Samsung raises the bar again for LCD technology with its 40-inch LN-S4092D HDTV, which provides a high performance, large format LCD that also includes an integrated HDTV tuner as well as connectivity options for your PC and portable digital audio players. lt has a glossy, piano-black cabinetry with a space-saving bottom-mounted speaker design. lt sits atop a swivel stand that provides a +/-15-degree swivel that makes it easy to move the screen for optimal viewing. Additionally, the stand can be removed for wall-mounting via optional VESA compatible hardware.

The LCD panel incorporates the latest video technology from Samsung, all of which results in a richly vibrant color picture that's stunningly realistic. With the Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL), this set provides 92 percent of the NTSC standard color map--where typical LCD screens only cover 72 percent of this spectrum. The result is a superior color gamut than any other LCD TVs on the market for a more vivid color replication. Samsung's new innovative S-PVA (Super Patterned Vertical Alignment) panel technology allows you to see any display clearly with it the 178-degree wide viewing angle--horizontally and vertically.

The LN-S4092D features an unbelievable 5000:1 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), 178-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.

The Samsung Digital Natural lmage engine (DNle) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNle 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. 0ther convenience features include:

• Picture-in-picture (PlP) 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.
• Clock on/off timer allows you to set a time to turn off the TV so it doesn't stay on all night, or wake you up in the morning.
• Multi-lingual on-screen displays in English, Spanish or French.

lt also offers support for a range of Samsung MP3 players and other portable digital audio devices, with an RS-232 port enabling you to navigate the player's content on-screen with the LCD remote by connecting the device to the TV via an RS-232 cable (included). And Samsung worked closely with Microsoft to create a special Game Mode that optimizes image quality, sound and response time for more realistic video game play--with just a single touch of a button. The Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up the image processing response and enhances the sounds of your games.

You'll enjoy 480p, 720p and 1080i high-definition viewing right out of the box thanks to the built-in digital ATSC tuner, which pulls HD signals right from the airwaves. You can also connect the set to an optional receiver or cable/satellite set-top box using either the dual HDMl or single component connections. A standard analog NTSC tuner receives standard-definition (SD) programming.

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. This set utilizes Samsung's Dual Acoustic Chamber System technology, which isolates each woofer and tweeter in its own chamber. DACS is a revolutionary, computer-simulated technology that enhances low-range sound performance, sharpens mid-to-high-range sound quality, and improves overall sound clarity. lt produces 10 watts of power per channel (for 20 watts total). lt 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
• HDMl: 2 inputs
• PC: 1 D-Sub15 input
• RF: 2 inputs
• Sound monitor output: 1
• Digital optical audio output: 1
• Headphone: 1 (side)
• RS232 port: 1

Tech Talk
HDMl is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link any audio/video source (such as a set-top box, DVD player, or AV receiver) with your TV--all over a single cable. lt provides up to a 5 GB per second bandwidth for transmitting pure digital video and audio signals with no degradation in the transfer. lt can carry up to eight discrete audio channels, making it compatible with 7.1-channel surround sound systems. Signals are encrypted with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) to prevent recording. HDMl is fully backward-compatible with most DVl connections .

TruSurround XT audio adds three new audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

• Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into ÒfocusÓ 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 W0W 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.

Buyer's feedback: - Vexed
Purchased this TV January 2007. It was fine while it lasted. In July 2008, the picture and sound vanished. The Samsung authorized repairman ordered a circuit board 7/10. It has been 6 weeks and the only response the technician gets from Samsung is "It's on back order." I've never had a problem with a TV so quickly. I've never had a repair move so slowly. Samsung customer service is disappointing. And, the repair will be pricey, if it ever happens.

Talked to Samsumg Customer Service today, 8/21, and they were attentive. The part is on Nationwide back order. Attentive but they can't do anything about it. Seems this isn't unusual. I thought it was. It should be.

I bought this TV about a year ago. I love the picture, input & outputs, and general performance. Since that time, I've suffered a large hearing loss, and I've discovered that this set doesn't offer Closed Captioning processing with HDMI inputs. I don't know if that's a typical deficiency for other HD sets, but it has become a serious deficiency for me. Oherwise, I really like the TV, and it would have received five stars.

Buyer's feedback: - A good TV
I use this TV mainly for TV viewing so how it functions as a monitor or gaming device isn't something I would know about. It's my first experience with LCD and I actually went to Circuit City to look at in the store.

The picture is amazing especially in HD. I've watched Discovery's Planet Earth on it and sometimes you feel like you are in the picture. Regular stations are clearer also but you have to stretch it, if you want full screen. Nothing I can't live with.

The best part of LCD is that in a bright room with lots of glare, the picture stands up perfectly. When I first got it, I played a lot with the different types of picture: Dynamic in bright light, Movie at night, etc. but eventually it didn't seem to matter that much.

Overall a great TV. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
