Samsung LNS2641D LCD TV Review

It features an integrated HDTV tuner, 10-bit video processor, and a 3000:1 contrast ratio for smooth, vibrant pictures. It also includes dual HDMI inputs for simultaneous signal transfer of audio and video from digital devices and PC connectivity. The dual purpose pedestal stand can also be used as an articulating wall mount when it’s folded back. Additionally, the stand can be removed for wall-mounting via optional VESA compatible hardware (such as Samsung wall mounting kit WMTL2600).

The Samsung LNS2641D features a stunning 3000:1 contrast ratio, 500 cd/m2 brightness rating (for brighter whites, deeper blacks, and every shade in between), a 1366 x 768-pixel resolution (for a widescreen 16:9 screen aspect ratio), 170-degree viewing angle, and a super-fast 8ms (millisecond) response time, which minimizes blurring of moving images and is especially helpful for sports and action movies. Other convenience features include:

• Picture-in-picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources.

• Built-in image scaler to handle inputs from a variety of digital and analog audio/video sources.

• Parental Control (V-Chip) helps parents monitor what their children watch on TV by establishing rating limits.

• Auto volume leveler keeps audio volume consistent during channel changing.

• Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.

High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the sides of the Samsung LNS2641D. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. It produces 5 watts of power per channel (for 10 watts total) and offers the following connection options:

• Composite (RCA audio/video): 2 inputs (1 on the side)

• S-Video: 2 inputs (1 on the side)

• Component (Y/Pb/Pr): 1 input

• HDMI: 2 inputs

• PC: 1 D-Sub15 input

• RF: 2 inputs

• Sound monitor output: 1

• Digital optical audio ouput: 1

• Headphone: 1

• RS232 port: 1

Tech Talk

TruSurround XT audio adds three new 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.

Component video (also called Y/Pb/Pr) features a three-jack video input, which provides separate connections for luminance (Y), blue color difference (PB) and red color difference (PR). This results in increased bandwidth for color information, resulting in a more accurate picture with clearer color reproduction and less bleeding than you would get with S-Video or composite (RCA yellow video plug) connections. You will need a separate RCA left/right audio cable for sound.
