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.

Customer Review:
Great TV - superb intro to HD. The shipping service I received in Boston was dreadful. They said they would come Fri, messed up and said they would come Sat. Was assured they would come before noon, and when I called at noon got a rude a prolonged explanation that I should never have been told that! A complaint to Amazon resulted in me being credited $40… lesson there for anyone else who has a problem. Anyway, I’m not going to judge a TV based on a couple of moronic delivery boys, so still 5-stars from me! I was considering the more expensive versions of this TV (the 65F perhaps) but really couldn’t understand or justify the extra expense. I was also interested in the 46″ version, but again, about a 35% increase in cost just didn’t seem quite worth it.

This TV is PLENTY big enough for me and looks absolutely superb. I’ve had a little 19″ HD TV until now, and couldn’t entirely understand what the HD fuss was about. This TV has shown me. I watched some golf and the superbowl over the weekend - I am NOT a sports fan, but just couldn’t stop watching the superb picture! Just incredible. The golf practically looked 3D!! If you’re looking for a decent sized HD TV for a little over a thousand bucks, look no further. No problems with the remote. One minor quibble would be that it doesn’t auto adjust in the picture size the way I would like - this is one thing my 19″ Philips TV does better. But I’m nitpicking, since I can easily manually change it.

Customer Review:
Great TV… Works great with Antenna… good value Amazon order and deliver gets 5 stars! shipped on Monday, arrived on Wednesday Morning (a week early), delivered on Thursday by Eagle, opened box, setup, hauled away trash. Hooked up roof antenna cable and turned set on, searched for channels and here in Phoenix, found about 50 channels, 30+ digital, and all major networks plus some others HD… Awesome and has ruined us so need to order another one for the bedroom.. roof antenna is 20 year old original, so was pleasantly surprised to see it pick up digital and awesome HD without a new purchase needed. Great introduction to digital and HD… don’t need cable or Dish.. Superbowl was AWESOME to watch on this TV… my wife was even impressed… Easy to use and setup… instructions good… loaded a memory stick with family photos and plugged into USB slot, and selected wiselink, listened to MP3 music while running a slide show of grandkid photos… outstanding clarity.. now plan to load all our photos and review them this way.. Bought the cheap ($49) Magnavox upconverter from Sam’s Club with HDMI cable and tried a couple of movies… one was slightly better, and another one was awesome… near HD quality so anxious to go back through my DVDs.. my netflix movies work with no problem… the newer movies seem to look better being upconverted…. Net here is that I am very satisfied with Amazon and this TV.. PIP is not overly useful as some have mentioned.. the sound is adequate for us old folks, but suspect I will be looking at a surround sound system next… But sound is a great improvement over our previous Sharp analog TV… A great introduction to digital and Hd!!
