About the Samsung UN28H4000
New screen size, same crisp picture
New screen size, same crisp picture
If you don't quite have the space for a 32" TV, the next best option may be Samsung's 28" UN28H4000. Its advanced LED backlight delivers superior picture contrast, and you'll be impressed by this model's wide, accurate color palette. The picture is big enough to hold your attention, but the slim panel depth and skinny bezel minimize its physical presence. This TV is incredibly energy-efficient, too.
Inputs for your favorite sources
The UN28H4000 provides two HDMI inputs and a component video input for connecting your high-definition gear. You'll also find a USB input for plugging in a camera or thumb drive — it's like having an oversized digital photo frame whenever you need it.

Video Features
LED Edge-Lighting: Samsung's LED Edge-Lighting technology allows for a high dynamic contrast ratio and ultra-sharp blacks by allowing multiple LEDs to turn on an off automatically based on the image. LED Edge-Lighting also provides more natural color representation and deep reds and greens, because Samsung uses white LEDs that produce 105% of the broadcast color gamut. The television's white LEDs are arranged along the left and right edges of the screen and a proprietary light guide is used to focus its luminance inwards towards the middle of the screen for a more uniform brightness. Overall, this LED Backlight system produces contrast with stronger blacks and whites, and greater subtlety of every gradation in between.
Clear Motion Rate 120: Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well the LED-LCD TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate (60Hz), image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus + Motion Lighting: With Wide Color Enhancer Plus, you'll witness a wider spectrum of colors on the TV screen, just like the director intended. You'll enjoy enriched colors while watching your favorite movies, and shows, even if it's older, non-HD content. The TV automatically adjust the brightness of the screen in response to the brightness of the room. In bright light, the screen brightens. In dim light, the screen dims.
720p Resolution: The LED-LCD television displays all inputs at a resolution of 720p (1366 x 768 ). The television's HDMI and component video inputs will accept 1080p (24/60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals.

This is a great TV! We are in an RV and had a smaller set but we had room for this size and what a difference this larger one makes. The only disappointment so far is that the color could be better at times. The people at Crutchfield made the transaction very pleasant and delivery was prompt.
