Samsung LNT4661F 46" 1080p LCD HDTV

Amazon.com Product Description

For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 46-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4661FF is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4661F also features a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle texture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.

Compared to other Samsung Models
The primary differences between Samsung's LNT4661F and the step-up LNT4665F LCD HDTV is in the contrast ratio and video processing power. The pricier LNT4665F offers a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to this model's 10,000:1 ratio, and also offers full 10bit video processing over this model's 8 bit system. The more expensive model should display finer gradients of shading making for more detail in darker scenes. The video processing difference should ensure smoother motion in fast moving scenes for the LNT4065F.

Video Processing
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

Audio Features
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio 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.

You can't go wrong with this HDTV!.......2007-12-26

Much like the other prudent shoppers who have purchased this HDTV, I spent over two months researching and looking at TV's in the stores. It is very hard to compare units in the stores because the demo material they show tends to show only the positive aspects of most sets and they are turned up as bright as possible. I had previously purchased and returned a Toshiba 47HL167 because the picture had a slight green tendency that could not be adjusted out. This green tendency was not noticeable in any of the showrooms for the reasons I just explained.

I purchased the Samsung from Amazon and it was delivered only 8 days later. The white glove delivery was NOT exactly as advertised. Eagle USA (bought out by another company) did not make their 10-2pm delivery window and showed up about 3:30pm. I had to waste most of the day waiting! The delivery person was nice enough and did call about 1:50pm to let me know he was running late due to heavy traffic, but still.... He delivered the TV into my house (with my help, only a single person delivery team) then asked me to sign without unpacking and checking the HDTV as the white glove service is supposed to do. I guess I could have insisted, but I did not notice any damage to the box and he said I should note near my signature that the TV was not inspected. That way, if there were any problems discovered when unboxed, I could still have the delivery company come back and take it back. I agreed and he left to deliver his last two LATE HDTVs for the day.

The Samsung LNT4661 is everything I expected and you have read about in this and other reviews. The colors are very accurate and pleasing. A first rate picture right out of the box. I am able to display 1920x1080 @60Hz from my computer VGA out on the Sammy and the picture is incredible! This is something that not many other HDTVs with computer inputs can do. The picture of broadcast HD material is terrific as is DVD movies shown through the Component inputs. The upconversion capability of the Samsung is pretty good. I compared the picture with an OPPO DV-980H through the HDMI at 1080P. The oppo is widely regarded as one of the best DVD upconversion players on the market. The OPPO was very slightly better, but the difference was so small that I returned the OPPO saving my $182.

If I have any complaints or nitpicks, this would be it:
1. The way of doing channel adds or erases is a bit labor intensive when compared to so other methods. To delete channels, you must go through one by one.
2. Same for designating Favorite Channels, you must add them one at a time rather than providing a list method that some other manufacturers provide (Toshiba).
3. The picture in picture feature somewhat limited in flexibility. You can only have one of your main video inputs (COMP1, COMP2, HDMI1...) as the main picture and ATSC tuner image as the sub picture.

As I said, I am nitpicking. This is the lowest price 1080p 46" HDTV that Samsung makes and it has many other features that other brands don't (USB port, JPEG viewer, etc) and still one of the most accurate color pictures on the market equal to Sony models much more expensive. If I had to do it all over again, I would purchase this set again in a heatbeat and especially now that everyone is dropping the price down to the $1300 level. You won't be sorry if you choose this HDTV!

Great Buy!.......2007-12-25

After much research, my family purchased this TV as a gift to the house and we couldn't be happier with the purchase. The picture is good (blacks and colors look good), there are ample inputs for hooking up components, viewing from various angles is good (TV stand even swivels!) and it sounds amazing through my home theater system. Watching DVDs is like being at the movie theater. Some older DVDs look a bit grainy but I think that has more to do with my old progressive scan DVD player or the DVD transfer itself since the newer DVDs all appear fine. This may be resolved with a HDMI hookup (my DVD player doesn't have it) or an upconverting player, but I'm not too sold on that technology as I've read some poor reviews of even the leading upconverting players.

Note: Since Best Buy couldn't deliver the item before Dec. 31, we decided to purchase the TV from Amazon and were happy we did. Amazon's price was nearly $200 cheaper with free shipping AND they did an amazing job getting it delivered to us a week before Christmas via their equally impressive delivery service. Thanks Amazon!!!

Great TV.......2007-12-25

We really like the tv. Great images. They came and set it up and made sure it was working before taking off.

Great television.......2007-12-23

The Samsung LNT4661F 46" 1080p LCD HDTV was our first HDTV. Prior to that we watched a 27" analog set and the difference is amazing when viewing in HD. Analog programing on this TV is grainy because of the size of the screen. I like the fact that this set has 3 HDMI ports, makes hook-ups really easy. When we registered the television on line with Samsung USA we received an additional three months of warranty.
We purchased this TV through AMAZON and the free white glove delivery service was great as they unboxed the TV and set it up to insure it worked. Our first one did not (if it had this review would be a five star.) We called Amazon Customer Service while the delivery people were still on site and Customer Service advised us that we could refuse shipment and they would either refund our money or send us another Samsung. We chose to recieve another unit, so the delivery service reboxed the original set and returned it. all at no additional cost. Within a week we had another set delivered and set up. This one works great! We are satisfied with the TV, and the service we recieved.

This is What a TV is supposed to be. The picture is beyond expectation, especially when watchin Star Wars 1 in Blue Ray: WOW, it is as good as a movie in the theater, but with the creature comforts of home.

You want to install your brand new flat screen at the wall and already spent a lot of money on the TV itself so you need something that works and has a good price? GET THIS ONE because it is strong and easy to mount. If I mounted mine and it hasn't fallen in 1 month it means it's good. Of course I am smart: read the instructions and used a stud finder.
