Samsung's sleek 57-inch LCD leads the industry in realistic home entertainment. With its 4000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, over six million pixel resolution, Cold Cathode Flurorescent Lamp, S-PVA Panel and 10-bit processor with 12.8 billion colors, the LN-S5797D delivers a picture of startling clarity that rivals real life. While viewing either very bright or very dark scenes, it can be difficult to distinguish main images which blend into the background. Samsung's 4000:1 Dynamic Contrast dramatically mitigates this problem by adjusting the backlight intensity, providing up to a 4X improvement in contrast. Left side, right side or upside-down, whatever your LCD TV's location, Samsung's new innovative S-PVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) solution allows you to see any display clearly due to the 178° wide-viewing angle. Horizontally and vertically, your LCD TV will always be well placed to enjoy the entertainment no matter what your angle of view is.
