Product brief
Description: The Samsung LN-T4042H is a 40-inch, liquid crystal display television.Compared to other liquid crystal display TVs on the market, it is midpriced at around $1,110.This flat-TV is an LCD display, which is generally the best kind of flat-panel screen for viewing in brightly-lit rooms.
Pros: With built-in HDTV compatibility, this unit can display images that are significantly sharper and more realistic than regular television, as long as the source is high definition.(It can easily render standard-resolution digital TV broadcasts and also depict the full resolution of widescreen DVD video.)The 3:2 pulldown feature of this TV reduces artifacts that can occur when motion pictures are transferred to a digital format such as DVD.
Cons: Has only a rear connector location.
Suitability: A liquid crystal display TV, suited for home entertainment as well as work place applications.In general, a wide aspect display such as this one is ideal for DVD movies recorded in the popular 16:9 format, as well as high definition programming.
Value: In general, this TV's features are as expected for this price.
