Performance

Samsung HP-S5053

Deep blacks; excellent connectivity, including two component-video and two HDMI inputs; distinctive glossy finish and hidden speakers.

Prevalent artifacts and video noise, especially in dark scenes; subpar standard-def processing; no independent input memories.

While the Samsung HP-S5053's picture doesn't rank among the best of the 50-inch plasmas we've reviewed, its sweet style and scads of inputs help it compete.

Samsung HP-S5053

Samsung's HP-S5053 plasma HDTV looks striking, and not just because of its massive 50-inch panel. The shiny black cabinet and stand, complete with brushed-metal accent and a blue-lit power button, make quite a living-room focal point. Its image quality...

Nice picture quality Good sound features

Uncomfortable remote

The Samsung HP-S5053 plasma HDTV delivers pleasing image quality on TV content--especially on DVDs. Its sound options are appealing, too. Its price of $4000 (as of 4/17/2006) is neither the highest nor the lowest you'll see for a 50-inch plasma. That...

Nice picture quality, Decent sound quality, Excellent set of inputs, Very stylish look

Some artifacts and noise on some picture tests, Inputs are located on the back panel (not facing downward), so TV cannot be mounted flush on the wall

Test Bench: Samsung HP-S5053 50-inch Plasma HDTV

Test patterns in 720p format showed excellent picture resolution for all the Samsung's high-def inputs, although a slight degree of edge enhancement could also be seen with an HDMI connection. The component-video input, on the other hand, looked...

Samsung HP-S5053 50": Home Entertainment

There is nothing more enjoyable than watching the big game or playing your Xbox on a 50? plasma screen. Trust me; it's a worthwhile experience for anyone who has not experienced a high definition TV before. And of course, watching DVD movies on a high...

I think this is an excellent plasma from Samsung for HD content.
