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.

2 HDMI
Two 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. 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 ensur-es that each image is just as good as the real thing.

Customer Reviews

Excellent value for first time big screen buy!
I had been looking at 40" LCD TV's since January this year and didn't have a very big budget. I had been monitoring the price of the Samsung LE40N73 model forever when I figured it would be a good idea to check out alternative models. This one caught my eye, so my partner and I decided to see it at a local electrical store. It looked pretty good and has a nice shape to it. Checked out the spec online and nothing came as being bad about it except the sound. In short I have now had this TV since start of August and it is excellent. Like most large screen TV's it involves changing the picture settings to get the best quality. However this is NOT difficult! The movie setting is excellent and along with the Samsung HT-TH22R Home Theatre the screen becomes alive. All I can say is that definately worth the purchase if you do not have bundles of cash to spend and want something that touches upon the home threatre experience.

sounds good but is it???
I've been looking to buy a tv for months now and i going towards samsung because thats the tvs microsoft use to test the 360. I dont know if its amazon or samsung but on samsung website this tv states it is not 1080p (full HD) but on amazon it does?? But dont let that put you off this tv is a work of art and so is everyone of samsungs tvs. If you want a great looking HD TV and you dont want a hole in your wallet then the S and R range of samsung tvs. If your a xbox 360 gamer then the M series with the 100Hz. If your PS3 the full HD later M series models. I am going for the M with 100Hz becasue theres no motion blur. Hope this helps

Can't fault this TV
Mine was delivered just over a week ago.

Extremely easy to set up. Straight out of ther box, plugged in, followed a few very simple instructions and it pretty much does it for you.

The TV's styling is very nice and although I was worried, it does not look too big in our fairly small living room.

Out of the box the picture is ok, but if you spend some time tweaking the settings (contrast/ colour/ brightness/ sharpness/DNIE/Movie plus etc) the picture is excellent. I've only used standard definition freeview (built in) and with the tweaked settings the picture is superb. (advice on optimum picture settings found on AVforums website)

I've read that this TV's picture doesn't cope well with movement but I have to say I watched Match of The Day on sunday and was surprised at how good it was. There was no judder that I could see, and it was fairly obvious on the 40" LG screen I watched the game on live at the pub.

I've also plugged in my PS2 via the red/yellow/white leads and it looks good. Obviously with an HD input the picture would be even better.

I'm sure there are technology aficiondos out there who could point to some minor negatives in the spec, but for somebody who's looking to either upgrade to a bigger flat screen or switch over from a CRT TV you won't get better (in my opinion)for £530 (the 32" is £519 on amazon so you get 8" for £11!)
