Manufacturer's Description
1080p HD Ready
Samsung now offers 1080p HD Ready - the highest definition you can get. This is an LCD TV that takes you to new heights in picture quality. These HDTV images have riveting impact - showing you lifelike detail, clarity, and colour like you've never seen before.

HD Ready
HDTV allows you to experience television like never before with the widest range of colours and the clearest images. High Definition contains four or five times as many pixels making the image much clearer than standard definition.

100HZ Motion Plus
Samsung’s LCD 100Hz converts the amount of images intelligently from 50 to 100 frames per second by inserting a frame between each two frames. The inserted frame maintains the detailed motion characteristics of the video, and goes through motion estimation and compensation processing. Therefore, compared to a mere duplication and insertion of frames, more natural motion can be realised without undermining other characteristics such as clarity, brightness and colour.

3HDMI
Three High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centrepiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, satellite dish boxes 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 a HDTV.

Game Mode
Samsung LCD TVs offer unparalleled picture quality that can be optimised for gaming at the touch of a button. It allows for H-sharpness and a faster response time in the games. In addition, its powerful surround sound effects produce a magical environ-ment of wonder that is filled with excitement and joy.

WiseLink
With the Wiselink USB connection, you can listen to mp3s or display photo/image files (jpeg only) in your digital camera USB memory stick or memory card. In addition, USB 2.0 supports high speeds of up to 480 Mbps which is 40 times faster than the speed of USB 1.1.

LE46F86 WORTH THE WAIT
Had this TV on order for a month after seeing a friends set, 100hz and 25000 contrast is impressive numbers but whats it like for real? and im not a technical sort of guy, well its huge for one :-) it took me all of 10mins to get it up and running inc opening the box (which was huge) needs 2 people to lift due to size not particually its weight, connected scart to sky box turned it on entred date time and way it goes---WOW!!! Watched transformers in HD last night --fantastic! sound good for stand alone, but try "THE INCREDIBLES" dvd through my upscaler HD/DVD player was like watching a different movie even though my kids have made me watch it several times! Blinding set, paid around £1400 lot of money but nothing else will get you this performance and size for yer hard earned.

great tv!
Have had this for around a week now and after playing around with the settings with different sources of video, I'm convinced this is a super TV! But one word of caution to potential buyers....if you wish to simply take it out of the box and plug and play, you may be disappointed with the results. This TV needs a fair bit of calibration, but once achieved, its as good as the best plasmas in terms of blacks and colours. Needless to add this is undoubtedly one of the best looking TVs out there. SD picture is better than many similar TVs and upscaled DVD and HD is brilliant. TV sound is also pretty good. No complaints in terms of sepcs.

Exceptional Unit - But not plug and play
I've had this TV for a week. After much research I took the plunge for the Samsung LE46F86BD, and I have clearly made the right decision. What a great looking set, very cool, with smooth, sleek lines. The picture is very good. The internal freeview is sharp and my Sky+ performs very well too. As with all LCD's there are still issues around the "fuzzness" around fast moving objects, but by being able to use the 100Hz processor in this set, this is reduced to a minimum. I don't have a blu-ray player but I am upscaling to 1080i through my Samsung DVD player, which is totally mindblowing, my collection of DVD's has come to life.

One word of caution as per other reviews, this set does take some time to set up. It arrives in "Dynamic" mode with colours which are very lurid. However, spend some time chaging these setting and you will be rewarded with a great performing and great value set. There are also many menu's and sub menu's to use to tweak the setting to your liking....Samsung could be accused of giving you too much choice.

All in all a great set, very highly recomended, but it helps to have a home cinema kit and at the very minimum an upsacling DVD player or you will miss out on the areas where this TV is a class leader.
