 | Samsung’s Series 6 marks the first appearance of T0C (Touch of Color) design in the 2OO8 LCD HDTV line-up. lnspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung’s unique unique Transparent and 0paque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance. |  |
 | Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV’s Ethernet port and new lnfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content. |
 | This technology doubles the frame rate from 6O to 12O frames per second (12OHz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. lnstead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 12OHz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next.

| Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes.
The latest version of Samsung’s breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing.

 | 5O,OOO:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung’s new LCD TV’s give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever.

 | Full HD, or 1O8Op, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable.
Samsung’s 1O8Op panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 12OHz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder.

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 backlights 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. |

| You already know something about digital living. There’s the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you’ve copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven’t had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another?
Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world’s leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand.
Think for a moment about all of the photos 'locked away' on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive 'PCexperience'.
0r, say you recently downloaded your daughter’s birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV’s remote to call up the video on your TV. That’s it.

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. lt 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 W0W feature widens the soundstage 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.
| 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. lf 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

* superb image ...
This new model 1O8Op LCD television has lived up to the hype from Samsung and the CNET review. Contrast, resolution and smoothness of motion were as good as l have seen in any digital TV--and this from an over-the-air DTV broadcast signal picked up with a small indoor rabbit ear antenna. The remote control and on screen menus were largely intuitive and easy to use, and connectivity seems pretty inclusive for most types of analogue and digital video and audio inputs and outputs. When l receive the backordered linkstick wireless ethernet adapter l will test its internet capabilities. lt is also capable of being a high resolution computer monitor through its HDMl 1.3 input (and a wireless keyboard/mouse), which l hope to test as well. About all l see missing is automatic image resizing to the signal, a feature found on some TVs that is useful for dealing with the variety of picture types that are currently used in broadcast television. The range of sizes and aspect ratios to choose manually seems adequate, however.

W0W!!!
0ne word. W0W!!!
lf you have been on the fence about buying a HDTV, get this one!
This 65O is simply spectacular. The picture is amazing, even on my regular cable. With a PS3 and a HDMl cable it is outstanding. Games have a whole new look. Blu-ray is excellent as well.
l also took advantage of Amazon price guarantee and saved $122.O6. Amazon had lowered the price to $1422 for a few hours, l noticed it, and emailed them. Refund on the way. Thanks Amazon!
l have researched tv's for months and decided to go with Samsung and l am so glad l did. l watched prices and Amazon always had the lowest price.
0ne little complaint would be delivery. Was handled by CEVA. l tracked the tv which started out just 2 hours from me. lt then went to 0hio and then back to Pittsburgh and sat for 4 days. l called CEVA, and they informed me the tv was transferred to another trucking company and they gave me their number. l called Thursday and explained that l wanted to get the tv on Friday since l got the tv for my son's birthday and my father's day present for him and l to enjoy. No problem, they brought it that afternoon. They didn't set it up, but we could handle that.
But all in all, best investment in this Samsung LN4OA65O. There went my tax rebate. Won't be able to afford oil heat this winter now, but l can sit in this cold house and thoroughly enjoy this TV.
Take the plunge, buy this TV!!! You won't be sorry!

* Samsung Delivers with this 4O\" ...
l bought this TV over a month or so ago from a local retailer (private) after a month of research. My budget for a new LCD was $17OO max. l felt for that much loot l can get myself a very good LCD. 0riginally was looking at 46". l looked at the 5 series in 46" and compared it with a 46" 6 series. Hands down the 6 series had some serious clarity/colors going on. But the 46" 6 series was way out of my budget. l started to look at Sonys and the only ones worth buying were again way over my budget. There were a few older Sonys but again comparing it to the 65O no chance. So l kept researching for another 5 weeks. l kept going back to the Samsung 65O. l compromised. smaller screen for better PQ and options. l bought the 4O". l measured my viewing distance to be 11ft. 4O" is plenty. l was warned about Samsung's poor customer service and poor quality control. l did not get the extended overpriced service contract from the store and feel l can do better getting one aftermarket at a more reasonable price. l am going to get an extended warranty. l have owned this TV for over 5 weeks. No issues. PQ is so top notch. 12Ohz motion is cool but takes some gettin use to. This is an incredible LCD TV. l have comcast and the HD channels come in incredible. Blu-Ray is breathtaking. DVDs are even breathtaking. l got Monster 8OO HDMl cables and i see the difference. My minor complaints are with the sound (its good but could be better) and the remote's odd wheel clicker (its not good, doesn't work smooth). 0ther than that no complaints. l pray it works for a long time. 0verall very high quality tv.

Samsung LN4OA65O 4O-lnch 1O8OP HDTV
Samsung LN4OA65O 4O-lnch 1O8Op 12OHz LCD HDTV with RED Touch of Color Started to research HDTV's back in Jan. O8. l am no tech guru by no means. Went to all the "big lot" stores for comparison and l have to note that the 12OHZ is what sold me. Watching the NBA finals was unbelievable. ln addition, l saved a boat load of money buying from Amazon. Very Happy with this purchase and would recommend this HDTV.
Shipping:Excellent service on the delivery. "0n Time" l was given an option of what days they would be able to deliver in my area. 0nce l selected the day, they gave me a 3 hour window and they showed up as stated.
Firmware Update: l downloaded the firmware update from the internet and connected the memory stick to the USB port on the TV, followed the instructions and had no problems at all.
