Manufacturer's Description
LED Back-lit Technology TV

How does Samsung make it so slim?

There can be only one thinnest, clearest, most elegant television. Easily, it's Samsung's LED. Breathtakingly thin, it's designed as one seamless piece of flawless crystal. On its LED screen, vivid details are captured in every frame. Picture edge-blur removed and full, robust colour restored to each pixel. Watch television programs, web content or your own,knowing you're also being kind to the environment. It's a remarkable feat of design, on or off.

LED Technology
What is LED?
Standard LCD TVs use a simple constant fluorescent lamp backlight to illuminate the image on the screen. But this type of lamp is too bright to display decent black images, so blacks can look grey and washed out. Fluorescent light also includes unwanted colours such as orange, yellow and cyan which are difficult to filter without reducing screen brightness.

How does Samsung make it so slim?
Samsung takes slimness a step further by arranging the LEDs around the outside of the screen and pointing them inwards. This optimised structure makes the Samsung LED TV incredibly slim. Some models are a mere 29mm!

Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a new technology that converts electric energy directly into light, producing a dramatic improvement in contrast and colour rendering. LED has a narrower spectrum of light with fewer unwanted colours.

Why is the Samsung picture so much better?
Samsung LED replaces ordinary fluorescent backlights with multiple LEDs that brighten, dim or turn off altogether depending on the picture on the screen giving you deep authentic blacks and a greater subtlety of colour gradiation in between.

1080p Full HD

1080p Full HD
Discover the Full HD difference. 1080p Full HD refers to images that are displayed at 1920 x 1080 resolution. With 1.5 times the scanning lines of conventional HD TV, Full HD offers more pixels, more details and superior picture clarity.

Ultra Slim
By using smaller lamps and a thinner diffuser sheet, Samsung LED TVs are 70% slimmer than equivalent fluorescent backlit televisions. This optimised structure makes the Samsung LED incredibly slim - just 29.9mm!

Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio
LED backlight technology allows for greater contrast levels, so bright images become brighter and dark images become darker.

Motion Plus
Conventional TVs display visuals at a 50Hz frame rate which means it shows 50 still images per second. Samsung Motion Plus™ runs at 100Hz or 200Hz (dependent on model), twice the rate or more of ordinary televisions, so even the fastest action scenes are precise, clear and blur-free.

Motion Plus™ works by intelligently estimating the on-screen action. Then it creates and inserts extra frames between frames. The result is a seamless, blur-free viewing experience that's perfect for sports and other fast-motion including scrolling text.

Ultra Clear Panel®
Conventional TVs display visuals at a 50Hz frame rate which means it shows 50 still images per second. Samsung Motion Plus™ runs at 100Hz or 200Hz (dependent on model), twice the rate or more of ordinary televisions, so even the fastest action scenes are precise, clear and blur-free.

Samsung's patented Ultra Clear Panel® technology gives you clear, crisp images without glare. A new anti-reflective coating delivers dramatically darker blacks, vibrant depth of colour and reduced reflection.

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) turns the TV into a digital media player so you can watch video and view pictures saved on your PC. A wired or wireless router pairs up the TV and DLNA certified equipment like laptops, PCs and even Samsung's Omnia mobile phone, so content can be streamed from one to the other. DLNA removes the need to copy media onto a USB storage device and then connect the USB to the TV.

Connect your digital world. HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) inputs transmit pure, uncompressed streams of digital data at the highest resolution. With 4 HDMI inputs (3 rear, 1 side), your TV is equipped with everything it needs to become your personal multimedia hub, allowing you to quickly connect external devices to the TV for an unrivalled audio visual experience.

Customer Reviews

Probably the best TV anywhere near the price
New technology - LED back light- has made this TV outstanding. My daughter who has a plasma set, wanted to know why the picture was so clear! Also it's a beautiful design (didn't like the red surround of the 40inch model)
I was all ready to buy a Sony - because everyone does - then saw this model, which was just recently on the market. There wasn't any choice...
Unless you're ready to pay £2000+, take a look at this TV in action first. You wont regret it.

Simply Superb!
When I first saw this TV in a store I could not believe how fantastic the design was - super slim and super sleek. I have now owned one of these TV's since May 2009 and I am bowled over by the picture quality. I started off with it hooked up to an old Sky+ box through the Scart connection. The performance with this set-up ranged from average to poor with a grainy picture and nasty motion artefacts.
The picture using the in-built digital tuner is very good (even though my aerial is fairly old and the connecting cable even older!
Next I hooked it up to a Blu ray player using an HDMI connection and this provided absolutely fantastic picture quality with deep blacks, bright whites and vibrant colours. The 100Hz processing keeps motion artefacts in check to provide excellent fast action reproduction. I spent some time playing with the huge number of picture settings - although the 'out of the box' settings are pretty good. Even the on-screen menus are nice to use.
I now have a Sky+HD box connected through HDMI and this is fantastic! Watching 'Planet Earth' really shows off the Samsungs abilities and Wimbledon coverage in HD seems like you are actually at the side of the court. Even the SD content through the sky HD box is superb.
The viewing angle is pretty good but the blacks do start to look greyer as the angle increases #which is typical of LCD screens#.
In my opinion the price of the Samsung wall mount is daylight robbery. I have used a standard slim Vesa wall bracket which does the job just fine. If you don't want to mount it on the wall it comes with a nice heavy glass base that looks good and works well.
The only real down-side is the sound quality which sounds fairly hollow and weak irrespective of tweaking the equalizer settings. I have it connected to an external surround sound amp using the optical digital output so I don't use the internal speakers at all.
The inbuilt picture gallery and other content is quite fun as are the internet widgets - though the novelty factor soon wears off. The DLNA was a doddle to set-up using the supplied media server software. I can now bore my family and friends with my holiday videos and photos at the touch of a button.
In summary this is a stunningly designed TV that provides picture performance to rival much more expensive sets. Highly recommended.

Amazing
Fantastic picture with the deepest blacks. Does so much more with its web connection and 2 USB docks to play pictures, music or videos. Audio not bad, but not as good as the screen. The best big screen there is at the moment for the price.
