MANUFACTURE STATED FEATURES

Samsung is one of the leading manufactures of LCD/LED HDTV’s. We are extremely impressed with this samsung model. Lets dive into the heart of this power house, utilizing Wide Color Gamut LED backlight technology by using several LED‘S to light the panel, this results in richer blacks and vivid colors.

 

Not to mention the Auto Motion Plus 120Hz™ giving this set a motion blur free picture. Followed up by a 4ms response time and full high definition 1080p Resolution makes this one of our top picks.

 

You will also enjoy the wheel key remote control WiseLink™ Pro allowing you to play MP3, mpeg, and displaying JPEG files through the USB 2.0 connection.

 

4 HDMI connections allows for easy connectivity of devices.
