Samsung KDL-46Z4100 40" Series 5 1080p LCD HDTV
by Franz Bicar
With more and more users coverting to digital television, more and more television programming will be offered in high definition. It only makes sense to invest in a TV that can display the best of HD. With the Series 5 LN40A550, you get the features that will make the most of your viewing experience.
The native 1080p resolution is the highest currently available. A 30,000:1 contrast ratio and 500nit brightness give the kind of depth and richness you need for a realistic picture. A fast 5ms response time minimizes blurring of fast-motion video. Entertainment modes allow customized picture settings optimized for different content like sports, movies, and gaming. And handy features like Picture-in-Picture, sound leveler (keeping audio volume consistent during channel changes), and the V-Chip system give you the kind of control you want over your entertainment.
DNIe is innovative technology that delivers a crisp, lifelike picture that more closely resembles the look of film regardless of the input signals used. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Plug in your standard DVD player, and the television will increase the quality of the picture. This technology guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.
In this day of rapidly advancing TV technology, you need to be ready for anything the broadcasters and movie makers throw at you. The Samsung LN40A550 is there for you with the kind of connections that will make sure you’re in for the long haul.
With one HDMI input on the side and two in the back, you can add as many high definition peripherals as you need. Even if you have a gaming system, you can just connect it to the side. HD cable or satellite isn’t a problem either. One of the back hookups is perfect, just as it is for a Blu-ray disc player or your receiver.
In case you still prefer the standard DVD player or even VCR, the LN40A550 offers component, S-video, and composite inputs as well. Wiselink lets you easily hook up your MP3 player or digital camera to your TV with the USB 2.0 connection. A simple user interface lets you scroll through and view play lists and pictures. You can zoom, rotate or play photo slide shows and even add music. With this TV, your bases are covered.
Picture is only half of the high definition experience. Sound makes it complete. If you don’t have the full surround sound setup, you can still get a rich sound from the LN40A550 with its SRS TruSurround XT. 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.
