Combining multiple cutting-edge technologies, Samsung’s “81-Series” HDTVs have leapfrogged the competition to deliver a thrilling new level of LCD picture quality. These models replace the conventional bar-style fluorescent backlight with hundreds of LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). This LED backlighting system is the key to the LN-T4081F’s stunning picture.

LED backlighting extends LCD color range
Standard fluorescent LCD backlights can only reproduce about 72% of the broadcast TV color range. The colors that are lost are the deeper shades, especially reds and greens. Samsung’s LED backlight reproduces 92% of that color range. From the deep red of a “Stop” sign to the lush green of stadium grass, every scene looks more real.

LED SmartLightingâ„¢ enhances contrast and black level performance
Samsung’s SmartLighting technology is a whole new approach to LCD screen illumination (click on the “Photos + Video” tab above to see an illustration). On typical LCD TVs, the backlight illuminates the entire screen equally at all times, no matter what is happening in the video image. The LN-T4081F’s LED array is divided into a grid of independently controllable sections, to accurately display both dark and bright areas of an image. By taking advantage of the brightness and speed of LEDs, Samsung achieves a maximum contrast ratio of 500,000:1.

A wealth of high-def options
The LN-T4081F has tuners for pulling in analog and digital over-the-air broadcasts (antenna required). Cable TV subscribers can use the built-in “QAM” tuner to watch unscrambled cable channels without a set-top box. With three HDMI inputs and two component video, it’s easy to add multiple high-definition video sources like an HD satellite tuner or video game console. The set’s HDMI inputs accept 1080p signals like those available from many of the latest Blu-ray and HD DVD high-def disc players.
