Manufacturer's Description
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.

Wide Colour Enhancer
This exclusive technology delivers more brilliant colours, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system presents a wider colour gamut and four times as many colour gradations, showing you true colours; the fresh green of spring foliage, and the intense blue of the summer sky.

Movie Plus
Conventional LCD TVs are plagued by motion judder when showing fast moving action in movies and sporting events. The moving person or object looks shaky or blurred, like a series of still images, instead of a smooth moving picture. Samsung's exclusive Movie Plus completely eliminates this judder, presenting smooth action, no matter how fast it is going.

3 HDMI
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. (23", 26" Models have 2 HDMI).

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.

Fast Response Time
Exceptionally quick and sharp, with speed of up to 6ms (millisecond), users will be able to see the remarkable difference in the response time of Samsung LCD TVs. The LCD TV ensures that each image is just as good as the real thing.

Swivel Stand
The LCD TV's ingenious swivel stand affords consumers the ultimate flexibility in positioning the TV in their house. It allows for mobility and ergonomic comfort in your house.

Customer Reviews

I haven't been 'wowed' by it..... any suggestions?
I bought this 2 weeks ago and am unsure about it. I thought this model offered the best attributes for the best price and hoped to be 'wowed' by intense HD when i set it up. Unfortunately, TV from my standard Sky box is actually worse than it was on my old CRT TV! Can anyone advise why this is? Had mixed responsed from colleagues - some said it's because my TV is too high grade (1080P) for the lower-res Sky signal and it's showing the cracks more clearly. (Apparently a Sky HD box will solve this). This would make sense if it weren't for the fact that other colleagues say that 'normal' Sky works fine on their giant TV!!

Just bought a PS3 and an HDMI cable to see if that made stuff look great - games and blu-rays look good, but not sure they're visibly better than normal DVD quality on my old CRT.

Can anyone solve this dilemma?

Researched it , bought it ,love it !!!!!!!

Gorgeous!
I love my Samsung TV :)

I recently upgraded from a 32" 720p/1080i to this 40" Samsung 1080p TV and the difference is truly amazing. I wasn't expecting a massive difference but there was. It is shocking how quickly technology moves on. I bought my previous TV about 2/3 years ago, but compared to my Samsung it may as well have been a 20" CRT.

This TV really is that good! The picture quality is flawless, and a comprehensive menu of features ensures that you can tune it to your personal taste. The sound, even with the inbuilt speakers is excellent - I don't even bother with a dedicated amp any more.

I have connected my PS3 and have played several games and Blu-Ray movies on the TV and they look perfect, absolutely PERFECT. The only downside (and this is true for all large screen HD TV's) is that standard definition TV broadcasts look a little choppy by comparison, but TV broadcasts are heading down the HD route anyway so it's only a temporary issue.

Also, with most of the front of the TV being the screen (no awkward looking speakers on the side) the profile is relatively small (compared to other 40" TV's I have seen) and as such it won't look out of place or "vulgar" in a standard living room.

I highly recommend this TV.
