Samsung's LN-R328W

Released in April 2005, is one of the newer generations LCD's from Samsung. Powered by a fair amount of cool electronics and algorithms, this particular set was a tough one for us to review -- because of all the acronyms and buzzwords thrown at us.

Some of the new technologies we saw in this series from Samsung, include:

"My Color Control": This is setting expands the traditional "3" color controls on TVs ( Red, Green and Blue) into six. You can now control six colors to get a much better picture -- Red, Pink, Blue, Green, Yellow and White.

Like all new Samsung sets, this set features DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine) which essentially enhances, motion color, contrast and detail.

Key technical specifications of this set include:

• HD-Grade 1366(H) x 768(V) Pixel Resolution
• 3,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
• 500 cd/m² Brightness
• Samsung DNIe™
• 170°(H)/170°(V) Viewing Angle
• Fast 12ms Response time
• 3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter
• HDMI, 2 Component Video, S-Video, PC Inputs

The price point is average to slighly above for a new generation set released in '2005, but we do feel it represents good value for a consumer.
