Although CNET did not review the 40-inch Samsung LN-T4071F, we did review the 46-inch Samsung LN-T4671F. Judging from their spec sheets, the two Samsung 120Hz flat-panel LCD HDTVs are essentially identical but for screen size, so we expect the picture quality of the 46-inch model to provide a good indication of how the 40-incher will perform. For more information, refer to the full review of the Samsung LN-T4671F. For additional details on Samsung's high-end flat-panel LCD HDTVs, see our roundup.
