Customer Reviews

The best blacks of any LCD TV
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
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).

Samsung 4081 TV
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.
