Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The new 47” 47LED55SA LED HDTV is a flexible multi-use LED TV-great for gaming, HDTV viewing (with an HD cable or satellite box), surfing the internet and watching DVD’s (multiple HD inputs including HDMI). This amazing TV is perfect for any home.

Proscan takes new 120HZ Series LED HDTVs to the next level with 2010's LED55SA full 1080p lineup. The Proscan LED HDTV deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity while also helping you reduce your carbon footprint with the reduced power consumption of the LED screen. Using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as its primary light source--rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL)--this cutting edge HDTV also offers the benefits of an ultra-high contrast ratio and a slim depth that allows for a more artful design.

Proscan LED55SA Series LED HDTV line-up boasts high dynamic contrast ratios, complements of the ground breaking LED light source. It also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. 120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies. SRS TrueSound XT and Dolby Digital will make better sound.

It includes a PC Input for use as a PC monitor or gaming TV, and--unlike other smaller TVs--it also features a Gaming Mode to shorten the signal to screen time for faster game controller response. Other features include Proscan's Dynamic backlight Control for deeper black levels, a fast 5ms response time SuperAction LED panel, and four HDMI digital inputs for simple high quality connection to cable/satellite boxes, DVD players and more. And this HDTV, like all Proscan 2010 TV models, meets Energy Star 3.0 certifications for reducing energy consumption by up to 30 percent compared with standard TVs.

Key Features

• 1080p Full HD Display: With full HD, there is no need to scale down a 1080 signal. With twice the pixel resolution of 720p HD models, full HD creates the pinnacle in picture quality.
• HDR(High Dynamic Range) LED picture quality with true-to-life brightness ranging from the purest black to pristine white. 
• Energy Savings: Proscan's LED TVs use up to 30 percent less power than conventional LCD TVs.
• 1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
• Ultra-slim Design: 1.5-inch depth
• Auto Motion Plus 120Hz: Advanced processing that reduces blur and enhances image detail when viewing fast motion video sequences.
• SuperAction LED panel has an 5ms response speed necessary for cleaner high-action home theater images. A wide viewing angle ensures that you'll have the best seat in the house.
• Dynamic Backlight Control utilizes advanced image processing to monitor the brightness of each video frame, and adjust the backlight intensity accordingly. This precision creates seamless transitions with deep blacks for increased detail and depth analysis.
• Dot to Dot restores the size of the picture by the 3-5 percent that is generally lost during the normal over-scanning that occurs on traditional sets.
• Built-in ATSC/NTSC/QAM digital tuning allows for tuning of standard cable channels as well as off-air digital broadcasts, in addition to digital "cable-in-the-clear" broadcasts.
• Cinema Mode 24 fps (3:2 Pulldown): This HDTV performs 3:2 pulldown detection and reversal, too--a handy feature for watching progressive-scan movie programs in their native 24-frame format. To adapt 24 frames-per-second movies to 30 fps video, frames in the original movie must be duplicated; 3:2 pulldown digitally corrects this duplication by removing the redundant information to display a frame-accurate picture.
• Color Temperature Control: Most Proscan televisions provide three user-selectable Color Temperature settings that affect the sets overall white balance. The "Warm" setting reduces the color temperature to an NTSC standard 6500 degrees Kelvin and delivers a redder image that is ideal for display in a dimly lit room. "Standard" and "Cool" provide a progressively bluer image for the best picture as room light levels are increased.
• MFC: Proscan uses MFC’s unique motion compensative technology, which eliminates the tail and jitter of dynamic image effectively, and makes the image edge clearer. It reduces the dynamic screen blur which is difficult to be perceived by human eyes. Even playing rolling subtitles, the font edge is also clear.
• Screen Mode: Sets with Screen Mode modes are ideal for displaying HDTV signals as well as enhanced for widescreen television DVDs.
  • Normal : The original 4:3 aspect ratio (1.33:1 signal) is preserved, so black bars are added to the left and right of the image. Standard TV broadcasts are displayed with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
  • Wide : When watching a standard broadcast or full-frame movie in this mode, the display image is stretched proportionately to fill the TV screen. When watching a wide screen (1.78:1 signal) program or movie, the display image fills the TV.
  • Zoom : Stretched the 4:3 aspect ratio image horizontally and vertically to fill the screen at 1.78:1.
  • Cinema : Stretches the 4:3 aspect ratio image horizontally and vertically to fill the screen at 2.35:1.
  • Dot to Dot : Use the function to see the full image without any cutoff, when HDMI(720p/1080i/1080p), Component(1080i/1080p), DTV(1080i), VGA, AV(480i,576i), or S-Video(480i,576i) signals are input.
• DPMS: This is a good function for computer monitor, When DPMS is on, the computer will control the screen on or off. For example, if the computer is in sleep mode, the screen will be switched off. If the computer is activated, the screen also is activated.
• Channel Browser allows you to easily scan through the last 32 channels you have viewed, with screen images for the last five channels displayed, by channel, by favorites, and by input, at the touch of a button.
• Channel Labeling allows you to put station call letters on the screen along with the station numbers, so you always know what channel you're watching.
• USB Port for downloading upgrade software content from the Internet.
• Energy Star 3.0 compliant
• VESA Mounting Pattern: 200 x 200

