The Samsung LN46A500 lets you experience the beauty of high-definition at a price that's almost unheard of for a 46-inch HDTV. And 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.
Contrast affects picture quality as much as screen resolution, and the LN46A500 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 LN46A500 gives you two HD-capable component video inputs and two HDMI inputs for connecting a Blu-ray player, a high-def cable or satellite box, and a video game console. 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.
