101.6 cm (40 ") LCD Slimmer Bezel HDMI
With its smart black surround, the Samsung LE40A686M1 40” LCD HD ready digital TV really does look the business.
With an enormous contrast ratio of 50000:1 and 1080p Full HD, you’ll enjoy a fantastic picture, even in dark scenes. Four High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connections, all supporting v.1.3, make your TV a multimedia centrepiece.
Samsung’s LCD 100Hz converts the amount of images intelligently from 50 to 100 frames per second by inserting a frame between each two frames. This allows for smoother moving images during fast moving scenes, and will appeal to sports fans who don’t want to miss a thing when the action picks up.
An integrated digital tuner enables a wealth of extra channels, whilst a viewing angle of 178° allows you to enjoy your entertainment, whatever angle you’re watching from. SRS TruSurround produces a truly immersive surround sound effect.
The Samsung LE40A686M1 can also be connected to your computer and used as a PC monitor. Includes a swivel table-top stand.
This television is ‘high definition ready’ which means it has the ability to display high definition signals with the addition of a separate HD receiver. HD broadcasts are at a much higher resolution than regular analogue or digital broadcasts and have greatly enhanced picture quality. The level of detail is astonishing with clearer, sharper and more vibrant images.
1080p
1080p is the purest form of high definition that a television can display. This leads to a smoother, more film-like image, which will satisfy sports and movie lovers alike. With a 1080p signal, the information that makes up an image is displayed “progressively” or all at once, rather than in an “interlaced” fashion.
