Review SAMSUNG PS63P76FDX-XEU

Wow!!  What can I say 63 inches.  This Samsung beast measures up at an enormous 108 x 152 x 423 cm. the size speaks for itself.  And the other specifications are quite remarkable also but with some stores asking £5,000, for this beast.  Is it worth it?  Please read on to find out more.

First of all let's cover the basics. As you would expect in a TV of this price.  It has a digital tuner with all the free view channels.  It has an S-video connection, a component video connection, AV input, no less than 3 HDMI connections, DVI connection and is each HDCP enabled for watching high-definition TV broadcasts. In case you're wondering, HDCP is an acronym for high definition Copyright protection.  It is a chip that descrambles a high-definition broadcast.  There is a useful headphone socket, programme timer, a sleep timer, a Child Lock, teletext and fast text. And Breathe.

Anyway, that's got the basics out the way, how good is the SAMSUNG PS63P76FDX/XEU? Just listen to this specification list.  1080 HD compatible.  A massive 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution.  The stonking 15,000:1 contrast ratio.  And not to be let down by the brightness.  A superb 1000 CD/M2.  And for me, the absolute best thing about the picture on this TV is that Samsung have spared us any digital picture enhancement technology.  Surely this is an is an implied admittance that all such technologies are a waste of time and energy.  Why else the top manufacturer not putting any such technology in what is its highest specification television ever.  Thank you, Samsung I feel vindicated for all my previous comments.  And thank you Samsung at last concentrating on what really matters in a TV.  The actual components and leaving out what doesn't matter.

So in a nutshell, the picture on this TV is literally unbeatable.  63 inches of
ultimate high quality, high-definition glory to be had in this beauty.  I can't stress enough, this is possibly the best picture that can be purchased on the high street.

This TV can also be used as a computer monitor at WXGA resolution.  This is the same as you would find in a top of the range laptop, added to that is that it will be interpolated to sit on a 63 inch display, so this set will give remarkable performance and clarity for PC use.  Perfect for big company presentations or comfortable PC working from the armchair at home.  If you have a Playstation 3 or an Xbox 360 and you want the ultimate of screen for your gaming experience the SAMSUNG PS63P76FDX/XEU is for you.

The sound is as good as you can expect built into a TV.  This TV has 30 W RMS output and the SRS-XT, sound system.  Having said that of course, although that's about as good you should get built into a television with a few exceptions.  You can't really do 63 inch of high-definition proper justice without getting a separate sound system.  So if you are thinking of buying this TV add at  least £250 onto your estimated price to make sure you do it justice.

the looks of this TV are good.  Samsung has added a slight shiny sheen to their regular matt finish and I am pleased that they have.  I think that had a regular plain black finish been produced on this monster it would have been a shame.  The desktop stand is neater and more compact than on most Samsung's before it.  But really something of this size and quality should be wall mounted for the best experience.

So in summary, the SAMSUNG PS63P76FDX/XEU really is superb.  63 inches of the highest quality picture great sound, but to do it proper justice an upgrade would be required, and it has all the features you would expect built in.
