Review by Mantaray for Samsung UN55C5000 55-Inch 1080p 60 Hz LED HDTV (Black)

I was searching for a 1080p HDTV to fully appreciate my blu-ray player. My 4-year old 40-inch LCD (Samsung) is 1080i and it now looks dated thanks to newer technology. My new TV must be 1080p, aesthetically gorgeous, preferably LED and preferably 50-inch+ under $2,000. This Samsung UN55C5000 certainly fits the bill. Refresh rate was almost irrelevant since differences in picture quality between 60hz (series 5) and 120hz (series 6) were not convincing enough for me to burn extra dollars. I am not sure how 240hz would compare.
I have had this UN55C5000 for three weeks now. I connected it to a home theater system and Xbox as well as to my media center PC as a secondary monitor. The picture quality is, perhaps as expected, absolutely mesmerizing. It is just so good that my guests often mistake desktop background pictures for real printed drawings. Definitely the best in its class, in my opinion. After playing with the picture settings for a while, I realized the factory default setting was just good enough.
Aesthetically speaking, I couldn’t be happier. The design is very slim, clean and simplistic yet elegant. After all, even when turned off, it looks like a piece of art hanging on the wall. Whoever visits my house, the first thing they do is praising the TV. For some people, it takes a few long seconds to realize it is in fact a TV. It is so thin and light, screaming to be attached to the wall. All the hookups are carefully laid out for a clean look.
LED TVs are known to consume less energy. I can tell that my new Samsung produces noticeably less heat than the LCD. I have no comments on sound. I turn off the TV speakers and use my home theater.
The only downside I can think of is its remote controller. It has glowing big buttons (they have backlight) on a strikingly boring shaped body. I think it is designed exclusively for older people with big hands. It looks odd next to the TV aesthetically.
I definitely recommend this Samsung to those looking for a 50+ inch TV. I would say not to settle with something for less.
