Features

DLP Projection System: DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology by Texas Instruments is the only display solution that enables projection systems to create a purely digital connection between a digital video or graphic source and the screen in front of you. While all other technologies are analog and compromise some image quality in translation, DLP projection unleashes the full potential of high-quality video content.

Cinema Smooth 1080p Gen 6 Light Engine: Samsung's 6th generation Digital Light Processing engine uses Texas Instruments' latest generation 0.85" microdisplay. The faster switching speeds are double the previous generations and approximately 1000 times faster than competing microdisplay technologies. The combination of Samsung's optics, advanced video processing and Samsung's 2.6", seven-segment color wheel (spinning at 10,800 rpm) results in a stunningly clear picture with outstanding color, an extended contrast ratio of up to 10,000:1 and a crisp, bright picture that's closer to film.

HD Ultra-Fine Pitch Screen: Samsung's HD Ultra-Fine Pitch Screen (0.155mm) further improves picture clarity especially when viewing higher definition video sources like DVD and HDTV. Text and fine details will also appear sharper.

Automatic Digital Format Conversion System: The Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV formats, as well as 480p and 480i SDTV formats. The system will accept any DTV, Analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a 16:9 widescreen (1920 x 1080) resolution) progressive display for flicker-free images.

Cinema Smooth Film Mode: Samsung's 3:2 pulldown correction circuitry senses motion found in unconverted 480i DVD video based on 24 fps film productions. This is especially important when converting to a progressive video image, the result is an elimination of visible motion artifacts. Note: This feature is by-passed on 480p, 720p and 1080i inputs.

Digital Natural Image Engine (DNIe): Samsung's DNIe makes input signals sharper, clearer, and more lifelike. It's advanced image processors and six-times density enhancer help to create true-to-life colors and high contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts. DNIe also includes a motion optimizer, contrast enhancer, detail enhancer, color optimizer, and "My Color Control."

MCC (My Color Control) Mode: The MCC Mode lets you select predefined settings that affect the skin, sky, and grass tones in a picture without affecting other colors on the screen. You can choose one of the following predefined settings: Standard, Red, Blue, Green, Pink, Yellow or Custom. The Custom setting allows you to individually set and store color saturation values between 0 and 50 for Red, Blue, Green, Pink, and Yellow. If desired, you can instantly reset the colors to the factory default.

Picture Modes: You can choose one of the following picture modes:

• Standard: resets the standard factory settings
• Dynamic: for viewing the TV during the day, or when there is bright light in the room
• Cinema: for viewing the TV in low light, or when playing video games
• Custom: allows you to adjust and store the following settings: contrast, brightness, sharpness, color and tint

Color Weakness Enhancement: The Color Weakness Enhancement feature adjusts the Red, Blue, or Green color to enhance the picture according to the user's particular color weakness.

Digital Signal Strength Meter: The digital signal strength meter can be used to help you find the antenna position that delivers the highest HDTV digital signal strength.

Analog Channel Fine Tuning: The fine tuning feature allows you to manually adjust analog channels for optimal reception. A separate fine tuning setting may be put into the TV's memory for each analog channel.

Low Noise Amplifier (LNA): When the TV's antenna setting is on "Air", instead of "Cable", sometimes reception can be improved by boosting the incoming signal using the LNA function. A separate LNA setting may be put into the TV's memory for each channel.

Picture Sizes: You can choose one of the following picture sizes:

• 16:9: sets the picture to 16:9 wide mode

• Panorama: use this mode for the wide aspect ratio of a panoramic picture

• Zoom 1: magnifies the size of the picture and allows you to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote

• Zoom 2: magnifies the size of the picture more than Zoom 1 and allows you to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote

• 4:3: sets the picture to 4:3 normal mode

2-Tuner Picture-in-Picture: Two tuners eliminate the need for a second video source for picture-in-picture. You can select two analog sources or one analog and one digital source (the digital source cannot be viewed in the PIP window). You can select standard PIP operation (with a PIP frame size of Large or Small), or one of two split-screen modes. During standard PIP operation, the PIP frame can be moved to any corner on the screen. In both modes, you can alternate sound between the main program and the secondary program. Using the Swap function, you can instantly switch the main program with the secondary program, except when the main picture is a digital broadcast.

Auto Volume: Auto volume automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel by lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or by raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low.

Sound Settings: You can choose from the following sound settings:

• Standard: resets the standard factory settings

• Music: for watching music videos and concerts

• Movie: for watching movies

• Speech: for watching a show that is mostly dialogue

• Custom: allows you to adjust the 5-band EQ, which includes the following frequencies: 100 Hz, 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, and 10 kHz

• SRS TruSurround XT: 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 the two speaker internal playback system. It is fully compatible with all multi-channel formats.

Sleep Timer: The sleep timer switches the television off after a specified amount of time. The sleep timer can be set to 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, or 180 minutes.

On/Off Timer: The On/Off timer allows you to program the television to turn itself on and off by selecting a specific on time and a specific off time. You can also choose the "On Timer Channel" and "On Timer Volume".

PC Display: The PC input allows you to connect a personal computer with a D-Sub 15-pin output, allowing you to use the TV as a high-resolution computer monitor. In PC mode, you can adjust the following picture quality settings: Coarse and Fine, both of which allow you to remove picture noise. In addition, you can choose one of the following screen sizes:

• Wide TV: scales the picture to the size of the TV screen regardless of the aspect ratio of the input source

• Wide PC: scales the picture to 92% of the screen regardless of the aspect ratio of the input source

• Expand: scales the picture to the aspect ratio of the input source

• Normal: displays the picture as it is without changing the aspect ratio of input source
