HD Ready
HDTV allows you to experience television like never before with the widest range of colours and the clearest images. High Definition contains four or five times as many pixels making the image much clearer than standard definition.
Wide Colour Enhancer
This exclusive technology delivers more brilliant colours, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system presents a wider colour gamut and four times as many colour gradations, showing you true colours; the fresh green of spring foliage, and the intense blue of the summer sky.
Movie Plus
Conventional LCD TVs are plagued by motion judder when showing fast moving action in movies and sporting events. The moving person or object looks shaky or blurred, like a series of still images, instead of a smooth moving picture. Samsung's exclusive Movie Plus completely eliminates this judder, presenting smooth action, no matter how fast it is going.
3 HDMI
Three High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centrepiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, satellite dish boxes into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on a HDTV. (23", 26" Models have 2 HDMI).
Game Mode
Samsung LCD TVs offer unparalleled picture quality that can be optimised for gaming at the touch of a button. It allows for H-sharpness and a faster response time in the games. In addition, its powerful surround sound effects produce a magical environ-ment of wonder that is filled with excitement and joy.
Fast Response Time
Exceptionally quick and sharp, with speed of up to 6ms (millisecond), users will be able to see the remarkable difference in the response time of Samsung LCD TVs. The LCD TV ensur-es that each image is just as good as the real thing.
Swivel Stand
The LCD TV's ingenious swivel stand affords consumers the ultimate flexibility in positioning the TV in their house. It allows for mobility and ergonomic comfort in your house.

46" Widescreen 1080P Full HD LCD TV
I've just purchased one of these TVs'. Once connected up to my SKY HD box viewing any of the HD channels the picture quality is awesome. I also have a DSM 330 HD media streamer, once again the picture is awesome in HD mode a full 1080P. Black is black etc with no ghosting. Another good feature is the ability to name your HDMI (3 of) and scart inputs (2 of). HDMI 1 = DVD HDMI 2 = satellite etc. lots of features come with this TV as standard and its easy to set-up. Sounds is also good although I don't use the internal sound as I use and external amp.
The only minor criticism of the TV I could possibly make is because of the high gloss surface you get quite a lot of reflection from the surround fascia and the screen itself.
That said however I've still given the TV a 5 out of 5 because the criticism is surpassed by the picture quality and additional features.
Great value and high quality for a 46"
I originally searched for a 40" screen but found that this 46" model on Amazon was £300 cheaper compared to the high street stores. I had heard much negative criticism about the HDNL delivery service but sure enough Amazons estimated delivery date was spot on (it took 3 working days).
Not many negative points to raise, the dust does show quickly on the black gloss veneer but a regular wipe will of course solve this. To get the best out of this TV then a HD subscription is needed. I viewed the intergrated Freeview for the first 3 days and was quite happy with the quality of picture. Since then i have had Sky Plus installed and the picture has improved again. I can only imagine how crisp a HD picture would look.
I also started off with a Philips DVD recorder connected via scart, again i was quite happy with the picture quality for DVD's. I then purchased a Philips upscalling DVD player and a HDMI lead. Being honest there isnt much improvement in viewing, this may be something to do with the TV being 1080p and the DVD player upscalling to 1080i.
The 20 degree swivel has come in very useful, espeically when needing access to the cables. The 15000:1 contrast really makes a difference, the blacks are so black its hard to tell its a TV picture.
By chance i also managed to link up my Apple iBook so now a 12" screen is being displayed on a 46" - this gives things like internet browsing a whole new dimension.
All in all i am very happy with this Samsung product, the addition of Sky + had a big part to play but the TV itself has many plus points. Sports and movies make brilliant viewing.
Fantastic HD Quality
Great TV
Plus points:
Picture quality is stunning in HD and on the decent quality channels such as BBC etc.
Thoroughly recommend a PS3 with this so you can watch Blu Ray and get the best out of it as it is awesome. Planet Earth on Blu Ray on this TV is something else, truely stunning.
Design is as always with Samsung, you either love it or hate it with the glass black finish. Personally, I have always been a huge Sony fan but this design beats theirs hands down.
Negatives:
Sound is very weak when purely out of the TV but I have a Sony DAV surround sound system and they work perfectly so it doesn't bother me, but it is a typical problem of LCD/plasma tvs.
The remote control is very slow to move between the different inputs, such as Scart, HDMI1, HDMI2 etc. Tiny niggle but it does frustrate.
Overall, delighted with the TV and would recommend to friends and family alike.
Excellent HDTV Choice
Well, I bought this television on Saturday and I must say how impressed I am with its overall high standard. A Smart, black and shiney veneer of quality perfectly compliments the crisp 1080p full high definition veiewing experience.
My playstation 3 connected with a good quality monster hdmi cable looks amazing. Especially with the complimentary Blue Ray Casino Royale DVD. Bog Standard 480p Sky tv looks as good as its going to get on a 46inch LCD. No shadowing, motion blurr or dead pixels so far.
I can honestly say, if you are Uming and Areing over buying a television (as i did) you wont be disapointed with this one.
+ Points
Stylish, Quality look.
Big 1080p Full High definition Screen
3 HDMI Slots
Future Proof Resolution and connectivity.
Comes with a screen clean cloth
- Points
The screen gives off some heat if its in a small room. But saves on electricity due to lower gas bills.
The Black finish gets slightly dusty after a week or two.
if you've got £1300 to spend. I would recommend it.
Good choice for HD
I bought this following reviews of some of the smaller models, but as my wall was big enough I opted for the 46" - and we were not disappointed.
SKY
At first sky appeared very bright and the colours unbalanced. Looking on some AV forums and 10 mins playing around in the menu and this was all sorted.
Sky HD is arriving in a few days and I can't wait!
DVD
An upscaling DVD came with my package - 1080i upscaling looks fantastic. HDMI hook up delivers HQ picture, but I send the audi feed to an amp via component. The first thing I did was to turn off the audio amp on the TV!
X BOX 360
I conected via composite 1080p. WOW. Nuff said.
Would have been 5*, but for the speakers and the fiddling in the menus to get the perfect picture. Worth it though.
Wall Mount.
Went to ARGOS and bought a generic wall mount for 40"+ TVs for £70(ish) and it works a treat. - Tilting the TV down a few degrees.
Looks:
Her indoors says it looks shiny!...and pretty!
