Samsung's growing reputation for design is undiminished, with the LE52M86BD's jet-black, high-gloss screen bezel and cute, angled, translucent strip along the bottom really setting the design to an aesthetic high.
Connectivity is excellent. There are three HDMIs, a component video input, Scarts, a VGA PC port, an optical audio output for forwarding multichannel digital audio tracks received via HDMI to an AV receiver.
Attractive on-screen menus are stuffed with options: a dynamic contrast facility allows the backlight to automatically reduce its output during dark scenes; Samsung's Digital Natural Image video processing tweaks colours, black level, motion and detailing; Movie Plus delivers enhanced 3:2 pull down in movie-viewing to reduce motion problems.
