Amazon.com Product Description
For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 40-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung’s 2007 model LNT4065F is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4065F also features a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle tecture 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 LNT4065F and the lower priced LNT4061F LCD HDTV is in the contrast ratio and video processing power. Where this model offers a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 10-bit video processor, the LNT4061F has a 10,000:1 ratio, with an 8-bit video processor. The LNT4065F 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.

Image 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.

Samsung - THE WORST COMPANY IN THE WORLD
I can not get this repaired under warranty, and they ADMIT I have the warranty! I have spent hours on the phone, taken two days off work waiting for a service call that never comes.

They say there is NO SERVICE CENTER IN SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA!!! I have in home warranty service and they say that in the huge metropolitan area of San Diego, they have no one that repairs the TV.

I can not believe the horrible service… horrible..

If anyone from Samsung thinks they can solve this problem and make me a happy camper, my customer service number is: 4001573774

*********I am adding this one week after the above review. I received a call from Samsung last Friday. They said they had located a repairman in San Diego that would fix my TV (the FOURTH time they have done this) and they gave me the repair phone number. The Samsung service center said they had called the repair location and confirmed that they would be able to repair my television. I called the repair location today and they said they had never heard of me or my TV! They said I would have to call Samsung to get it straightened out…

I guess their strategy is to just get me to give up.. Simply HORRIBLE service! The worst company in the world!

++++++++++++++++ I can’t believe this! My friend asked me what TV I owned and I told him Samsung. It was a quick comment in passing.. BUT HE WENT AND BOUGHT A 42″! He took it home, opened it up and watched for 20 minutes before it stopped working. He called Samsung, because there was a big “STOP, do not return this TV” on the manual. They told him there is no one in San Diego to repair it but that they promised to find someone (sounds familiar). Anyway, I told him not to bother and to take it back to Frys RIGHT AWAY! He returned it and they replaced it with another Samsung… I hope it will work for him and he doesn’t need any service. Samsung, the worst company in the world!

STILL no repair. I received a call yesterday from someone with an Asian accent of some kind asking if my TV was ever repaired. I told him no, and he got off of the phone fast. His English needed work so I am not sure what he was getting at, but I sure can’t recommend Samsung as far as service goes….

AWESOME TV — Worlds Pickiest Buyer!
OK Everyone: I am going to tell you- I went everywhere- spent countless hours comparing specs, picture quality, reviews and all of the above to make this purchase.. Being a Single Mom and no personal experience buying a quality TV before- I wanted to make the right purchase.. I knew I wanted to keep my purchase under $1500 and get HD-1080 and at least a 40inch screen.. I had just purchased (2) Flat Samsung 19inch PC monitors and have never owned a Samsung before- Being so impressed with the PC monitors quality- I started doing research on their TV models. I went to the local stores and compared Pictures- I found myself gravitating back to the Samsung everytime- Then I saw this model- with the Clear Screen option– and it was 1080- Comparing to the models that did not have it –I liked the fact that it does not have the compete ‘flat’ LCD look- and has a little clear coat over that- It’s like the best of both LCD & Plasma– It is placed in a room with a lot of light- I have no issue with glare at all! The HD quality is so clear- I never knew the TV could look so real–clear and crisp! Accessories I bought: Knowing very LITTLE about the wiring needed- I also purchased the “WireLogic HDTV Hook-Up Kit for Tabletop TVs and Entertainment Centers” You get everything you need in one box! For both the cable and a DVD player hook up. Even extra for (2) other accesories i.e. vcr etc. I bought the “Samsung DVD-1080P7 Up-Converting 1080p DVD Player” and all my DVD’s play in 1080- WOW! I have not seen a bad or questionable picture yet– A side note for the ‘gamers’ out there- My Son plays his Nintendo Game Cube on this and the graphics are awesome! No problems noted! He figured out the remote and all the options (He is only 10) I have never seen ‘Mario” look so good! LOL.
I am trying out the cable company’s latest Cable-DVR box-for 3 mos.. (It’s like TiVo) I think Im hooked! I was able to hook the TV up to the cable DVR signal in a matter of a few minutes right out of the box.. YEAH!!
I was proud of myself.. So, Ladies.. and Gents for that matter- You dont have to be an electrician or audiophile to do the install! THIS TV ROCKS! You wount be sorry!! And. It looks AWESOME too! BUY IT. Ohh and Amazon rocked the sales price– No One could or would even come close to beating it locally — Delivery was a breeze- Thanks Amazon! I had a VERY MERRY Christmas indeed!

Samsung’s HDTV vivid color
The picture on this TV is as good as it gets — vivid blacks and reds. This was a gift to my step-son and his wife, and they just love it.
