Over the past few years Samsung has become one of the world's premier LCD TV makers. One look at the state-of-the-art LN40A650 and you'll understand why. This HDTV's high-contrast screen delivers a vibrant picture, and its "Full HD" 1080p resolution lets you see every bit of detail in every type of high-definition signal. Red accents along the top and bottom of the gloss black bezel give this model a one-of-a-kind look that stands out from the crowd of flat-panel sets.
120Hz refresh rate for blur-free motion
Most 1080p TVs will wow you with their detail on still or slow-moving images, but how about when the on-screen action picks up the pace? That's when you'll really appreciate the LN40A650's advanced 120Hz video technology. Doubling the conventional LCD frame rate ensures smooth, smear-free motion, giving images a more solid, three-dimensional look. If your viewing includes fast-action sports
or video games, put this TV on your short list.
A wealth of viewing options
For compatibility with the latest HD sources, this TV's four HDMI inputs accept 1080p video — even 1080p/24, the purest format for film-based video. High-definition Blu-ray Disc™ players can output 1080p/24, for an exceptionally smooth, filmlike image. Cable TV subscribers can take advantage of the built-in "QAM" tuner to enjoy unscrambled digital cable channels without a set-top box taking up space in their component racks. An Ethernet port lets you use your broadband Internet connection to view news, weather, and stock market reports using Samsung's InfoLink service.
New HDMI connections enhance remote control operation
Home theater fans love HDMI connections for their pristine picture clarity and single-cable simplicity. Here's more good news — the LN40A650's Anynet+ HDMI connections let you control other compatible HDMI-connected components using only the TV's remote. That's a huge plus if you keep your components out of sight in a cabinet or closet. You have total control without resorting to complicated remote booster systems.
