April’s Hottest 40-inch LCD HDTV At Amazon
High-definition television will be seen in 44 million homes around the world by the end of 2008, a research firm says, with HD homes rising to nearly 180 million by 2012.
According to a new forecast from London-based Informa Telecoms & Media, about 4% of worldwide households will actively watch HD programming by the end of this year, up from 2% at the end of 2007. Let’s have a look at the best-seller of 40-inch LCD HDTV at Amazon.
On April 10, the answer is…Samsung’s 40-inch 1080p LCD HDTV, available today for $1,139 — 34 percent off the suggested list price. The flat-panel set, model LNT406IF, has a contrast ratio of 10,000 to 1, 3 HDMI inputs, a swivel stand, a 1920 x 1080 picture resolution and weighs just 38.6 pounds, ideal for mounting onto a wall.
The high-def set is ranked #32 today in Amazon’s rankings of best selling electronics products and it has a customer rating of 4.5 stars based on 198 reviews.
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.
