Video Features
LED Technology: Samsung's LED technology allows for an
amazing 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 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.
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 LED television displays all inputs at
a resolution of 1080p (1920 x 1080). The television's HDMI and component video
inputs will accept 1080p, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i video signals.
4 HDMI Inputs: The four rear-panel HDMI inputs can be used to connect a DVD
player, Game console, HDTV or Satellite Set-top box with an HDMI output. The
HDMI 1 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,
a separate audio cable will also be needed from the device to TVs PC audio input. 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, 1080i, 720p, 480p and 480i signals.
Component Video: The rear-panel Component Video jack will accept 1080p,
1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. The component video inputs can also
be used as a composite video input.
Mega Contrast Ratio: This TV has an 5,000,000:1 dynamic contrast
ratio, giving you brilliant brightness and contrast for superior picture and
detail from both PC and TV images.
Wide Color Enhancer Pro: The challenge of any TV screen is to recreate
reality through color and light. Samsung met this challenge with its Wide Color
Enhancer Pro feature. After analyzing each pixel, it stretches them to their
3-dimensional limit; giving you full, lifelike colors.
2ms 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 2ms response time virtually eliminates any
blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes
Auto Motion Plus 240Hz: Auto Motion Plus 240Hz 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 5 Auto Motion Plus 240Hz
settings
- Clear: Sets Auto Motion Plus 240Hz to minimum.
- Standard: Sets Auto Motion Plus 240Hz to medium.
- Smooth: Sets Auto Motion Plus 240Hz to maximum.
