Samsung LN46C530

 

The Samsung LN46C530 is a TV of modest ambitions, and we reward its humbleness. There's no streaming content or 3D or any of that. It just displays a picture.. and it does the job pretty well. Editorial Note:This is a review of the Samsung LN46C530....

The Samsung LN46C530 ($949 MSRP) can surely be found more cheaply at this point in its life cycle, and if you’re looking for a basic HDTV that delivers the goods, it gets our seal of approval. The contrast ratio is simply amazing, but only fools will...

Samsung LN32C530 Review – 32-inch LCD HDTV

 

Along with models having sophisticated features like 3D, Internet access and 240 Hz refresh rate, which were the highlighted technologies at the CES this year, Samsung also has a few basic LCD models in its lineup. This 32-inch model belongs to the...

Samsung has tried to give good audio effects with 2 bottom speakers in the TV. SRS TruSurround HD helps you hear the dialogues well if you are seated right in front of the TV. If you keep this set in a small room with a quiet setting, then you will be...

Samsung LN37C530 Review – 37-inch LCD HDTV

 

With all the hype over technologies like 3D and Internet access, sometimes everyone tends to forget the first and most important aim of an HDTV. Every model should have the capacity to woo the average TV viewer and facilitate watching the regular TV...

Energy conservation is good just like in most of the HDTVs today. No one is going to purchase a set which is not energy conscious. And along with this, you have the option to stream all the content from the digital camera and watch the photos on the TV...

Samsung LN40C530 Review – 40-inch LCD HDTV

 

Most people want a good looking LCD TV for a decent price with a good picture. This 40-inch model from Samsung is just the kind of TV for all these people. The size is good enough for the living room and it can also fit into the bedroom or office. It...

The number of HDMI inputs has been decreased to 3 in this set. Some people may find this frustrating but you can still hook up your Blu-ray disc player, gaming console and camcorder to get the best of movies, games and videos on the TV. There is a USB...

Samsung LN46C530 Review – 46-inch LCD HDTV

 

The emphasis of these low-end sets from Samsung is more on the price than on anything else. Anyone who opts for this LCD set is aware of the fact that there will be very few features in the TV compared to what is available. It is more a question of...

The TV has a refresh rate of 60Hz which is not at all helpful for watching the high action scenes. However, the normal TV programs can be viewed with full clarity. Only the scenes which fleet by with great swiftness like racing cars and swishing swords...

Excellent tv for the price

 

I paid $899 plus tax and all those bonus future shop charges. And recomend this tv if you can get it for less. Great tv if you can get it for under $600.

I have had this tv for 2 years now with no real problems other than one minor issue. A great plus is that it syns up nicely with the samsung blu ray player

The minor problem i have is a very faint buzzing noise that i hear once in a while, something vibrates inside. odd. And im not able to get cbc channel 5 wich i could get with my old dtv box

An Excellent TV for an Excellent Price!

 

Visually, this TV is excellent. The colors are vibrant and on-target (no purple cast like I've seen on some lower-end LCD TVs) and there's no ghosting. Like with any high-resolution TV without an expensive upscaler built in, regular definition sources...

Excellent picture with extremely rich colors ; Viewing angles seem pretty good ; TV already is very bright ; Audio is pretty good for built-in speakers ; Having a very high contrast ratio helps a great deal of bit with color reproduction as well

No built-in upscaler ; No S-Video input ; I feel menu system has always been a little clunky
