Amazon.com Product Description
Offering an unparalleled sleek design and one of the best 720p LCD panels available, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4053H 40-inch flat-panel LCD HDTV is an updated successor the super popular 2006 model LNS4051D. Compared to the previous year's model this one offers an updated cosmetic design, a better contrast ratio at 8000:1, a swivel stand, hidden speakers, side A/V inputs, and 3 HDMI connections.

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.

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.

Connections:

• HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 3
• R/F in 1

Customer Reviews

Awesome Deal!
I had been looking for a while on a good deal for a nice sized HDTV. I found this and the price was way below market competitors, plus it was a Samsung, which is great, I'm all for their products. Great reliability and quality!

a pleasure to watch
This TV is just a pleasure to look at. The screen looks great even in a brightly lit room and shows no glare at all from reflections on-screen.
I only have two very minor complaints. First, the remote isn't great. It's not very intuitive to use I find, and although it is supposed to work with the Samsung AnyNet DVD player I got with it (DVD-1080P8), it is terrible for that (it doesn't even have a "menu" button for the DVD play menu). So I just use two remotes instead of one. Not a big deal.
My second complaint is even more minor. There are many inputs in the back of the set (which is excellent), but if you need to change the input source channel, you often have to scroll through several options to find the correct one. It would be handy if it could autodetect what is plugged in and what is providing a signal, and skip those channels that are not powered up.
Overall, a very good set and it looks GREAT.

I Feel All Tingly Thinking About It
First off, I will need to connect the TV to my aerial to see how it works with true HD. With my ordinary Comcast box, it looks just fine. Its not blurry or anything like that. Some folks reported a problem with sound, but that was not a problem for me. The manufacturer may have fixed that problem.

I had the TV delivered in the Oakland area and the delivery was uncomplicated and arrived a little earlier than I thought it would.

The only downside is that "Dirty Jobs" is a lot grosser to watch, because now I can *really* see the poo in detail that I had not enjoyed (cough) before.
