Samsung Series 4 (B460) 720p HD LCD HDTV Review


Samsung Series 4 (B460) HD (1366 x 768 pixels) resolution LCD HDTVs provide an impressive high definition picture which in certain viewing conditions appears as equally detailed as Full HD (1080p) . The B460 models have a solid performance specification including a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio – the foundation for picture quality. The comparatively fast 6ms response time works to remove any blurring and smooth motion of fast moving on-screen action as found in sports and action movies. Connectivity options include three HDMI 1.3 ports.

There are three B460 models; the 32 inch LN32B460, 26 inch LN26B460 and the 22 inch LN22B460. They can be distinguished quite easily from other Samsung LCD HDTV models as they have a black bezel surrounding the display apart from the bottom and neck which are transparent for an appealing modern look.

Other Features Samsung series 4 (B460)

Wide Color Enhancer: Samsung’s HDTVs have a powerful video processor and in for the 550 models this is augmented with Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer which optimizes each hue for rich, natural colors.

Built-in Tuners: The 460 models have digital and analog tuners as well as a QAM digital cable tuner for watching unscrambled channels without a separate set-top box.

It will handle up to seven (5.1) audio channels. Sound playback can be customized using one or the preset modes which include Standard (factory settings), Music, Movie, Clear Voice and Custom (5 band equalizer adjustment).
