Samsung LN-T4665F LCD TV



The Samsung LNT4665F is a flat-panel 46″ LCD HDTV that is capable of showing 1080p. It has a great picture with very sharp details from the 15,000:1 contrast ratio and very smooth motion from the 8 millisecond response time. The sound is also amazing. Samsung has developed a technology called SRS TruSurround XT that creates a simulated surround sound. They play this through two hidden speakers on each side.

The TV weighs 61.7 pounds and measures only 46.3″ x 27.3″ x 4.1″ which is pretty small. You won’t find a flat-panel HDTV that weighs less or is smaller with a 46″ widescreen. The TV also has 3 HDMI ports for the best way to connect devices to play hi-def material.

LCD Technology of the Samsung LN-T4665F 46 inch

Samsung LNT4665F Reviews A LCD or liquid crystal display is a thin panel with millions of pixels. These pixels are aligned with electric currents to allow or block light from a backlight behind the panel like shutters. The specific kind of LCD technology used in the Samsung LN-T4665F is called TFT or thin film transistor which is an active matrix of these pixels. The TFT is the best way of using a LCD in HDTV’s and Samsung is one of the top suppliers of this technology. Advantages of this is they have a very quick response time, an extremely high viewing angle, it doesn’t weigh much, is highly durable, and there is no chance of burn-in of images like a plasma. Disadvantages are there is still a very minimal screen door effect although nothing in comparison to older LCD’s and the backlights are very expensive to replace if they ever burn out although they have a long lifetime.

Display of the Samsung LN T4665F 46inch LCD 1080p HDTV

LN-T4665F super clear image The display of the Samsung LNT4665F is up to 1080p with the 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. The 1080p means the number of horizontal lines (1080) and the refresh rate of them (p or progressive). The other refresh rate, i or interlaced, only refreshes the odd lines all together and then the even lines all together while the progressive refreshes them all together which makes for twice as much refreshing and a bit of an improved picture.

The 46″ screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9 which is the widescreen standard. For a standard TV the ratio would be 4:3 but all TV’s are going to fall into one of these two standards.

The LN-T4665F has a high contrast ratio of 15,000:1. That is the comparison of the brightest color to the darkest. A high contrast like that can show high detail even in dark scenes with very deep blacks and very bright whites.

The maximum viewing angle of a TV is 180 degrees. It is physically impossible to view from outside that because you’ll be behind the television. This HDTV has a 178 degree viewing angle which means the picture will be excellent in all but the last degree from the left or right side. With the swivel stand that can turn the TV via remote you will have an extra 20 degrees of viewing to give you a huge area that your TV will be viewable from.
