Samsung's affordable LN40A500 puts the beauty of high-definition within the reach of even more budgets. With its "Full HD" 1080p resolution screen, you'll see all the details in every high-definition TV show, whether you're watching cable, satellite, or over-the-air broadcasts. That's because most high-def shows are broadcast in 1080i, so a 1080p set like this one is a pixel-perfect match. Its 40" screen size fits well in many medium-sized living rooms, yet is compact enough to fit many bedrooms and dens.
Contrast affects picture quality as much as screen resolution, and the LN40A500 features a high contrast ratio for rich colors, excellent shadow detail, and deep black levels. Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer optimizes hues, for vibrant colors that pop off the screen without looking excessive or unnatural.
The LN40A500 gives you two HD-capable component video inputs and two HDMI inputs for connecting high-def cable boxes, satellite receivers, and video game consoles. You can also use one of the component video inputs as a standard composite A/V input to connect a non-HD source like a VCR or camcorder. And the HDMI connections include "CEC" control capability, which lets you operate other compatible HDMI-equipped Samsung components using only the TV's remote.
