Disappointingly the LE32A559 is equipped with 'Clear Panel' rather than the latest incarnation of the technology 'Ultra Clear Panel'. The system works to reduce glare and improve contrast for a more comfortable viewing experience in all lighting conditions.
The LE32A599 does however sport one of the latest incarnations of Samsung's picture processing technology, DNIe + (Digital Natural Image engine). With a Motion Optimizer, Contrast Enhancer, Detail enhancer and Colour Optimizer, DNIe + works to improve these four main aspects of the LE32A599's performance. DNIe has a track record of producing impressive results on previous LCD and Plasma offerings from the Korean electronics manufacturer.
With the benefit of 'Exact Scan' mode which maps pixel for pixel a 1080 line source (Sky's 1080i SD in this case) to the 32A559's Full HD resolution, picture performance is remarkably accomplished. The detail present and sharpness of on screen images belies this panels sub £500 price tag. A poorer quality Freeview source is ultimately less satisfying. An element of video noise creeps into the picture with a degree of sharpness being lost as part of the upscaling process. Motion handling is good although fast on-screen action does reveal an element of blurring. The effect however is minimal and did not encroach to any great degree on the enjoyment of this screen.
