 The best blacks of any LCD TV Feb 29, 2008
By Josh Wardell
"jwardell"
Samsung's highest-end 81 series of LCD televisions are the very first to incorporate a backlight made of hundreds of LEDs instead of the usual fluorescent tubes. The many benefits are immediately visible in its amazing contrast and color quality that finally matches that of plasma screens. Many reviews all agreed this is the best LCD they've seen, and in my own purchasing research it is very easy to see its quality next to others in the store, and ultimately that is why I bought this over any other model.
By selectively varying the brightness of each backlighting LED, the TV is able to have a much larger range from black to white, achieving a contrast ratio never seen before by an LCD.
In addition, LEDs produce a purer white, and allow the screen to display a wider range of colors (color gamut) than any fluorescent-backlit LCD.
Finally, the LEDs can be flashed at a very high rate of speed to improve upon the 8ms response time of the LCD itself, matching or beating the motion of 120 Hz panels.
Meanwhile, the TV uses much less electricity as a plasma and even other LCDs, and should be immune to any burn-in and lifetime issues associated with plasmas.
The TV has everything else you would expect at this high end: A spectacular LCD panel with very little off-axis brightness change, Three sets of HDMI and analog inputs, and of course a beautiful deep black glossy bezel and stand.
If you're looking for where to start with color settings, start with Movie mode, Warm 1 color, and a gamma of -3.

Amazing TV - don't be fooled by older versions Dec 26, 2007
By R. D. Mann
while the LNTXX-71F series was great, this newer version is MUCH BETTER. Utilizing LEDs to light the LCD panel, the blacks are much deeper and darker, the response time is fantastic and motion blur is a thing of the past for this LCD TV.
Substitute XX with 40, 46 or 52 for the available sizes and order this today. I have had this for a few days and it has already blown away my Plasma TV (two years old).

Samsung 4081 TV Apr 03, 2008
By B. Stevens
This TV is simply amazing. I pretty much never leave a review on an item I purchased even if I love it. But this has prompted me to do so. That LCD blur is pretty much no existant on this tv. This is the deepest black and the whitest white that I've ever seen. It's so black that it appears that the TV is off!! Outstanding colors. You will need an ultra-high speed cable to see where this TV blows others away. It is still amazing without Hi-Def signal and even using the regular A/V inputs. But why spend this kind of money if you can't fully utilize this TV's abilities.

 Nice LCD but not impressed.... Aug 23, 2008
By Capt08
This LCD has the black glossy look, the touch sensor which turns on the LCD, and of course the crispy look of the HD channels. The only thing that killed this LCD to me is the LED Motion Plus which states that it works as well as the other 120Hz LCD's. It doesn't. When an object is moved at a fast pace it breaks up. I see all of the "Judder" of the image. Disappointing. I also see banding which also bites. I've also tested it out by buying three pairs of HDMI cables, one was 2.2 Gbps, one was 5 Gbps and the other was 10 Gbps thinking it was the cabling. All showed the same disappointing problems. I then bought a monster surge suppressor with EMI protection to see if my power socket was giving "dirty" power. That wasn't the case. I can't see how people here say those things are non-existent. It's clearly visible. Maybe they need to watch some sport channels to see those flaws. This TV is great if you don't watch sports and don't mind the breakups of fast moving objects. Everything else the LCD offers is outstanding. Great color, crispyness, outside look, the LED backlight which gives the nice black background and of course the $1599 price tag with free shipping. If this LCD had the 120Hz I would of kept it instead of sending it back. I'm now going for the Samsung LN40A750 which has the 120Hz.

Best LCD TV on the market today May 29, 2008
By K. Tse
I have the TV for 2 weeks now. It is the best TV I have - great picture and easy to set up I also noticed that the MSRP of the TV is only $1999. It was $2999 about a month ago. If you can get it for less than $2000, you won't be sorry.
