The series includes displays that range from 32" to 52" in size with a 16:9 image aspect ratio for widescreen picture. It features a 6ms response time, high dynamic contrast ratio, and utilizes Wide Color Enhancer technology for vibrant color saturation. The 5 Series includes three submodels, the 530 models, mid-range 540 models, and the more advanced 550 models. The 530 models are characterized by a glossy black bezel and 3 HDMI inputs while the 550 models feature a red-tinted bezel, higher contrast ratio, and an additional HDMI input compared to the 530 models.
