In a direct assault on traditional plasmas strengths, Samsung's flagship LCD shows how far the technology has evolved over a short period of time.
Not so many years ago most of us would have balked at attempts by any manufacturer to rival the performance of plasma in the 40in + screen domain. The LE52M87BD however is the living proof of how far the technology has progressed, especially when it comes to the traditional area of plasma strength - black level performance.
The LE52M87BDXs biggest technological selling point is a full HD enabled 1080p screen with a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. This enables the panel to map a 1080i source such as Sky TV exactly, pixel for pixel onto the screen with a potentially far superior picture than an LCD which has to scale 1080i to fit.
By far the most impressive aspect of the LE52M87's performance is the incredible black level performance. The depth and richness of blacks on this panel is well into Plasma territory. The achievement is due in no small part to the presence of Samsung's 'Super Clear Panel' and the option to adjust the LE52M87's backlight.
Samsung's 'Super Clear Panel' has been designed to boost (an already impressive 15,000:1) contrast ratio and improve colour reproduction.
Samsungs trusty Digital Natural Image Engine (DNIe) forms the picture processing heart of the LE52R87BDX. The technology focuses on improving black levels, colour saturations and sharpness.
