What is the difference between the following 2 LCD tvs: Samsung 52" T5265F & Samsung 52" T5281F?

The 5265 is $3,500 & the 5281 is $5,000. They had them both at BestBuy. The 5281 be only hooked up to an HD demo, which looked so clear, that it looked 3D. The 5265 looked considerably smaller amount clear(still really nice) but was hooked up to cable. I required to see both tvs with one and the same feed, but the 5281 would merely show the demo. I don't mind paying the extra $1,500 if the quality is a big difference. Is the extra money worth it? Does anyone own any one of these tvs?


Answers:    The 81 F series LCD HDTVs are the most recent generation (“8G”) display models produced by Samsung (S-LCD); the 65 F series are from Samsung’s previous age group (“7G”) product line.

It comes as no surprise that you see a perceptible difference between the two displays. Samsung’s 81 F series LCD TVs, with solely a very few special exceptions, are distinctly different than any other LCD HDTV on the market, including other Samsung LCD TV models. The 81 F series utilize, exceedingly wide color gamut, “field sequential” RGB LED backlight unit and do not use the standard color (micro)filter layer required on conventional white-light CCFL-backlit LCD panel. Samsung’s new solid-state BLU technology greatly enhance the contrast ratio (by a factor of 5 or more over conventional xxFL-backlit panels), reduces the BLU power consumption by approximately 40%, and increases the nominal lifespan of the BLU from 60,000 hours up to 100,000 hours.

The features I’ve mentioned above are the primary difference between the two product lines. Nevertheless, I cannot recommend paying the prices you quoted for any of those displays. Knock-off at least $500 or more from those prices and you’d be getting your money’s worth, chiefly for the LN-T5281F. One last register, you would be better served by purchasing an HDTV from a far more knowledgeable, customer service friendly authorized retailer save for Best Buy or Circuit City, especially for the prices you quoted.
