A High-Definition Powerhouse

The elegant LN-T3253HX LCD combines high style and high definition in equal measure. Perfect for the bedroom, office, or den, its widescreen 1366 x 768 pixel resolution creates a brilliantly sharp, detailed picture. Samsung's ultra-fast switching technology and 8-millisecond response time decrease blurring, so even high-speed sports remain crisp and easy on the eyes. Plus, progressive scan technology eliminates the flicker that you see on traditional, interlaced scanning TVs. And it's all wrapped up in the gorgeous, piano-black frame.

Dynamic Contrast And Wide Angles Equal A Better Viewing Experience

We've all experienced the black-out effect: the movie scene changes from a bright outdoor scene to a dim indoor scene and we're left in the dark. To correct this, Samsung utilizes an incredible 8000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio to measure the whitest whites and the blackest blacks to get the most detail with the optimal level of contrast. Plus, Dynamic Contrast Ratio automatically adjusts the backlight intensity, which drastically increases both the contrast and your viewing pleasure. The genius flat panel design provides 178° viewing angles. So wherever you're sitting—left side, right side, or upside-down—you won't miss out on any of the action.

Add Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) For The Ultimate In Convenience

The LN-T4053HX is HDMI-CEC ready. CEC allows you to link HDMI-connected equipment in a whole new way. When CEC is enabled, it allows the remote control for one device to communicate with, and control, another device. For example, you turn on your television and press the DVD button. The TV sends an "on" command to the DVD player through the HDMI cable and then automatically switches the TV to the proper input for the DVD. Then, you press "play" on that same remote and the DVD begins to play. Magic? No, just really smart technology. And best of all, it puts an end to using multiple remote controls, or having to buy an expensive, universal remote.

Get The Best Signal Possible With The HDMI Input

For 2007, Samsung has added three HDMI inputs to the LN-T3253HX. HDMI is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all high definition formats including 720p and 1080i. An all-digital, uncompressed signal translates into the highest quality video and audio, seen and heard, direct from the source. Even if you have components that don't provide a high definition signal, a built-in image scaler handles inputs from a variety of digital and analog sources. This means the LN-T3253HX will scale a standard definition picture up to high definition.

And Keep The Standard Input Options

Although we're ushering in a new high-definition, HDMI era, most of us are still clinging to at least one "perfectly good" component, whether it be an older DVD player or even older VCR. Fear not (at least for now). The LN-T3253HX includes two S-video inputs, two component video inputs, and two A/V inputs.

Performs As A Computer Monitor Too

High definition is altering how the world does business. Thanks to a special PC input and the high definition 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, the LN-T3253HX does double-duty as a high-resolution computer monitor without any sacrifice in picture quality. Whether you work in graphic design or public relations, Samsung lets you adapt to the expanding multi-media revolution. The LN-T3253HX even comes equipped with a USB 2.0 port for expanded audio/video use.

Because Sound Is Equally Important

The LN-T3253HX not only looks good, it sounds great thanks to the two 10-Watt bottom-mounted speakers and SRS TruSurround XT surround sound. To make watching television even more enjoyable, the auto volume leveler keeps audio volume (and your sanity) consistent during channel changing. There's even a stereo headphone jack so you can plug in your headphones and enjoy The Dukes of Hazzard without distraction—or distracting.

Intelligent Controls

Using their engineering smarts, Samsung reinvented the on-frame controls and improved the appearance, all in one fell swoop. The new and improved controls are touch sensitive—that means no buttons (and no crevices to clean). The panel is smooth and sleek all the way around, but you still have full control over source inputs, menu functions, channel, and volume levels.
