Product Description

The Samsung LN46A850 is its absolute thinnest LCD (liquid crystal display) television available measuring in at only 1.9 inches thick, giving it not only a truly modern appearance, but also allowing it to fit neatly into a variety of spaces. With a 46 inch screen, it’s the ideal screen size for TV viewing anywhere from 5′9″ to 11′8″ away from the set.

The LN46A850 is a full hi-def TV at 1080p resolution, scanned progressively with a super-fast 4ms pixel-response time for a smooth, lifelike image. This 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution delivers the highest video resolution currently available. Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz frame-rate conversion technology delivers accurate reproduction of film-based content for a true home-theater experience. The color, brightness, and detail across the LN46A850’s 16:9 widescreen panel is further enhanced by a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) in combination with a wide color enhancer which optimizes color reproduction. At an amazing 50,000:1 contrast ratio you get deep color gradations with stunning details. You will also enjoy video from a variety of digital and analog sources thanks to a built-in image scaler and integrated ATSC and Clear QAM digital tuners.

Also included with the purchase of the Samsung 46″ LCD HD (high definition) TV is a swivel pedestal stand, the touch of color matching remote and regular remote control, and also a one year parts and one year labor warranty for consumers that includes toll-free phone support from Samsung.

And, if you’re concerned with the environment, this model of TV is Energy Star compliant and meets the strict guidelines in place by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Actual user review:
“I bought this bad boy last week from Amazon. It arrived in 4 days flat with their great delivery service. I decided to hang it up on our masonry fireplace. The 850 is special because it’s suer thin. 1.9″ at its thickest point. This makes wall mounting especially attractive. Throw in the excellent picture, and I’m on cloud nine.” – M.Bechtel (IL,USA)

Key Features

The flat panel Samsung 46″ LCD HDTV offers a huge variety of high-tech features and benefits that I couldn’t help but be impressed with, including the Touch of Color (TOC) proprietary manufacturing process that uses a technique involving color infused bezels. This new process, along with other features included like the aspect and contrast ratios, is said to offer picture quality that surpasses all others, and I can definitely say that I have never seen such rich colors before.

A rather useful feature of the Samsung LN46A850 makes it possible to stay informed of all the latest news, weather, sports, and even stock information thanks to the TV’s Ethernet port in conjunction with the Infolink’s RSS (Really Simple Syndication) service. You can even customize the items you want to see, and eliminate those you aren’t interested in. The PIP, or Picture in Picture feature of the TV allows you to keep an eye on the football game and not interrupt whatever show you may be watching at the time. And, for those of you with children, the TV is also equipped with a V-Chip system that allows you to block certain TV shows or movies you don’t want the kids to see.

The audio features of the Samsung LN46A850 46″ TV are as equally impressive as the visual ones on this model, most notably the SRS TruSurround XT audio system that provides a three dimensional wall of sound so that everyone in the room hears the same thing, and not just those sitting directly in front of the set.

For truly interactive television, this model also features a USB 2.0 port on its side, allowing you to listen to your MP3’s and view your JPEG picture files with the feature called WiseLink Pro.

Conclusion

With superb black-level performance, solid shadow detail and improved 120Hz dejudder processing, the Samsung LN46A850 is excellent value for money at current price levels.

“I purchased the LN46A850 after a lot of research. I looked at all the major brands and narrowed my search between Sony & Samsung. I’m normally a Sony person, but this time Samsung won out with what I feel is a superior product. This television puts out a fantastic picture and everything works great.” – D.Jones (USA)
