From the Manufacturer
If you are ready for the clearest, brightest LCD picture on the market today, look no further. The LN-T4081F offers full 1080p resolution and reduced motion blur due to its LED Motion Plus feature. Samsung's SmartLighting technology allows for an amazing 500,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and ultra-sharp blacks. The LED backlight also provides more natural color representation. Your home viewing experience has just risen to a new level. | LED SmartLighting
 | | With innovative LED Local Dimming, Samsung introduces an unprecedented viewing experience. Multiple LED backlights within a single screen turn on and off automatically to adjust the picture quality depending on the scene. Experience the superior contrast with stronger blacks & whites and greater subtlety of every gradation in between. The auto-controlling LED Local Dimming produces a picture quality beyond anything you can imagine. | | LED Motion Plus
 | | LED Motion Plus Technology progressively scans the array of LED backlights from top to bottom at very high frequencies. It auto-controls the picture, adjusting fast moving images and eliminating the blurs that are common on conventional or typical LCD TV. | | super clear panel
 | | Samsung's super clear panel is a new dimension in image clarity, highlighting black and darkened areas, enabling vibrant, more compelling colors and a brighter, clearer picture. The higher contrast ratio produces seamless, breathtakingly beautiful moving images and enables our super clear panel design to provide you with a picture that you have to see to believe. | | | 500,000:1 Contrast Ratio
 | | Like nothing you've seen before, the unparalleled 500,000:1 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. | | HDMI-CEC
 | | As CEC means Consumer Electronic Control, CEC system intelligence carries device control functions between all connected HDMI (CEC enabled) A/V devices. When you connect A/V devices like BD Player, AV Receiver, Home theater with HDMI cable, you can control all of them with one-touch control and a single remote control. | | 3 HDMI-high definition inputs
 | | Three High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centerpiece. 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. | | 2.2 channel hidden speakers | | The design-friendly LN-T4081F has 2 side built hidden speakers (10 watts x 2) with rear cabinet "hidden woofers" which enhance acoustic performance. | | Connections
- HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface version 1.3): 3 (2 rear/1 side)

- A/V inputs: 1 side/1 rear

 The best blacks of any LCD TV February 29, 2008
Josh Wardell (Newton, MA)

Samsung's highest-end 81 series of LCD televisions are the very first to incorporate a backlight made of hundreds of LEDs instead of the usual fluorescent tubes. The many benefits are immediately visible in its amazing contrast and color quality that finally matches that of plasma screens. Many reviews all agreed this is the best LCD they've seen, and in my own purchasing research it is very easy to see its quality next to others in the store, and ultimately that is why I bought this over any other model.
By selectively varying the brightness of each backlighting LED, the TV is able to have a much larger range from black to white, achieving a contrast ratio never seen before by an LCD.
In addition, LEDs produce a purer white, and allow the screen to display a wider range of colors (color gamut) than any fluorescent-backlit LCD.
Finally, the LEDs can be flashed at a very high rate of speed to improve upon the 8ms response time of the LCD itself, matching or beating the motion of 120 Hz panels.
Meanwhile, the TV uses much less electricity as a plasma and even other LCDs, and should be immune to any burn-in and lifetime issues associated with plasmas.
The TV has everything else you would expect at this high end: A spectacular LCD panel with very little off-axis brightness change, Three sets of HDMI and analog inputs, and of course a beautiful deep black glossy bezel and stand.
If you're looking for where to start with color settings, start with Movie mode, Warm 1 color, and a gamma of -3.
Amazing TV - don't be fooled by older versions December 26, 2007

while the LNTXX-71F series was great, this newer version is MUCH BETTER. Utilizing LEDs to light the LCD panel, the blacks are much deeper and darker, the response time is fantastic and motion blur is a thing of the past for this LCD TV.
Substitute XX with 40, 46 or 52 for the available sizes and order this today. I have had this for a few days and it has already blown away my Plasma TV (two years old).

This TV is simply amazing. I pretty much never leave a review on an item I purchased even if I love it. But this has prompted me to do so. That LCD blur is pretty much no existant on this tv. This is the deepest black and the whitest white that I've ever seen. It's so black that it appears that the TV is off!! Outstanding colors. You will need an ultra-high speed cable to see where this TV blows others away. It is still amazing without Hi-Def signal and even using the regular A/V inputs. But why spend this kind of money if you can't fully utilize this TV's abilities.

I have the TV for 2 weeks now. It is the best TV I have - great picture and easy to set up I also noticed that the MSRP of the TV is only $1999. It was $2999 about a month ago. If you can get it for less than $2000, you won't be sorry.
The perfect TV June 10, 2008

Bought this TV from a regular retailer a week ago, and it is truly the best of the best. The colors are incredible, the detail is magnificent. If you have the budget for it, buy this one, no other compares. Colors are natural and crisp, details are sharp. Pair it with a new TivoHD and HD from your cable company and you'll never watch TV the same again. It offers lots of controls to fine tune the picture and sound to just the way you want, whether it's dynamic and contrasty, to warm and natural. This TV has it all! Thanks Samsung!!!
