From the Manufacturer
For those who are ready for the clearest, brightest picture on the market today, Samsung presents the LN-T5271F. Full 1080p resolution is just the beginning: Samsung's incredible Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology reduces motion blur for crisp, precise action. The color-saturated 40" picture boasts a 25,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, displaying rich blacks and capturing subtle nuances. A fast 8ms response time ensures smooth, lifelike motion.

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz This technology doubles the frame rate from 60 to 120 frames per second (120Hz LCD panel) without repeating the same image to make more frames. Instead, the TV intelligently calculates the ‘middle’ image between frame A and frame B and inserts it in between (Auto Motion Plus 120Hz processor), making a fluid transition from one frame to the next. 25,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio 25,000:1 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. Wide Color Enhancer Samsung’s exclusive Wide Color Enhancer technology delivers more brilliant colors, even in bright areas of the picture where blues and greens are washed out on conventional screens. The system displays wider color reproduction, showing you truer colors – the fresh green of spring foliage, the intense blue of the summer sky.

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 highest contrast ratio enables our super clear panel design to provide you with a picture that you have to see to believe. Full HD 1080P Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. More scanning lines mean more pixels, more details and a better picture.

Customer Reviews

Amazing picture. 120hz is a joke!
Had this TV for six months now. Just as many of the other reviewers have said, the picture and clarity of this TV is unmatched. You are just going to be blown away by the colors, brightness, and overall picture quality, hands down.

I'm convinced that this 120hz technology is nothing more than a marketing gimmick. It just doesn't work. The screen gets all choppy and studders when it kicks in and is extremely distracting. I've contacted Samsung and installed the latest updates but it just flat-out doesn't work. Luckily, I can turn it off and the LCD's infamous "motion blur" doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the 120hz fiasco.

In the end, I would say buy the plasma. You'll save yourself enough money to buy a blu-ray player, a ton of movies, and a lifetime of popcorn and you'll get a comparable picture quality without the motion blur.

Inferior product, poor support
Bought TV less than 1 year ago. It died 2wks ago. It's still under warranty. Other than wait longer, Samsung has not been able to tell us what's wrong, when it will be fixed. Poor customer support, inferior product.

Got a Bad Piece - Samsung Support is Very Very Bad
The TV has not worked properly since the second month. There are these dead gray pixels on the left hand side of the screen. Changing the panel didn't fix the problem.

First, Samsung tried to fix it but couldn't. Then they tried to exchange it but ran out of their TV stock. Now they've been trying to issue a refund but can not seem to move the process along.

The refund check has been AP posted since August 6th but a trucking company has still not contacted me. Customer service doesn't give me more information except to wait more time.

The customer service is so inefficient, slow and unhelpful.The exchange process has been going on for 4 months and is still not complete. No idea when they will pick up the old TV and issue a refund check. Bad product, horrible support.
