HDTV TELEVISIONS

One of the leading forces in high definition television production is Samsung. Samsung has had to compete with large electronics manufacturers who have had a television market presence for years, like Sony, Pioneer, Toshiba and Panasonic. They have finally come to the place where their products in many cases are equally as good, if not even superior to their competitors.

Samsung makes several lines of televisions, all with their own unique line of model numbers. For those who are unfamiliar with high definition televisions, they have the model 600 series that incorporates excellent high definition and ease of use.

The main difference between the sets within the 600 series is the screen size. The quality and features of the series 600 HDTVs are the same, the only difference is screensize.

The Samsung LN46A650 is the 46 inch screensize model in the 600 series. The reason it is such a good television is the features and image quality that you get for the price that you pay.

The Samsung 46 LCD HDTV is the perfect HDTV for most rooms as it allows viewing from almost any angle and the image quality is magnificent.
Here is a list of features that we will also explain below:

• Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz image interpolation technology
• Ultra clear LCD panel (1920 x 1080 pixels)
• 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
• 120 Hz refresh rate
• Touch of Color frame

The process that Samsung uses to create the shell of the television is called a Touch of Color. The Touch of Color manufacturing process is inspired by the automotive industry. It utilizes Samsung’s unique transparent and opaque color molding process and creates a clean, smooth black finish with just a hint of translucent color red and visually stunning and attractive in almost every type of space.

The Ultra clear LCD panel they use is partly responsible for producing the incredibly clear and vibrant picture quality. What this refers to is that Samsung has replaced the light diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel that has a clear anti-glare sheild. It reduces the reflection of external light and creates an image clarity that highlights black and darkened areas, creates richer, truer colors and a brighter overall picture. The blacks don’t appear grayish. This panel allows for perfect viewing at a large number of positions in the room, not simply direct viewing.

They also have what they call Wide Color Enhancer that enhances the color spectrum and delivers truer colors, so that greens, blues and reds do not appear washed out or faded, but vibrant and realistic.

What they call Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz image interpolation actually doubles the frame display rate from 60 to 120 frames a second and doesn’t repeat the same image to make more frames. It calculates what the middle frame would be between two frames and inserts that frame in between the two successive frames. What this means for the viewer is that fast action scenes like sports or car racing appears in high definition without looking blurry or smudged.

50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio refers to the increase in the sets capability of creating realistic contrast and brightness levels. It aids in the picture quality by creating whiter whites, blacker blacks and almost an infinite subtlety of gradations in between.

120 Hz refers to the number of frames that refresh per second. The higher the number, the smoother and more defined the movement becomes.
Also important to know is the pixel response time rate. For the Samsung LN46A650 HDTV, the pixel response rate is a blazing fast 4 milliseconds. (Traditional HDTVs are usually around 8 millisecond response time).

Finally, they have made the television with a viewing angle of 178 degrees. That means that you can view the set with perfect picture clarity while standing up, off to the side and directly in front. You do not lose any picture quality when viewing at an awkward angle.
