Connections
A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any
one of the four HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy
Anynet+ feature (HDMI-CEC) lets you control all your CEC-enabled
peripherals--such as a DVD or Blu-ray player--using just one remote. Connect
HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish
components into the two 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.
Dimensions

Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times
more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean
more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV
with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional
HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. Samsung's 1080p panel
uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 6ms
(milliseconds). |

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 percent of this standard.
Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you
92 percent coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more
breathlessly vivid colors.
Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology delivers more brilliant colors by expanding the gamut of color expression into a third axis, creating a 3D diagram of luminance. This creates a dynamic display of on-screen color and allows traditionally weak colors, such as green and blue, to look vivid and deep. In addition, red colors are enhanced to provide strong colors across the spectrum and the perfect balance of RGB. |

70,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung's new LCD TVs give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever. |

In 2008, Samsung created its unique Touch of Color (ToC) design, which uses dual-injection molding to coat a translucent, colored surface to achieve an attractive crystalline appearance. The latest evolution of Samsung's ToC design begins with a deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as light ruby highlights. The intensity of the color subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further accentuates the TV's slim bezel. |

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.
