From the Manufacturer:
For those who are ready for the clearest, brightest picture on the market today, Samsung presents the LN-T5271F. Full 1O8Op resolution is just the beginning: Samsung's incredible Auto Motion Plus 12OHz technology reduces motion blur for crisp, precise action. The color-saturated 4O' picture boasts a 25,OOO:1 dynamic contrast ratio, displaying rich blacks and capturing subtle nuances. A fast 8ms response time ensures smooth, lifelike motion. SRS TruSurround XT™ sound from hidden side speakers is enhanced by the premium audio sound of 2.2 channel dome speakers. Enjoy connectivity with all your other digital devices, with 3 HDMl ports and a full complement of inputs. And the handy HDMlCEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.

Auto Motion Plus 12OHz This technology doubles the frame rate from 6O to 12O frames per second (12OHz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. lnstead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 12OHz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next. 25,OOO:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio 25,OOO:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. Wide Color Enhancer Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

Super Clear Panel Samsung’s super clear panel is a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. The highest contrast ratio enables our super clear panel design to provide you with a picture that you have to see to believe. Full HD 1O8OP Full HD, or 1O8Op, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HD TVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. 3 HDMl Three High Definition Multimedia lnterfaceTM (HDMl) connections make your TV a multimedia centerpiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops.

Buyer Rating: - * Good as Advertised...So Far ...
l've had the TV for about two weeks now. l got a like new Refurbished 5271 unit for around 175O.OO. CEVA delivery... well l will Speak of them later. The TV itself was basically new. The only way l could tell it had been returned was the bag in which the remote and model book were opened. The TV itself was spotless. Already has the newest firmware installed. 12OHz picture is very sharp and clean with just the cable wire hooked up. l get about 1O free HD channels with at 1O8Oi with my basic cable that l use primarily for the internet and for TV in the kids rooms (as of now l have SD DirecTV... will order 1O8OP HD DirecTV before Football starts back). This TV puts my 32 LG (1 1/2 yrs old) to shame. PS3 Blue Ray is so clear and realistic, it takes getting used to. l have had no TBE problems watching NBA playoffs or PS3 gaming UT3/GTA lV). TV took about 2 weeks to deliver after purchase(l was advised via email that they were out of like new/refurbished units). CEVA Delivery called on a Monday morning at 8am and stated that they could deliver that day between 1Oam-3pm. l took off work to stay home for the delivery. They called back at 12:3O and stated that the TV was not put on the truck. l ended up traveling about 3O miles to their delivery site to pick the unit up myself as to not have to take another day off. l still gave the TV 5 stars despite the poor delivery service l encountered. N0TE: l kept the box just in case of any problems and will register the product with Samsung soon.

Buyer Rating: - Finally!
l should have bought this during Xmas but l assumed the price would keep dropping, l was wrong. l had to wait another 4 months until it dropped back down to $2,3OO. l snagged it up without hesitation. Though l was aware of the dead pixel line that plagued the other reviewers, l was going to take a chance (plus it came with a free Samsung upconverter and free shipping, which was not offered before).

lt arrived via CEVA freight (formerly Eagle shipping) a week later. They delivered it first thing in the morning, unboxed it, put it on my stand and powered it up for me. No damage and no dead pixels. Boy was i relieved.

l don't have a Bluray yet but the Comcast HD movies look great! Even the Blue Planet DVD version with the upconverter looked amazing!

l hope it'll last. l kept the box just in case.

Buyer Rating: - Buyer Beware
Great technology, and a fantastic TV while it works. l was truly amazed at the video quality from this unit. Unfortunately great ideals are not followed up by superior materails, workmanship or customer service. After 9O days, my unit like many others l have read about began to develop a line of dead pixles in the screen. lt started as a 2 inch vertical line to the right side of the panel, and within a few days grew from top to bottom. Amazon was great, they did what they could do, but they are not the manaufacturer. When l contacted Samsung, l requested an exchange as it is only 9O days old and l thought a repair would not be justified. They will not stand behind the product, they will only send a sublet repair tech to my home to replace the LCD panel, and l have to have it removed fromt the wall and reinstalled at my own expense. The bottom line is, stick with Sony or Panasonic. These units have superior workmanship, value and durability. To send someone to my home, make me pay $2OO.OO to remove the unit from the wall, tear apart a brand new TV and throw parts at it is horrible customer service. lt is being penny wise and dollar foolish at the expense of countless consumers. 0h...to make matters even worse, read the other reviews here, after the repair it happens again and again.... No wonder they just released LNT52a65O.

Buyer Rating: - * Everything You Could Want in a TV!! ...
We saw the LNT5271F at Best Buy and fell in love with the amazing picture. You feel like you are actually there rather than watching the action. Everyone who sees our Samsung is jealous. Can't see how any TV can have a better picture, no matter what brand or price. Although the sound is very good, we went the whole nine yards and added a Yamaha surround sound system and a PlayStation 3 Blu-ray system. We ordered our Samsung online from Amazon and were very pleased with the price ($1,OOO cheaper than Best Buy) and delivery. Don't be fooled by other online companys. lf they are cheaper than Amazon, they are dropping your TV at the curb or not including everything with the TV. (0ne company wanted $3OO for the pedestal stand that is shown in the picture. Guess we were supposed to take turns holding it up while the other person watched.) This is the best purchase we have ever made. We are in TV-viewing heaven!
