HDTV review: Samsung FP-T5084 Plasma
By Darco | February 24, 2008
The 50-inch, plasma Samsung FP-T5084 scores with a combination of good performance, reasonable price and competitive features.
The Samsung FP-T5084 offers pleasing colours and sharp picture detail in a sleekly designed cabinet. Moreover, this 50in plasma HDTV has an affordable price.
Colours in high-definition scenes were luxuriously rich. An HD scene revealed bright, natural colours and realistic skin tones. Jurors watching ‘Corpse Bride’, a colourfully macabre animated film, gave the Samsung FP-T5084 a high score for the vivid tones and detail that it reproÂduced. Standard-definition quality was slightly above average; a standard-definition baseball game had well-saturated oranges and turf greens, with fine detail in dark areas and minimal pixelation.
The Samsung FP-T5084 offers a slew of adjustable settings, including RGB gain and offset controls in the White Balance section of the OSD menu (for fine colour temperature controls), and separate pink, green, blue, and white settings in My Colour Control.
