Samsung LNT4669 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review
December 7th, 2009
Samsung LNT4669 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV Review from Briddell. A great “Unknown” TV, After much research, we purchased the 4669 from Amazon. The TV is spectacular. We also considered the 4671 and the Sony XBR4. The 4669 was our choice because we have a window facing the TV and glare would be a serious issue. The matte screen does a good job of diffusing direct sunlight, and lights on in the room are not even noticeable on the screen. The XBR4 was simply not worth the extra money.
We have the TV attached to a Multidirectional HDTV Antenna, the “DB2″ sold by Antennas direct on amazon. In the Washington DC area we get several 1080i HD channels over the air and a number of digital 720p and 480i channels. The 1080i content looks excellent on the 4669. The other channels that are digital look only good.
The TV is also attached to a Playstation 3. When playing 1080p Blu-ray HD movies or video games, the 4669 will simply knock your socks off. The colors, contrast, and black levels are superior to just about every other current HDTV on the market. Normal DVDs, when upconverted by the PS3 to 1080p, look almost as good as Blu-ray. As with most HDTVs, the higher quality feed you give the 4669, the better the image looks.
While there have been complaints about the 120Hz processing software in the 4671 and now 4669, i found that setting the feature to low or medium makes fast motion look good with no stutter or triple ball effect (TBE).
One aspect i didn’t really understand about this TV before we bought it is the huge amount of flexibility one has in fine tuning the picture using the on-screen menu settings. There are a TON of tuning options. I found myself spending more time messing around with all the settings than actually enjoying the movies was watching. While all the settings make it possible to have total control over the image, i suggest looking on avsforum for some calibration suggestions.
The TV was delivered in 5 days by Eagle USA. The delivery folks were very helpful and polite. I did contact Eagle and scheduled a delivery time, and doing so knocked about 5 days off the scheduled delivery date per amazon.
The bottom line:
You will be very pleased with this TV. If you do not want the shiny screen of the 4671, and still want a high-end LCD for a reasonable price, get the 4669.
