Samsung LNT5265F 52-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 52-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung’s 2007 model LNT5265F is a good choice. Besides opffering full 1080p resolution the LNT5265F also features a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle tecture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

User Ratings and Reviews
1 Stars Customer Service is TERRIBLE!
I have now owned a Samsung 5265 LCD for 13 months. It has worked for 11 (actually this is the second TV after they replaced the first one with a refurb). The last repair was completed today after 33 days and 8 calls to Samsung. I now know that if you complain enough, you get to talk to the Executive Unit in NJ where Debbie, Jimmie, Shannon and Kathryn work. I have talked to each of them, but never could they tell me who in charge I could talk to) They have assured me that they have documented my complaints. Wink, Wink. This should have been an easy replacement of a power board, but the anti-customer friendly processes of Samsung led me to a month of sheer distraction. It was one bad experieince after another, hours of hanging on hold, being hung up on, being placated and being ignored. The repairman even contiunally bad mouthed Samsung saying most of the broken TVs he saw were theirs. Before he left he assured me he would be back to replace the power board again…but next time without a warranty. Its a real shame because the picture on the TV is great but it is not worth the hassle of dealing with the repair processes. I would warn everyone against Samsung.
5 Stars Great TV
This TV is wonderful. Great picture. The only thing I do not like is that you can’t PIP from one cable box. You have to feed it UHF as your second source to be able to watch 2 HD football games (assuming one of your games is being broadcast). And I have not figured out how to switch the audio back and forth from the PIP. Not sure you can.
4 Stars 12/19/08 price refurb $1250
I had a Samsung HP-P4271 1024 x 768 res. I bought only 5 years ago. I couldn’t believe that this refurb was miles ahead of my old HP-P4250 what ever that is. First I paid $2200 for 42″ of 1024×768 and 3000-1 contrast res max. With only one DVI-D input no HDMI. When I got my new HD sat receiver updated in Sept and the guy couldn’t hook it up to my TV cause it had old DVI-D input So that’s when I knew I needed a newer TV already. You can get the Yamaha new RX-V1900 7.1 surround @ 140W per chan w 4 HDMI inputs. You should put everything through that first. Blue ray, xbox, PS3, and computer. I’m HDMI crazy. They got to get rid of everything else and just leave HDMI.
So anyway I paid $1250 refurb at Compusa and $80 shipping freight. The Yamaha V1900 is around $1200 still cause its so new. But the V1800 got the same 4 HDMI inputs for around $800 online Then your set for COD4.
5 Stars Crystal clear display and bright colors
Got this TV about a year ago and I will never go back to any other brand.
5 Stars Beautiful Picture!!!
Please note this LCD tv does not have an anti glare screen. First and only lcd i have ever seen like this. First was disappointed with that feature, but have grown to love it. Gives clearer, more crisp picture. Still would not reccomend for heavily lit rooms.
