Amazon.com Product Description
For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 40-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4061FF is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4061F also features a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle texture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.

Compared to other Samsung Models
The primary differences between Samsung's LNT4061F and the LNT4065F LCD HDTV is in the contrast ratio and video processing power. The pricier LNT4065F offers a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to this model's 10,000:1 ratio, and also offers full 10bit video processing over this model's 8 bit system. The more expensive model should display finer gradients of shading making for more detail in darker scenes. The video processing difference should ensure smoother motion in fast moving scenes for the LNT4065F.

Video Processing
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

Audio Features
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

• Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
• TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
• The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Wide Color Enhancer Traditionally, blues and greens are weak colors, which are most affected by luminance. In bright scenes their color expression can appear bleak & weak. Hence with Wide Color Enhancer, experience the visualization of uncovered color domain such as spring sprout or summer sky blue. Anynet Plus As CEC means Consumer Electronic Control, CEC system intelligence carries device control functions between all connected HDMI (CEC enabled) A/V devices. When you connect A/V devices like BD Player, AV Receiver, Home theater with HDMI cable, you can control all of them with one-touch control and a single remote control. Wider Viewing Angles (S-PVA) Left side, right side or upside-down, whatever your LCD TV's location, SAMSUNG's new innovative S-PVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) solution allows you to see any display clearly due to the 178° wide-viewing angle. Horizontally and vertically, your LCD TV will always be well placed to enjoy the entertainment no matter what your angle of view is. 8ms Response Time The ultra-fast eight-millisecond response time means smooth, crisp fast-action video. Built-in DACS speaker Systems Samsung's Directionalized Acoustic Chamber System technology (DACS) is a revolutionary, computer-simulated technology that enhances low range sound performance, sharpens mid-to-high-range sound quality and improves overall sound clarity. This overcomes the acoustic limitations of traditional speakers by projecting sound evenly throughout the room. HDMI Connectivity Dual connectivity allows users to experience the latest in pure digital quality. With two HDMI connections, you can connect your DVD player and digital cable/satellite to experience the best picture possible. PC Compatible A Samsung LCD TV can function as a high-resolution PC monitor and a high-end TV without any sacrifice in picture quality. Outperforming PC monitors in brightness, response time, resolution, and of course, screen size, SAMSUNG lets you adapt to the expanding multi-media revolution.

10000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio While viewing either very bright or very dark scenes, it can be difficult to distinguish main images which blend into the background. Dynamic contrast dramatically mitigates this problem by adjusting the backlight intensity, providing up to a 10X improvement in contrast. 3 HDMI High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) enables simple and easy connection of digital devices with a single cable that transfers uncompressed audio and visual contents without data loss. Samsung LCD TV offers three HDMI for AV enthusiasts to connect with various appliances, such as a home theater, DVDP, Game console, Blu Ray, and Digital Camera. USB 2.0 The LN-T4061 provides USB 2.0 for your convenience in using many portable digital devices. Through USB connection, you can display photo/image files in your digital camera, USB memory stick or memory cards, and listen to mp3. Moreover, USB 2.0 support high speed of up to 480 Mbps which is 40 times faster than the speed of USB 1.1. CCFL(Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Certain SAMSUNG LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Hidden Bottom Speakers Besides pleasing your senses with high quality audio, you will save space with our hidden bottom speakers. Side AV Inputs Connect your LCD TV to the peripherals that add to your convenience. VESA Compatible With the VESA compatibility feature, Samsung has provided hole mounts on the back of the LCD TVs that are based on the VESA standards. This way you can set-up your TV on the wall the way you want it to look.

Customer Reviews

DO NOT BUY!! save money BUT waste YOUR time
i wish i would have read some of the more negative reviews before i purchased my real expensive paper weight, like other customers here i did my research, went to the stores, and finally decided to purchase the TV on april, a month later my HELL started! first the TV started to turn itself off and on, called samsung, they sent a repairman and he "fixed it" (changed the power source)...

3 weeks later AGAIN!! same issues TV would turn itself off and it would make clicking noises as if it was trying to turn itself on again...once again called samsung and by this time my patience was really wearing out, i just couldn't believe that this could be happening to me, my brand new TV stopped working during a pay per view fight that i had invited all my friends over to watch at my house...i politely asked samsung about exchanging the TV for another one obviously this one was a "lemon." They refused and told me that it was up to the technician to determine when it was "unrepairable" so i had no choice but to wait TWO WEEKS!! without TV and with my pride on the floor after i had to basically tell my friends im sorry and they ended up going to a bar to watch the fight. (i was too depressed to go)

2 weeks after the repairman came and "fixed" it everything seemed fine...THEN TAMPA BAY goes to the world series for the first time ever!
it had been quite a few months so i thought the problem was finally fixed, NOT SO MUCH!! :( in the middle of game 2 ONCE AGAIN! my TV fails me, this time the screen is totally black but now i can hear audio, called samsung (wooo hoo!) and now i really asked about changing this TV which is obviously broken, they gave me the same run around and were actually totally rude to me, telling me things such as "sorry we cant help you" isnt that what customer service is for? to help you?!!

Now they told me that this is the last time they will attempt to fix it, and that if it does break again that they will change it, i called the repair shop, (where i already know the guys on a first name basis) and the told me that this time they will be changing the WHOLE panel, basically the whole TV, but that after this there is nothing they could change. i been waiting a week now for the part to arrive so they can come and repair it and im still WITHOUT MY TV!!

Lesson Learned: NEVER again will i make a purchase on amazon for an electronic of such value, i would much rather go get one of the local stores where i know that even if the TV breaks i will deal with it personally and they will exchange it, and even though i saved $300 through amazon ITS NOT WORTH IT!!

stick to selling books and small articles please, that i will buy.

Samsung LNT4061F...AWESOME!
I have had this TV for about 8 months now and could not be happier. When I started looking around I wanted the best quality for the least amount of money. I looked at several stores (best buy, circuit city, etc) and not one could even come close to the awesome price that amazon has, not to mention the free shipping! At the time of purchase I paid $400 less on amazon than I would have in the store. The only complaint I have is the volume when watching HD vs non HD channels. It seems that I have to turn the volume up pretty high to get the same sound quality. The picture quality and color is the best. I can't wait to get the blu-ray home theater to go with it!

Good Purchase
Went with Consumer Reports recommendation and purchased this product. It is high quality, easy hook-up and a great buy. Shipping was fast. Would recommend this product!
