Samsung engineers and develops some of the worlds leading high definition televisions. It has taken them a while, since they had to compete with the likes of Sony, Pioneer, Toshiba and Panasonic and other large electronics manufacturing companies who have had a television market presence for years. They have finally come to the place where their products in many cases are equally as good, if not even superior to their competitors.
Samsung manufactures several different model lines, all with different features. They make the series 600 model line that is targeted to people who might be first time HDTV buyers because it is easy to use, understand and still offers fantastic HDTV quality.
The main difference between the sets within the 600 series is the screen size. The quality of the HDTV and the features are the same among them all.
The Samsung LN46A650 is the 46 inch screensize model in the 600 series. The reason the Samsung HDTV is so good is that you get extremely high value for the amount that it costs.
The Samsung 46 LCD HDTV is the perfect HDTV for most rooms as it allows viewing from almost any angle and the image quality is magnificent.
Here is a list of features that we will also explain below:
- 4 millisecond pixel response time
- 178 degree viewing angle
- Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz image interpolation technology
- 120 Hz refresh rate
- 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
Touch of color is what Samsung calls their series 600 chasis. The Touch of Color manufacturing process is inspired by the automotive industry. It utilizes Samsung’s unique transparent and opaque color molding process and creates a clean, smooth black finish with just a hint of red translucent color and that is beautiful and attractive in almost every type of decor.
The Ultra clear LCD panel they use is partly responsible for producing the incredibly clear and vibrant picture quality. What this refers to is that Samsung has replaced the light diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel that has a clear anti-glare sheild. It reduces the reflection of external light and creates an image clarity that highlights black and darkened areas, creates richer, truer colors and a brighter overall picture. The blacks don’t appear grayish. This panel allows for perfect viewing at a large number of positions in the room, not simply direct viewing.
They also have what they call Wide Color Enhancer that enhances the color spectrum and delivers truer colors, so that greens, blues and reds do not appear washed out or faded, but vibrant and realistic.
What they call Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz image interpolation actually doubles the frame display rate from 60 to 120 frames a second and doesn’t repeat the same image to make more frames. What it does is calculate the middle image between two successive frames and inserts it in between, making the transition much more fluid. This means that you can view fast action scenes without any degradation of high definition image quality.
50000:1 dynamic contrast ratio refers to the increase in the sets capability of creating realistic contrast and brightness levels. It aids in the picture quality by creating whiter whites, blacker blacks and almost an infinite subtlety of gradations in between.
120 Hz refers to the number of frames that refresh per second. The higher the number, the smoother and more defined the movement becomes.
Also important to know is the pixel response time rate. For the Samsung LN46A650 HDTV, the pixel response rate is a blazing fast 4 milliseconds. (Traditional HDTVs are usually around 8 millisecond response time).
Finally, they have made the television with a viewing angle of 178 degrees. That means that you can view the set with perfect picture clarity while standing up, off to the side and directly in front. You do not lose any picture quality when viewing at an awkward angle.
