Samsung LN-S4695D 46-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV
Awesome TV!
Bought the TV a week back after months of agonizing over Sony XBR and Samsung, and I am glad of the choice I made. It's probably the best LCD tv I came across with eye-opening contrast. The picture is exceptionally clear, even for the SD programs. Obviously, I can't test 1080p, but its a probably a good thing to have for 'future-proofing'. ( I did see a Samsung demo of 1080p on this model...its quite impressive).The native resolution of 1920x1080 also works great for connecting to PC. Movie Picture mode produces great black levels comparable to Plasmas.  <br /> <br />Advantages - <br />1. Great looking - elegant. <br />2. 1080p with 1980x1080 native resolution. <br />3. Great dynamic contrast ratio - 6000:1 <br />4. Separate Game mode. <br />5. Great even for SD.  <br />6. 8 ms response time  <br />7. less expensive than XBR. <br /> <br />Disadvantages - <br />1. The only difference I could think of between Bravia XBR and this one is 2 HDMI inputs instead of 3 for BRAVIA. Not a big deal for me. <br /> <br />Overall - I love it.
