Samsung LN32C550 32" 1080p LCD HDTV



Thanks to its four HDMI inputs and a Full HD 1080p panel resolution, you can use the Samsung LN32C550 to enjoy HD viewing from sources like Blu-ray Disc. But with this Samsung LCD HDTV, you can do even more. A rear ethernet port gives you the ability to connect this LCD to your home network, making it possible to stream music, photos, and video directly to the 32" HDTV. Look to a special Game Mode for sound and picture quality optimized for gaming content.

AllShare and ConnectShare . . . beyond your standard connections

Yes, it certainly is a big deal that the LN32C550 LCD HDTV offers four HDMI inputs. That's the most advanced, single-cable video and audio connection available . . . times four. In other words, you're equipped to connect up to four HD-capable devices to this C550 series panel. But when it comes to connections, the LN32C550 raises the bar even further. First, AllShare technology allows you to sync the LN32C550 up with your home network either via ethernet or wirelessly (with the separate WIS09 wireless USB dongle). Once connected, you're free to stream audio and video from your PC/home network directly to the LN32C550 using the remote control. You effectively convert your HDTV into a multimedia hub. Second, with ConnectShare Movie technology, you can connect a thumbdrive or digital camera to one of the LN32C550's two USB ports, and then use a simple on-screen interface to access video, music, or photos stored on the connected device. Finally, no matter your source of audio or video — Blu-ray player, satellite, or PC — BD Wise technology automatically adjusts all components for the best picture and sound quality.

Detail is only half the story

Yes, the Samsung LN32C550 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 LN32C550.

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 LN32C550 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 LN32C550'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.

And for the gamers

The folks at Samsung give a nod to gamers with the C550 series. The LN32C550's Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, accelerates image processing, and enhances audio output. In other words, the LN32C550's performance can be optimized for the special needs of gaming content at the touch of a button.

The advanced connectivity of HDMI

Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's LN32C550 features four HDMI inputs. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Your HD lifeline

High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passes along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater's high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components.
