Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp

The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp back lights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors.

Samsung's exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors - the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components 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 an HDTV.

Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV's sophisticated content management interface.

Audio Features

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. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.

SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.

TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the sound stage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Stereo broadcast reception is offered for MTS and SAP with 181-channel capacity. A sound leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

HDTV Size chart
With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.
If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.
  • Minimum size = Viewing distance/3
  • Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
  • Series 5 1080p LCD HDTVs are available in 32-inch, 37-inch, 40-inch, 46-inch, and 52-inch models
  • Series 6 1080p LCD HDTVs are available in 19-inch, 22-inch, 32-inch, 40-inch, 46-inch, and 52-inch models
  • Series 7 1080p LCD HDTVs are available in 40-inch, 46-inch, and 52-inch models

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fabulous TV and a great price
Highly recommend the Samsung LCD 1080P Televisions - bought a 46" last year and a 40 " recently. Both met my expectations. Amazon's price and delivery service was super ! I tell everyone I know about it.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE BEST 40" LCD HDTV
Bought this TV last week after doing a daily search for four weeks to pick the best one in the 40" catagory (the upper limit for our room size/ratio - and I'm an aerospace engineer, so performance and specs matter). This Samsung blows all the others away. Second would be the Sony Bravia series. Everything is easy to use and intuitive. Picture is excellent - everything as advertised. Would buy one for everyone I know if I could. Amazon price is the best also. If you want a 40" you must have this one. ...

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Almost excellent
The Samsung LN40A550 40-inch 1080p LCD HDTV is everything we wanted in a TV. I did some research on Samsung products before we made the purchace and Samsung has pioneered a lot of electronics.

The picture is very good and we didn't have to adjust colors or any other fine adjustments. The sound quality was very good and with lots of room for expansion. The menu ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent HDTV
I just got this first HDTV after considerable research. Amazon had the best price. I was reluctant about buying via Amazon but the experience was great. The TV arrived in a few days and they set it up, checked it for apperarance and performance. A few days later the price dropped and Amazon quickly refunded the price difference.

The setings were perfect and needed no adjustment. The HDTV works great with HD, digital, standard cable, DVD's and even VCR tapes.The design is nice with a turnable ... Read More