5.0 out of 5 stars Low cost, great quality., June 2, 2010

This review is from: Proscan 42LED55SA 42-Inch LED Backlight 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

My brother just bought one of these, we hooked it up to my Blu-Ray player, it looks fantastic. Deep blacks and bright whites, with quick 120 Hz refresh. I am mostly writing this to counteract the other review left on this product that is not actually related to this producty, but rather one consumer's beef with Proscan. (look at the comments on Bob's Review) I called Proscan's customer support to ask about their warranty (wanted to ensure that it started the day my Bro bought it, not the manufacture date). Anyway, I think i might get one also, great value.

This review is from: Proscan 42LED55SA 42-Inch LED Backlight 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

Purchased this unit in spite of Bob Gilbert's asinine "review"

Pros:

- VERY slim
- Unbelievably light for a 47" TV
- Easy to wall-mount
- Fantastic picture quality
- 120Hz refresh makes shows and movies come alive, it really does feel like you're watching it in the studio live
- 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio (i know, they kind of make up their own ways to measure that, but this TV has unparalleled color vibrance and good deep smooth blacks)
- Aesthetically pleasing
- Speakers are well above-par if you turn on the virtual surround in the menus. Still not comparable to a real surround sound system, but they are some of the best integrated speakers I have ever heard
- PRICE, oh god the price, it's incredible, I feel like I'm getting away with something naughty at this price

Cons:
- There is a bit of a delay from input device to screen output (about 1/2 of a second), so games kind of suck on this. I was really unable to play my xbox on this due to the lag
HOWEVER, this does not detract from the overall quality of the unit, for TV and movies, this thing is beyond incredible
- It would be nice if the capacitive buttons on it had a dim glow or something, I have to put my face about 3" away from them to see which is which and where to press
- It would also be nice if the buttons had some kind of tactile bump or something so you know when your finger is on it.. if it's dark in the room, it's impossible to use the buttons without a flashlight. Usually I use the remote though, so it's really not a deal breaker or anything

Other notes:
- I would recommend finding HDMI cables with very flat/slim connectors, as there is not much clearance back there where you plug them in. My "normal" HDMI cables had to have their connector kind of wiggled in there for them to plug in all the way, as the connector will press up against the back of the TV. Not really a CON, just something to be aware of
- If you wall mount this, you will either need longer VESA screws, or a mounting bracket that has recessed screw holes, as the mounting holes on the back of this are recessed, and the included screws will not be long enough for most standard VESA mounting kits with flat brackets.

Overall:
TV and Movies: Buy this NOW
Video games: Would not recommend for gaming, too much processing lag between signal and output

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont buy this tv (no matter how many positive reviews you read on walmart), June 28, 2010

This review is from: Proscan 47LED55SA 47-Inch LED Backlight 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV, Black (Electronics)

I also bought this tv in spite of that stupid review because I read a lot of favorable reviews on [...].

First, the picture quality is amazing, its really clear and very bright.

The only cons are the buttons on the side of the tv dont always work, and 2. whoever made the comment about gaming was spot on. When i hooked up my xbox there was about a 289 millisecond lag. Not a ton, but definitely ENOUGH to make a difference and make me need to hook it up to my other tv.


Correction:

It is now a month later and I would absolutely, positively not recommend this tv. The screen lags, it doesnt provide audio when you switch the channel, you cant play video games on it and the buttons on the side of the tv dont even work. Huge buyers remorse now. I either got a defective tv or this thing is just a piece of garbage. Hopefully Amazon lets me return it.

The only good thing about this tv is that it is really bright and the picture can be really clear. But it doesnt matter because there is something wrong with its ability to process the video coming though and it speeds up and slows down and makes whatever you are trying to watch like crap. Even my girlfriend noticed it. She keeps asking me whats wrong with me new tv. great...
