Some of the great features include: HD-Grade 1366(H) x 768(V) Pixel Resolution, 3,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 500 cd/m˛ Brightness, Digital Cable Ready Tuner, Samsung DNIe™, 170°(H)/170°(V) Viewing Angle, Fast 8ms Response time,3D Y/C Digital Comb Filter, Brightness Sensor, SRS TruSurround XT™, HDMI, 2 Component Video, S-Video, PC Inputs,, Anynet™ System Control Solution,VESA® compatible, Antenna in 2, HDMI in 1, Component (Y/Pb/Pr) in 2(480i/480p/720p/1080i), S-Video in 1 Side/ 1 Rear, A/V (RCA) in 1Side / 1 Rear, PC input D-sub 15 and more.

The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time, to reduce dramatically edge image artifacts while improving transition detail. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass. “ I highly recommend it for features and performance.”
