40" Series 4 720p LCD HDTV

Keep the high definition times coming with this 40" LCD by Samsung. The LN-40A450 offers 720p resolution with 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and fast 8ms response time for a bright, clear picture you'll love in your living room. A variety of inputs, including HDMI, make the LN-40A450 flexible for whatever kind of A/V setup you're comfortable with.

Versatile entertainment

It's hard to make one black rectangle look different than all the other black rectangles out there, but Samsung did it with the elegant Series 4 LN40A450 LCD HDTV. It combines high style and high definition in equal measure. Its widescreen 720p pixel resolution creates a sharp, detailed picture, perfect for viewing high definition programming. Samsung's fast switching technology and 6-millisecond response time decrease blurring, so even high-speed sports remain crisp and easy on the eyes. High contrast ratio (10,000:1) and 450nit brightness mean the colors will be richer and more realistic. And all that technology is packed into a slender, glossy black frame that will appeal to the minimalist in you. The bottom speakers are hidden, keeping the sleek, clean look that will fit into almost any surroundings.

Connecting you to the next level

The world is shifting into high definition gear, and the LN40A450 is ready for the challenge. Three HDMI inputs mean you can connect your Blu-ray player, your HD gaming console, or your HD cable or satellite directly to your television. And all that beautiful high definition content will be sent to your TV over a single cable. The LN40A450 also comes with integrated digital tuners (ATSC and QAM). An ATSC tuner will allow you to pick up over-the-air signals broadcast digitally, and a QAM tuner picks up unencrypted digital cable signals. The more access you have to digital broadcasting, the more opportunity you have to view HD programming, which is when your TV will really shine.

Keeping old connections

Even though everyone seems to be turning all high definition on you, you don't have to leave behind your collection of DVDs and your trusty DVD player. You could even bring the VCR along if you wanted. The LN40A450 still has the kinds of connections that will let you make use of your old favorites. Component, S-video, and composite inputs mean you'll be enjoying your entertainment classics for years to come.

Smart user interface

Maybe it's expecting a lot to label something a "Smart User Interface." Is Samsung referring to the user as smart or labeling the whole user interface as smart? Some days, at least at my house, I'm afraid the TV would be a little disappointed in me. But you'd be hard pressed to let down the LN40A450. Its smart user interface takes all the pressure off you. With your trusty remote, you can pull up all sorts of menu options right on your screen and easily navigate through them. Adjust the color or adjust the picture settings (the entertainment mode allows customized picture settings for different content like sports, movies, and gaming). You won't have to strain your brain to make it happen.
