BOTH OF THESE COMPANIES SUCK… IF YOU DO THE RESEARCH NO ONE BUYS SONYS ANYMORE AND SAMSUNG IS THE MOST REPAIRED TELEVISION ON THE MARKET…. ANOTHER THING THE LCD TECHNOLOGY ISNT GOING TO LAST VERY LONG BECAUSE WHEN LASERVUE COMES OUT LCD AND PLASMA IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN…. AND YOU WANT THE BEST TV ON THE MARKET ITS NOT GOING TO BE AN LCD FOR SURE ITS EITHER THE PIONEER ELITE OR THE PANASONIC Z SERIES PLASMA… ALL LCD’S HAVE OVER SATURATED RED LEVELS ALONG WITH BLUE LEVELS…. THUS MEANING THE PICTURE IS GOING TO BE MUCH BRIGHTER AND YOUR OTHER COLORS WILL BLEED IN WITH OTHER COLORS…
IVE WORKED WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY FOR YEARS AND I ONLY SEEN 3 OR 4 PIONEERS REPAIRED.. CHECK THE RECORD…
WHICH LEAVES ME WITH A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF….
IF 120HZ AND 240HZ IS SUCH A BIG DEAL WHY DO YOU HAVE THE OPTION OF TURNING IT OFF?(defeats the point of buying the tv for that purpose)
WHAT IS PRODUCED IN 120/240HZ?(nothing)
WHAT IS PRODUCED IN 480/600HZ?(nothing)
DO YOU LIKE SITTING IN FRONT OF A COMPUTER MONITOR ALL NIGHT?
(no you dont because it starts to bother your eyes right? yea yea so y u want a crappy lcd)
WHO MAKES THE BEST TELEVISION IN THE WORLD?(pioneer PLASMA)
WHY IS THE LCD TECHNOLOGY STILL TRYING TO CATCH UP TO THE PLASMA TECHNOLOGY?(etc. refresh rates, black levels)
WHEN 3D IS PRODUCED CAN YOU WATCH IT ON AN LCD?( hahaha nope forget about it)
HAVE ACTIVE KIDS WHO LIKE TO TOUCH THINGS? (20 pounds of pressure and ur tv is done good bye hello new tv)
Samsung LN46A950 LCD HDTV
The Series 9 HDTVs are the second generation of LCDs to utilize Samsung’s LED SmartLighting technology, first available in the now-discontinued 81 Series. This premium Samsung line includes two models, sized at 55 and 46 inches, and adds Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology, which was not offered in the first-generation LED line. We have not performed a hands-on review of the LN46A950, but here is an overview of the TV’s features. While a traditional LCD employs a fluorescent backlighting system, this TV uses clusters of LED backlights; the system’s local-dimming design allows the LEDs to respond dynamically to the content onscreen, turning off certain LEDs to create deeper blacks in areas of the picture that call for it. Local dimming is more successful than a standard backlight at allowing black areas to look black while still letting bright areas remain bright, which gives the picture excellent contrast. Samsung’s LED Motion Plus technology sequentially scans the backlights to help reduce motion blur, and LEDs also lack the mercury found in fluorescents, which makes this a more environmentally friendly TV. The 46-inch, 1080p LN46A950 also features Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology to further reduce motion blur and to reduce judder in film-based sources. The 46LNA950 uses an Ultra Clear Panel designed to reject ambient light to help improve contrast and black levels in brighter viewing environments. It also sports Samsung’s Touch of Colour design, with a patterned charcoal-gray accent colour around the edge of the gloss-black cabinet.
The generous connection panel includes four HDMI, two component video, and one PC input, plus an RF input to access the internal ATSC, NTSC, and Clear-QAM tuners. The HDMI inputs accept both 1080p/60 and 1080p/24 signals, and one is located on the side panel for easy access. Picture-in-picture functionality is available. Samsung has also included a number of connections that will appeal to the digital photo/music fan and Web user: Enjoy MP3s, JPEGs, and digital video via the side-panel USB port; or, thanks to the addition of an Ethernet port, you can stream digital content from a PC or DLNA-certified server. The Ethernet port also lets you utilize Samsung’s InfoLink RSS service to access news, stock, and weather information. The TV has onboard flash memory and comes preloaded with artwork, recipes, games, children’s music, and more.
Samsung has incorporated a number of video and audio adjustments to fine-tune the TV’s performance. In addition to three picture modes (dynamic, standard, and movie), five colour-temperature options, and digital noise reduction, the LN46A950′s menu features advanced white-balance, gamma, and fleshtone controls, plus multiple colour spaces with the ability to independently adjust six colour points. Samsung has added a Blue-Only mode that makes it easier to correctly set the TV’s color and tint. You can enable or disable LED Motion Plus to address motion blur, while the Auto Motion Plus 120Hz menu offers multiple settings, each of which affects the image quality differently. The off mode simply repeats frames to create 120Hz (which many film purists prefer), while the low, medium, and high modes perform varying degrees of motion interpolation to create smoother movement with film-based sources. Using LED Motion Plus and Auto Motion Plus together will most effectively reduce motion blur. The LN46A950 has six aspect ratios, including a Just Scan mode that displays 1080i/1080p sources with no overscan.
On the audio side, the menu includes five preset sound modes, and an equalization feature lets you further tweak various frequencies within each mode. SRS TruSurround XT processing is offered, and an Auto Volume function reduces level variations between TV shows and commercials.
The LN46A950 also features three entertainment modes called sports, cinema, and games; each offers fixed video and audio settings meant to suit that type of entertainment. So, if you don’t wish to wade through all the video and audio parameters we just described, you can simply select an entertainment mode and let the TV make the adjustments for you.
High Points
• The local-dimming LED backlight system allows this LCD to produce better blacks and have a better overall contrast than many traditional LCD TVs.
• The second-generation LED models add Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology, which effectively reduces motion blur and offers multiple settings to tailor the motion to your liking. Those who do not like the effects of Auto Motion Plus motion interpolation can instead use the LED Motion Plus feature to reduce motion blur, or you can use both technologies together for best results.
• The Ultra Clear Panel’s reflective screen does help blacks look darker and create better contrast in a room with some ambient lighting.
• This TV has a 1080p resolution and will accept 24p sources via its HDMI inputs.
