HDMI (High Defintion Multimedia Interface)

When matched with a compatible component, this single interconnecting cable combines: Multi-channel audio, uncompressed digital video, intercommunication between devices and simple control protocols. This single cable connection ensures that all signals remain in their pure digital form and secure by use of High Definition Copy Protection (HDCP) regardless of signal output resolution. The LNS3251D features two HDMI connections.

With all of its connections, this HDTV gives you a wide variety of entertainment options. Through its PC connection, the LNS3251D LCD can function as a high-resolution PC monitor and a high-end TV without any sacrifice in picture quality. Outperforming PC monitors in brightness, response time, resolution, and of course, screen size, Samsung lets you adapt to the expanding multi-media revolution. You can easily connect your favorite compatible MP3 player to your Samsung LCD television and control your music right from your TV. Easy controls and interface allow you to plug n' play your music while having a special event or just enjoying music in your living room. In addition to the HDMI and PC connections, you get a component video input (480i/480p/720p/1080i), S-Video and composite video inputs, an RS232C connection, and a coaxial antenna input.
We Have You Virtually Surrounded
Samsung LCD TVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Even when viewing regular broadcasts, the LNS3251D's virtual surround sound makes you feel as if the theater has been brought to your living room. SRS TruSurround XT is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through the two-speaker internal playback system.
High Contrast, Wide Angles
While viewing either very bright or very dark scenes, it can be difficult to distinguish main images which blend into the background. Dynamic Contrast dramatically mitigates this problem by adjusting the backlight intensity, providing up to a 4x improvement in contrast. Left side, right side or upside-down, whatever your LCD TV's location, Samsung's solution allows you to see any display clearly due to the 178-degree wide-viewing angle. Horizontally and vertically, your LCD TV will always be well placed to enjoy the entertainment no matter what your angle of view is.
Enhanced Game Mode
The new game mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response and enhances the sounds of your game. Picture and sound quality optimized for the special needs of gaming systems at the touch of a button. This new Game Mode has been tested and proven by Microsoft engineers that know how games should appear on television.
Getting A Great Picture
The LNS3251D's 1366 x 768 pixel resolution LCD screen is HD-grade, with a built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio/video sources. Samsung's DNIe (Digital Natural Image engine) dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail and white balance while reducing noise. A 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes over time, to reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. Progressive scan technology eliminates the flicker that you see on traditional, interlaced scanning TVs, while an 8ms response time minimizes the blurring of moving video.
Other Useful Features
The LNS3251D not only looks and sounds great, it's also a pleasure to use. A built-in digital tuner (ATSC) means you don't need a set top box. The set's V-Chip system allows the blocking of rated TV and movie programs determined by a parent to contain objectionable content. Auto channel search helps you find those favorites, and picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources. There's a variable sleep timer to turn the TV off in varying time intervals, while an auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing. Finally, the multi-lingual on-screen display offers direction in English, Spanish, or French.
