Description:

Early Adopters Pick: May 2003 Samsung's LTN406W is the world's largest LCD TV.

Samsung's 40-inch high-resolution widescreen LCD television is not only a gigantic LCD screen TV, it's also the answer to all your home entertainment needs, from its PC, DVD, and DTV inputs to its built-in NTSC tuner and integrated stereo speakers with 10 watts power each. At less than three inches deep, the set is nothing if not easy to place, its slim profile lending its massive screen width to even small rooms.

The LTN406W is a TFT active-matrix HDTV monitor with 1,280 x 768 resolution. TFT (Thin Film Technology) gives every pixel its own identity, so they can rapidly switch shades while maintaining some of the best brightness and contrast levels available. Image quality is enhanced by a 3D digital comb filter, an extremely high (600:1) contrast ratio, an exceptional peak brightness of 500 candles/square meter, and wide (170 x 170-degrees) viewing angles. Samsung also includes its proprietary video-enhancment technology, Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe). DNIe performs 3-D noise reduction and detail and contrast enhancement for all interlaced (non-HD) sources. Throw in 60,000-hour lamp life for years of use and PC and multi-channel picture-in-picture with split-screen capabilities, and you're looking at a sweet little--make that sweet big--set.

Connections include one S-video input, one composite-video input, an RF input (for older VCRs and cable boxes), and two component-video inputs (one progressive-scan DVD-oriented 480i video input, one DTV-ready 480p/720p/1080i input), as well as a DVI input (with HDCP content protection) for a PC. A headphone jack affords private listening, and Virtual Dolby surround sound simulates surround sound from any two speakers. The set includes wall and ceiling mounting hardware.
