Manufacturer's Description
Ultra FilterBright

In bright environments the display quality of conventional plasma TVs can be compromised by external light. Samsung's premium plasma TVs boast a combination of FilterBright, Super Black Panel and Optimal Light Filter to bring you sharp contrast, unbelievable detail and pure clarity in any lighting conditions.

Samsung's advanced technology offers you truly natural onscreen colour representation. By keeping the colours balanced, even during fast moving or action scenes, your viewing enjoyment is never compromised. With Natural True Colour you can always enjoy vivid, realistic colours as nature intended.

A combination of enhanced features means that you will never have to compromise on Real Detail again. Silhouette Editor refines the face tone and shape of an image. Smart Frame Plus eliminates flickering and Movie Mode provides smoother motion during the fast moving scenes.

Real Motion Studio combines three patented features including Movie Mode and Silhouette Editor so that you can make the most out of your TV. This advanced technology means that you can enjoy fast moving, action scenes without the worry of motion blur, juddering or image distortion. Why compromise when you don't have to?

Movie Mode eliminates the unwanted effect of motion judder by intelligently estimating the position of a moving object and creating additional frames based on that estimate. These frames are then interpolated in order to create smooth motion during fast moving or action scenes.

Silhouette Editor ensures that the tone and shape of an image remain sharp. During fast moving scenes, noises or contour lines can become distorted due to the delayed time reaction between the bright and dark areas. Silhouette Editor estimates the movement, detects the contour and adjusts the tone accordingly.

Customer Reviews

Philips 50PFP5532D loads better.
Samsung PS50Q97HDX - 50'' Widescreen HD. Bought this display and was very disappointed. Even to the point of thinking it was faulty, however, Samsung repair man came out and assessed it saying it was all ok. So, picture quality, unless you are playing HD source is rubbish, with artefacts and blocking making ordinary DVD unwatchable. Even HD source is not brilliant as it only has 720p max signal. Compared to the Philips 50PFP5532D which is about the same price there is a huge difference. The Philips has progressive scan, more natural colour, and 1080i signal giving a great picture resolution. I sent my Samsung back and got the Philips, which is 100 percent better picture, very little distortion, and as I watch a lot of old B&W movies it is a breeze with the progressive scan. I am not bothered about the sound as use separate amp and speaker surround. I think the Samsung looks a better telly but its the picture quality that counts!

Lovely Looking TV!
This is a really beautiful set and matches the glossy look of the Playstation 3, picture and sound quality is excellent (although you do have to mess about with the settings abit - turn the sharpness setting down a bit as it can make standard def pics look more grainy). If you feed this set a hi-def source it starts to look even better! The remote is really nice, you can program it to control other things and the prog and vol buttons light up! The stand also swivels round a bit so that you can change the angle of the screen. It does, however, have a tendency to attract dust around the frame/stand but it is very easy to clean with the supplied cloth. I did have problems with the first set that came (the stand was warped and it had a tendency to switch itself on, and then off again a few mins later) but this was quickly sorted out with an exchange and it wasn't enough to put me off giving this set 5 stars. Also it is very good value, as last year I spent £500 more on a 42" Samsung set (with a discount code!).

very good value for the money
purchased this item from amazon it arrived on time in good condition,its better than i thought it would be the picture is great it looks really smart had reservation about the sound quality but its fine,if this is the kind of tv your looking for go for it.
