LED Technology:
Samsung's LED technology allows for an high dynamic contrast ratio of
5,000,000:1, and ultra-sharp blacks by allowing
multiple LEDs to turn on an off automatically based on the image. The LED
backlight 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.
Ultra Clear Panel: With Samsung's Ultra Clear Panel colors
are more vibrant, brighter, and clearer. This ultra clear panel technology also
enhances contrast and reduces reflection so you can enjoy an overall outstanding
viewing experience.
HyperReal Engine: The Samsung LCD TV utilizes Samsung's
HyperReal Engine picture enhancing technology for optimum color and contrast.
Wide Color Enhancer Plus: The Samsung LED TV features Wide
Color Enhancer Plus to provide more natural, realistic colors. The challenge of
any TV screen is to recreate reality through color and light. Samsung met this
challenge with its Wide Color Enhancer Plus feature. After analyzing each pixel,
it stretches them to their 3-dimensional limit; resulting in full and lifelike
colors.
Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio: This LED TV has a 5,000,000:1
dynamic contrast ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for
superior picture and detail from both PC and TV images.
Auto 120Hz Motion Plus: Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology
virtually eliminates any motion blur and creates smooth transitions between
frames. Auto Motion Plus calculates the image between frames and inserts it,
creating a non-repetitive transition from one to the next. The result is a
clearer picture than ever before. You can select from five Auto Motion Plus 120Hz
settings
- Clear: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to minimum.
- Standard: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to medium.
- Smooth: Sets Auto Motion Plus 120Hz to maximum.

Audio In" 3.5mm stereo audio jack. 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 1080p (60/24Hz),1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.
