The good: Solid black-level performance for an LCD; relatively accurate color; 120Hz processing smooths judder in motion; fine screen uniformity for an LCD; extensive range of picture controls; comprehensive connectivity with three HDMI and one PC input; ultrasleek glossy black design.
The bad: Expensive; smooth motion seems unnatural for film-based material and can introduce artifacts; black and near-black areas tend toward blue; shiny screen causes distracting reflections in normal room lighting.
The bottom line: While a few issues hamper its judder-busting video processing, the 120Hz Samsung LN-T4671F is still one of the best-performing LCD HDTVs available.
Description:
The Samsung LN-T4671F is a 46-inch, liquid crystal display television.
Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is relatively expensive at around $2,055.
This unit is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros:
Has a 46-inch screen size.
This is larger than the average TV on the market today, but is to be expected for a TV of this price.
This unit can display images that are sharper and more realistic than regular television when connected to a high definition signal.
The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons:
Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability:
Designed for those who want to enjoy an ultra-sharp picture from an ultra-thin TV.
In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is well suited for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value:
In general, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
