A High-Definition Powerhouse With True 1080p

The elegant LNT4061F LCD combines high style and high definition in equal measure. With true 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, it 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 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 10,000:1 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-degree 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 LNT4061F 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 LNT4061FX. 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 LNT4061F 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 LNT4061F 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 1920 x1080 pixel resolution, the LNT4061FX does double-duty as a high-resolution computer monitor -- perfect for presentations -- 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 LNT4061F even comes equipped with a USB 2.0 port for expanded audio/video use.

Because Sound Is Equally Important

The LNT4061F 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.

I chose this TV based on bang for the buck. While its SD picture quality is average, the HD images are fantastic. Xbox 360 games, DVDs, and HD channels are absolutely life-like on this TV. It has faux 5.1 surround sound that actually sounds pretty good for a 2-channel system.

I dont think I could have found a better 40 LCD TV especially at this price point.

Just purchased Samsung LNT 4061FX from Vanns. The TV exceeds my expectations. Color excellant, sound good, and ease of use is great. I would rate overall process a 4.8 on a scale of 5. I would recommend TV to anyone interested. Service from Vanns was very good from purchase to delivery.

Gorgeous in All the Right Ways!

Before I start gushing about this bad boys pros, let me cover its minor cons. Its remote control response is slow and its Standard Definition, SD, image quality is average.

I have yet to test this TV with a universal remote, so the issue may be resolvable if you have a universal remote, but the response time after pressing a button on the remote is pretty sluggish and can get annoying quickly. Luckily, I have a cable box, so I dont need the remote other than having to change input sources. If youre a person who needs to use the actual TVs remote, I suggest maybe looking into universal remotes.

The SD quality of the TV is pretty average. Colors are ok, but the size of the TV just stretches out the SD image so you start seeing a lot of flaws. However, having owned 3 HDTVs, Ive yet to see one that magically fixes SD signals. But, of what Ive experienced, this TVs SD image is average.

Ok, now we can get to the good stuff! The amount of inputs on this thing are phenomenal. 3 HDMI inputs 1 that allows for an DVIHDMI cable so you can hook up your computer, 2 component and 1 VGA. I didnt mention the composite, s-video and RF connections because I dont use them, but theyre there if you do! Im a huge gamer, so I have my PS3 connected via HDMI at 1080p, my Xbox 360 connected via VGA at 1080p, and my Nintendo Wii connected via component. They all look absolutely fantastic. HD-DVD movies look great, Blu-Ray movies look great and so do all the games. I couldnt have asked for a better TV set. Theres a setting on there called Game Mode, but I feel like it doesnt do much to enhance the image, so I keep it off.

As for regular TV, given all the inputs, I also have my cable box connected via HDMI, and the HD quality is just fantastic. And I still have one more HDMI input to spare!

The image quality of this bad boy is fabulous. And the options to tweak the images are abundant enough so that you can get the image to your liking. Given the sluggishness of the remote, setting everything up in terms of image settings, took forever, so hence my docking the Ease of Use score 1 point. For an LCD, the image out of the box is SUPER bright, 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio, so I actually had to turn down the brightness by putting the energy saving option to low. Then I had to adjust the contrasts, color and sharpness, and voila, perfect image!

The sound of the TV is also great. Ive read reviews of the previous model, and people would say the sound isnt very good, but they either fixed it for this model, or I got lucky. I think the sound is great, but I only sit 6 away from the source, so maybe the distance might matter to some. However, my experience has been completely positive in terms of sound.

The actual look of the TV, with its shiny black body, is just drop dead gorgeous. The clear plastic strip at the bottom of the TV, meant to deflect the sound towards the viewer, gives it a really nice aesthetic! People will want to touch your TV when they walk into your house. The swivel stand on it is also very nice. It makes it easy to access the back of your TV to fiddle with input wires and it also has a curve to it adding to the whole aesthetic as well. Most other stands always look so clunky and boxy to me. This whole TV is just beautiful from top to bottom. And although Im hard on the remote, at least it looks nice.

Theres not much more I can say about this TV. Its just fantastic. It has all the inputs youd ever need. You can feed almost any device into it including an MP3 player or camera via its USB slot! The image quality is just mind blowing. As a gamer, it just performs in every way I need it to perform. The sound worked extremely well for me. And lastly, the whole look and package just screams quality. Its flaws shouldnt even give you a hint of a second thought at purchasing this TV.

This ones a no brainer and has a great price. Take the plunge!

Great product for the price

I had been looking for a new flat screen tv for a couple of months and after much research decided on the Samsung LN-T4061FX. The tv was very easy to set up and has a great picture.

Happy customer

I am happy with the selection of this set. Until I had it for some time,3 months it has been a good TV. However the contrast ratio is lacking. I constantly observe the black and white under-digitizing. If I hade more information at the time I would have payed more attention to this feature. I am not sure if it was the 1080P or the 1080I feature that is the problem. The overall value of the TV is very good. The picture quality on HD chanels is ahsome. Only on regular cable stations do I observe the black and white contrast issues. Watching TV now is like a new experance. It,s like watching DVD over VHS. I am sure that I will buy another Samsung TV in the future. Especially when the upgrade the Contrast Ratio.
