Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp back lights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.

Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMI-CEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote.

Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.

Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface.

Audio Features

TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.

SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the sound stage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Simply Awesome!
A few days ago I purchased a Sony KDL40S4100 but returned it and replaced it with this beautiful set. I was experiencing some problems with ghosting and blacks when viewing HDDVD's on the Sony.
This set leaps beyond the Sony. I was downsizing from a 46 to a 40 inch set and originally wanted this one. I had good luck with my previous Sony so that was why I got the second Sony (the one I returned). Bad decision.
You literally pull this set out of the box (stand pre-assembled) and plug ...

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Amazon customer service
Check Amazon delivery date up front prior to buying. The delivery date provided by Amazon email after purchase was outside the standard 3- 5 business days. I spent over an hour (3 separate phone calls) trying to speak to a customer service person that could explain why. When I finally got connected to someone in the United States, she explained that you get the 1st customer service person and you can not get transferred. I had a choice of other tv providers and will NOT use Amazon next time.

Samsung LN40A550 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
I selected the model which is not the most recent because of numerous reviews about the matte non-reflective qualities of the screen compared with the newer A650.I also was impressed with the reviews on this and other sites.I am not at all disappointed.Even with large amounts of light coming through the very-nearby windows, the picture is clearly viewable without reflections.I am very happy with this.In general for my needs (satellite HD signal) ...
