The winner
Samsung LE52F96BD
First Reviewed: HCC #150
Ordinary LCD TVs use a cold cathode flurescent backlight for illumination, which can limit black levels and contrast. This Samsung takes a more innovative approach, swapping the CCFL for a bank of LEDs. The result is superb picture contrast, better blacks and improved colour fidelity. Throw in a gorgeous chassis, full 1080p24 HD resolution, 1:1 pixel mapping and three HDMI v1.3 inputs and you can see why this £2,300 Samsung redefines the potential of LCD for largescreen viewing.
