contrast ratio of 8000:1 announced in the features, and find a real contrast of 640:1 at the end. To which we take on?

It ends with the recommended uses for this product. It's simple: HD movies, with an appropriate perspective of at least two metres fifty. Otherwise the tingling you can disrupt. Other uses have rather disappointed. Of the SD sources, such as DVD, there is a scaling up imperfectly reflected in the effects of stairs at the edges of objects. The Full HD 1080p is not supported. With regard to the persistence on the console, it is bearable but already crossed more responsive on many occasions. It is even less encouraging in PC mode: the image is a bit blurred. Do not this screen to mixed use, TV and office.

Despite this final a little hard, LE32R86BD remains a proper screen, and even a good deal for those who want a 32-inch at a small price. We appreciated his 3 HDMI inputs, the colors correct settings and after, though, his beautiful images HD. For the DS, a little back (3 meters or more) and it will go very well.
