The Samsung PN50A760's glossy finish and red highlights may not please everyone, but they offer a different look that sets the HDTV apart from the typical fare.

Front
From the front the Samsung PN50A760 is dominated by its 50-inch display. The display is surrounded by a glass bezel in black with subtle red highlights. Below the display on the bezel is the Samsung logo. There's a glowing red strip sitting just under the bezel that acts as a touch sensitive power button. On the right side of the bezel towards the bottom are the rest of the touch sensitive on-tv controls.

Back
The back of the Samsung PN50A760 is relatively plain, you'll find a tightly grouped collection of ports at the bottom right.

Left
On the left side of the PN50A760 you'll find another collection of ports for easy access.

Right
There are no features on the right side of the Samsung PN50A760.

Stand/Mount
The Samsung PN50A760's stand is a flat glass pane with the same black and red highlights as the television bezel. The stand does rotate and the television can also be mounted on the wall if you wish.

Controls
The on-tv controls are found in two locations. The power controls is found on the touch sensitive red glowing strip that sits directly underneath the bezel on the front. The rest of the controls are found on the right side of the bezel towards the right.

Remote
The Samsung PN50A760's remote is similar to those we've seen from other Samsung televisions with a glossy black finish on the front and a curved back.

In The Box (5.0)
The Samsung PN50A760 ships with a remote with batteries, instruction manual, power cord and a cleaning cloth. There are no cables included so you'll need to pick those up separately.

Aesthetics (8.0)
The Samsung PN50A760's is a step above the typical glossy black televisions that you see. The glass bezel and stand are obvious signs of higher-end constructions. You'll have to decide for yourself if you like the subtle red highlights towards the edge of the bezel, but we like the simple and elegant design.
