Samsung LNT4065F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review

Samsung LNT4065F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review from Jack Bourne. It’s not a plasma?, I had recently purchased the Samsung LN-S4095D 40″ 1080p LCD HDTVfrom Amazon, but it had a good amount of back light issues exactly like the Sony XBR’s. I have read that it sometimes goes away by itself after a few weeks of use. But after 3 weeks it was still cloudy. I shipped it back and received a full refund. I’d heard that the LNT-series of Samsung’s were coming out in March and that the problem had been resolved. After many in store demo’s at BB and CC by asking the sales associates to hook up a blu-ray 1080p DVD (luckily they all had “Happy Feet” so they were exactly the same movie compared) I product tested the Samsung LNT4061F 40″ 1080p LCD HDTV, the LNT4065F, and LNT4066. Along with two Sony’s that caught my eye Sony KDL-40XBR2 40″ Bravia XBR 1080p LCD HDTV,Sony KDL-40V2500 40″ Bravia V-Series 1080p LCD HDTV. All were within my price range. But the Sony V2500 wasn’t even close to standing with the Samsung LNT’s. The XBR2 is great, but watch out for clouding which Sony will NOT admit is a problem, I recommend googling the XBR clouding problem before buying from SONY. If you’re looking for the best all around TV (price, sound, picture quality, no CLOUDING, hook-up versatility(3x HDMI)) then the LNT4065 is the perfect TV for you. It has hidden side speakers that sound very rich and full. If you already have a sound system and prefer a matte finish to your TV get the LNT4061. The LNT4061 has poor sound from its hidden bottom speaker, but the matte screen is excellent to prevent glare. The LNT4065 has a semi-gloss screen, which makes the 15K:1 contrast ratio look amazing! I haven’t had any glare problems at all. The only difference between the LNT4065 and LNT4066 is that the 66 has a different chasis. The internals are all the same. I’ve confirmed this through extensive research. The 65 has buttons on the top of it, while the 66 has pressure sensitive buttons on the bottom left corner. Not worth the extra money to me. PS2 and Gamecube games look fantastic on it. I don’t have a Wii or PS3 to try on it yet, but I’ll submit another review when I do. This TV is so versatile. So many features for sound, gaming, and picture quality. You can adjust everything you want. LCD is the only way to go, with this TV you get the CR of plasma without the ghosting! This is the TV to buy!
Big plus to Amazon. I bought the TV for $2199 and saw that a week later it was 1905 and they refunded the difference.
JUNE 5, 2007 UPDATE: I purchased a PS3 and a Wii and both look fantastic! The 1080p HDMI 1.3 look crystal clear, I’ve played Fear(720p), and Ninja Gaiden (1080p). The 1080p upconverting that the PS3 does with the recent firmware upgrade makes all of my regular DVD’s look great, and my PS2 games look just as good. The Wii only uses RCA but it looks great with 480i. Zelda and the Wii Sports look fantastic. Having three HDMI ports really comes in handy with a PS3 and DirecTV (HDMI 1080i).
