Video Features
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive
and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals.
Native Resolution: The LCD television displays all inputs at
a resolution of 720p (1366 x 768). The television's HDMI and component video
inputs will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals.
HDMI: The HDMI input can be used to connect a DVD
player, Game console, HDTV or Satellite Set-top box with an HDMI output. The
HDMI input can also be used to connect a device with a DVI output (a
DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable is necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used,
separate audio cables will also be needed from the device to the "DVI In" RCA
stereo audio jacks. No audio cables are needed for an HDMI-equipped device. The
HDMI input can also be used to connect a PC to this TV. The HDMI jack will
accept 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.
Component Video: The Component Video jack will accept 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals.
8ms Response Time: One of the most important features for an
LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time
it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive,
(ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response
time. The television's very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any
blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes
Contrast Ratio: This TV has an
15,000:1 dynamic contrast
ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and
detail from both PC and TV images.
Screen Sizes: You can choose
one of the following picture sizes:
-
16:9: sets the picture to 16:9 wide mode
-
Zoom 1:
vertically enlarges the size of the picture and allows you to move the
enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote
-
Zoom 2: vertically enlarges the size of the picture more than Zoom 1 and allows you
to move the enlarged picture using the arrows on the remote
-
Wide Fit:
proportionally enlarges the picture to fit the entire screen without
changing the aspect ratio
-
4:3: sets the
picture to 4:3 normal mode with pillars on the left and right of the screen
-
Screen Fit: see the full image with no resizing when an HDMI input (720p/1080i/180p),
Component (1080i), or DTV (1080i) signal is used
Note: Screen Size settings can be stored for each external device
you have connected to an input of the TV.

automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound
output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the

received, or you can use the setup menu to adjust the screen quality and
position. No cables are supplied for connecting the TV to a PC.
PC Input: This input consists of a stereo mini-jack and an analog
RGB (D-Sub 15-pin) jack. This jack allows you to connect a personal computer
with a D-Sub 15-pin output. When using the RGB (D-Sub 15-pin) jack, you must use
the PC Audio 3.5mm input for your audio connection.
Service: USB port for installing future Samsung firmware upgrades via
a USB drive that has downloaded firmware information from Samsung's website.
Convenience Features

TV, DVI PC, DVI, IPTV, Blu-Ray, HD-DVD, and DMA.

direct line of sight.
Mounting Options
Detachable Stand: The TV comes with a table-top stand for
easy placement on top of a counter or table. While on the stand, the TV can be
tilted forward 2° and tilted backward 14° for the best viewing angle. With the
stand attached the TV weighs 10.6 lbs. The stand can be converted to a wall
mount using the supplied bracket, or detached if you wish to use a universal
wall mount bracket.
Integrated Wall Mount Bracket: A triangular metal bracket is
included with the TV to be used to wall-mount the TV. The TV's stand can be
tilted backward 90° and locked into place. The metal bracket attaches to the
wall with three screws (included, along with plastic wall anchors), and the TV
stand hooks into the bracket. Once mounted, the TV can be tilted between 0° and
10°.
VESA Mounting Bracket Standard: The TV also has 4 mounting
holes on the back for an aftermarket wall-mount bracket. The spacing of the
mounting holes is VESA 75 (75mm x 75mm), in accordance with the industry
standards set by the Video Electronics Standards Association. The mounting holes
accommodate M4 screws. Without the stand, the TV weighs 9.3 pounds.
