Samsung 46" black 1080p LED LCD HDTV

UN-46B8500 (Black)

Finally, a TV that combines performance, advanced connectivity, and an attractive, eco-friendly design. The Samsung UN-46B8500 is the solution for your home theater needs. With 240Hz motion blur reduction technology and an astounding 7,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast ratio, the picture is more lifelike than ever. Samsung Internet@TV has a variety of popular web TV widgets to keep you informed and entertained. And LED backlighting makes for deeper blacks and an ENERGY STAR compliant certification.

LED with local dimming leads the way

Samsung's new UN46B8500 LCD features LED lighting with local dimming. This is a huge improvement over standard LCD and plasma televisions, which use fluorescent or halogen-based backlighting technology. Innovate LED local dimming technology selectively turns blocks of LEDs off to render perfectly true blacks while others are left on to produce more light. The deeper the black level on a television, the more realistic and vibrant the picture will be. As compared to edge-lit LED TV's, local dimming is an even more precise way to generate the appropriate colors and black levels throughout the entire TV, so the picture is more uniform. Local dimming also eliminates distracting fluctuations in color that you might see with other technology. A more consistent picture is easier to watch. Additionally, features like Wide Color Enhancer Pro analyzes each pixel, stretching them to their 3-dimensional limit to deliver advanced processing that ensures every image is as vibrant and colorful on screen as it was when it was filmed. Auto Motion Plus 240Hz delivers smooth motion and crisp picture quality, making every scene crystal clear — even in high-paced chase scenes.

TV or internet? How about both!

Televisions used to be just for picking up signals broadcast over the air, through cable, or via satellite. You were limited in your selections to what the networks decided to run. But the times, they are a-changing, and the lines between internet and TV are increasingly blurred. Samsung's UN46B8500 features Medi@2.0, which is a collection of ways to surf the net and enjoy its video (and other) content from the comfort of your easy chair. First, Internet@TV™. This feature allows you to connect to web widgets from Yahoo!, Flickr™, YouTube™, Usa Today®, eBay®, Showtime Networks®, and other new services on your Samsung via the remote. DLNA Networking capabilities let you sync up your entire household with DLNA technology. Connect and share your PC audio and video files through your remote.

Playing the numbers game — Auto Motion Plus 240Hz™

The Samsung LED 8500 series is fully equipped with the newest video technology to make your viewing experience near perfect. The biggest news in TVs this year is 240Hz processing. Proven to be one of the most effective and sophisticated anti-blur tools, you're in for a treat. The system analyzes the motion of specific on-screen objects as well as overall movement in each scene, adjusting the amount of enhancement to create smooth, sharp pictures. For 60Hz (60i) video signals, Auto Motion Plus 240Hz adds three newly created frames that are inserted between the original 60 frames. That totals out to 240 frames per second (60 x 4) or quadruple the frame rate over 60Hz. The benefits are clearer, sharper images in fast action sports and video games.

Eco-friendly, ENERGY STAR® 3.0 certified

All of Samsung's LED TVs contribute to the company's eco-friendly vision, consuming 40% less power than standard CCFL-backlit LCD TVs, far below the stringent ENERGY STAR version 3.0 requirements. ENERGY STAR's Version 3.0 institutes standards for "power on" certifications, which involve automatic light dimmers and a more responsive screen that adjusts to the brightness in the room. As a result, ENERGY STAR 3.0 certified HDTVS consume significantly less energy than their predecessors, saving you more money over time by virtue of the more efficient default settings. The TVs also use low electricity and contain no mercury or lead, while the neck and stand are made of eco-friendly materials. Furthermore, the slim lightweight design reduces packaging materials and transportation energies.
