Touch of Color
 | Samsung's Series 6 marks the first appearance of TOC (Touch of Color) design in the 2008 LCD HDTV line-up. Inspired by designs from the automotive and fashion industries, Samsung's unique unique Transparent and Opaque Color molding process creates a clean, smooth finish infused with a hint of a translucent color during the manufacturing process for an ultra-sleek appearance. |
InfoLink
 | Up-to-the-minute access to weather, news, sports and stock information is just a cable and a click away through the HDTV's Ethernet port and new InfoLink RSS service. An all-new user interface with digital contents management guide provides intuitive navigation and access to both internal and external content. |
Auto Motion Plus 120Hz
 | This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the 'middle' image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next. |  |
Super Clear Panel
  | Samsung enhances the clarity of select LCD HDTVs by replacing the light-diffusing plastic face of traditional LCD HDTVs with a natural black panel with a clear anti-glare shield. Reduced reflection of external light creates a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. Black will never again appear grayish. Black details will show in vivid black even in dark scenes. The latest version of Samsung's breakthrough super clear panel technology makes colors appear more vibrant and blacks even deeper than ever. Enhanced films reduce glare and optimize off-angle viewing. |
50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio/500 nit Brightness
 | 50,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio will give you a picture better than you ever thought possible, with whiter whites, blacker blacks and a nearly infinite subtlety of gradations in between. As two of the most important determining factors in overall picture quality, contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this latest generation LCD panel. Samsung's new LCD TV's give the most stunning realistic picture quality ever. |
Full HD 1080P
 | Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture. The new Samsung LCD TV with resolution that is approximately 2 times greater than conventional HDTVs, creating the most perfect picture imaginable. Samsung's 1080p panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms. The fast response time, coupled with Samsung's Auto Motion Plus 120Hz motion blur reduction technology dramatically reduces motion blur and judder. |  |
Digital Natural Image Engine
 | DNIe™ The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This exclusive Samsung technology dramatically improves the picture by enhancing the contrast, detail, white balance and reduces. |  |
Wide Color Enhancer/Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamp
| The NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) has established the color standards all TVs in America try to meet. And typical LCD TVs only meet about 72% of this standard. Samsung LCD HDTVs use Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp backlights to give you 92% coverage of the NTSC standard, ensuring truer, more breathlessly vivid colors. Samsung's exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky. | |||

Connectivity
 | To make the Series 6 a true entertainment hub for any home, Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV's functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side), and the handy HDMICEC feature lets you control all your CEC-enabled peripherals using just one remote. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV. Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV's sophisticated content management interface.

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA)
  | You already know something about digital living. There's the TV and digital video recorder in your family room. (And another set in your bedroom.) You have a PC and digital printer in your office, along with a network attached storage device. And you've copied all your music onto your portable music player and haven't had to open a CD case for years. But getting them to talk to each other can be pretty tough. Why is it still so difficult to send digital content from one device to another? Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a collaboration of the world's leading consumer electronics, PC and mobile companies that has created design guidelines for a new generation of products that can work together — no matter the brand. Think for a moment about all of the photos "locked away" on your home PC that you wish you could access while entertaining your friends and family. Now, thanks to DLNA enabled devices, a DLNA-enabled PC can be accessed from the comfort of your living room or family room via a DLNA-enabled HDTV, where you can enjoy your memories with friends and family, without having to deal with the hassle and non-intuitive "PCexperience". Or, say you recently downloaded your daughter's birthday party video from your digital camcorder to your PC. Now you want to share it with your parents who are visiting. Without DLNA, you probably have to burn a DVD of the video or hook up the camcorder to the TV. With DLNA, you can just use your TV's remote to call up the video on your TV. That's it. |
Super Patterned Vertical Alignment

Audio Features
TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the two hidden, downward-firing side-mounted 2.2-channel dome speakers built into the TV.SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass.
TruSurround XT audio also adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.
Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?
 | With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience.

We bought this for Christmas last year and I am just now getting around to writing a review. Not much to say other than it is a great TV. Great color; superb picture; easy to use. I wish the sound was better. We had to buy a external speaker system just to be able to enjoy it. This model was 120HZ stop motion and did not have Wi-Fi or a USB port so we can't get the streaming video movies from Amazon or Netflix. Now they have 240HZ Wi-FI models with LED back light for the same price. Tchnology never holds still.

the best product Samsung LN46A650 46-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color
By Trish
Have had this TV for about a year now, and it is perfect.
We do have HD hookup, so the picture is much better obviously. It is fine without, but I would recommend HD to anyone buying this size TV.
I had read complaints about the sound quality, but I have noticed no problems with that.
And also glare is not a problem...and it is in a sunny room.
I have not used half of the features that are available with the TV...have not hooked up to any other source but the stereo.
By Amanda Worthy (Mid Missouri)
I'm a little late with this review since we bought the tv a year ago, but I just wanted to voice my opinion of how much I love our TV! We researched hdtv's for a long time and we knew that Samsung made the very best! Now I am somewhat tech-savvy but really I think anyone can tell that Samsung is the best. If you don't believe me, go to your nearest Best B** or other electronics retailer. Look at the TV's on the walls and then look to see which screen seems closer to black and which colors look more true to life? The answer will be Samsung every time!
Now for someone who isn't all that tech savvy but wants to buy a great tv here's what to look for:
Contrast Ratio- This is what makes the screen seem look black. If you go to your local WalM*** or such place you will see that they have very cheap hdtv's... Even those these tv's are hdtv's, they mostly junk! Yes, I am aware that you can buy Samsungs there, but look at the specs. The contrast ratio may only be 2000:1.
1080p- This is going to give you a much better picture than a 740p. When we visited a friends house they had just bought an hdtv, but the screen was horribly "pixelated". It was awful! You will not get this with the Samsung. The picture is clear and so life-like its amazing!
120hz- The 120hz really does make a difference in fast squences. Other hdtv's tend to get blurry when there is some fast action... but not this Samsung! We have never had an issue with the screen being blurry.
I also really love the design and color of this particular tv. It's very modern and the red is a great little touch.
Not long after purchasing the tv, we had family over and were watching a movie. Our relatives (who own an hdtv) thought the movie was blu-ray because of how amazing the image quality was... They couldn't believe it was just the normal dvd!
You cannot beat the quality of Samsung tvs! Plus the price on Amazon will beat anyone else, and the shipping was great. It was fast, the people were very courteous and they even hooked everything up.
As far as the size of the tv, our couch is fairly far away from the tv and the 46 inch is the perfect size!
I can't say enough great things about this tv. HOWEVER, the only thing I will say is that if you are considering spending this much on a TV you may want to consider going with one of Samsungs new LED tv's. On Amazon they really aren't too much more and they are even more amazing!! We're considering buying one and putting this 46in one in our bedroom!
But if you don't want to spend more then you should defintely buy this tv. Like I said before we've had the tv for over a year and we have no regrets.

I am 100% pleased with the TV and with the Amazon experience. The first tv that was shipped to me had a problem and Amazon customer service took ownership of the problem and fixed if for me right away. It was my first purchase from Amazon and since then I have purchased around 8 other items from them. Service is what keeps people returning.
