Detail is only half the story
Yes, the Samsung LN37C550 LCD HDTV offers you a Full HD 1920 x 1080p resolution. That's the highest display resolution currently available and is ideally suited to watching HD content such as HD television or Blu-ray Disc movies. Now, while a 1080p resolution serves up over 2 million pixels for incredibly sharp and lifelike detail, there's more to HD than just detail . . . like, say, color. Maybe you're interested in watching Mr. Chaplin or three fellas by the names of Larry, Curly, and Moe in black-and-white on your new HDTV, but chances are you want to watch movies and TV in color. After all, you experience the real world in color, and you want a "real-world" viewing experience right in your living room. Accordingly, the folks at Samsung have also outfitted this Series 5 LCD panel with a Wide Color Enhancer. This technology delivers the entire spectrum of color as well as optimal luminescence, for a rich viewing experience saturated with vivid color tones and hues. See the full story with the LN37C550.

Not just efficient . . . 30% more efficient
Even with all of the innovative functionalities added to the C550 series, Samsung has maintained the energy-efficient performance for which their LCD HDTVs are known. In fact, they've made them even more efficient. Not only does the LN37C550 satisfy the U.S. government's ENERGY STAR 4.0 qualifications — the latest for display devices — but it surpasses those requirements by an impressive 30%. The secret is the LN37C550's built-in Light Sensor. Measuring levels of ambient light in your viewing area, Light Sensor technology automatically adjusts the panel's brightness for optimal viewing. Because the Light Sensor ensures that brightness levels never exceed what is necessary for ideal viewing, energy use is minimized, especially when viewing in low-light areas.
