Samsung LN40A650A 40" 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV
Samsung has raised the bar yet again with its 650 Series LCD HDTVs just released in early 2008.
The model we're focusing on here is the 40" LN40A650A, which packs a number of advancements into a sleek design that could add an element of flair to your home theatre.
These new models feature Samsung's unique "Touch of Color" design which adds a subtle red tone (other colors may be released throughout the year) around the frame. Also known as "Transparent and Opaque Color" (TOC) this type of design element is a first for LCD consumer sets, and while it's subject to an individual's taste, it's an attractive feature likely to please more potential buyers than it turns off.
But where the improvements really matter are the guts inside the LN40A650A. The models in the new series register an impressive 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, which doubles the spec from 2007 models.
Plus, the LN40A650A and others in the 650 series employ new high-speed liquid crystal technology to cut the pixel response time from last year's 8ms to a lightning-fast 4ms.
This high-response speed, coupled with 120hz video processing, promises to reduce motion blur and provide a crisp, smooth picture even in the fastest-moving of action scenes.
Other important specs in the LN40A650A:
* The LN40A650A features a built-in Ethernet connection which enables it to access customizable RSS feeds of news, weather, sports and more.
* 4 HDMI 1.3 ports, which is an increase from 3 on 2007 models.
* Special modes such as Game and Sports modes enhance display performance based on video content (ideal for next-generation gaming consoles like Xbox 360 and Playstation 3).
* The LN40A650A is compatible with Samsung's Home Digital Media Adapter, enabling it to play back and navigate the Internet and stored multimedia
