If you're looking for a TV with style as one of your primary concerns, your short-list will have to include at least one offering from Samsung. And what better than the brand's new flagship LCD TV, the 52-inch LE-52M87BD?
Happily, Samsung's trademark gloss black finish and taste for subtle curves extends to 52-inch extremely well. In fact, the bigger this design gets, the more we like it.
But the LE-52M87BD isn't trading on looks alone. It's choc-a-bloc with connections, including three HDMIs, a PC VGA port, Scarts, a component video input, and a digital audio output for shunting on digital soundtracks received by the HDMIs.
Then there's its extensive feature count. As well as a digital tuner it carries a 1920 x 1080 'full HD' screen, backed up by 1080p compatibility, and a 1:1 pixel mode that shows 1080-line sources with no overscanning, for extra clarity.
...
The best summary of the LE52M87BD's performance is 'mostly spectacular but occasionally flawed'. With its sumptuous looks and its extra cost over similar-sized plasma screens being mostly justified by its resolution and features, it's a TV that has to find a way onto your shortlist.
