Panel detail
Panel detail	Edge-lit LED LCD with LG Cinema Screen narrow bezel and passive Cinema 3D; LG Denmark's 32-inch sheet lists 1920 × 1080 resolution but contradictorily marks Full HD as No	Edge-lit LCD with active-shutter 3D. The 2011 UK manual confirms Full HD resolution across the three sizes; its 60 Hz PC input timing is not the panel's native refresh rate, which Samsung does not specify there.

Picture processing	Triple XD Engine, LED local dimming, LG Picture Wizard and 2D-to-3D conversion	Samsung Auto Motion Plus and Micro Dimming are described in contemporary 55-inch reviews. The UK manual gives 1920 × 1080 resolution but no native panel refresh rate or dimming-zone count.
