Amazon.com Product Description
For anyone looking for a great value on a 720p HDTV, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4042H 40-inch flat-panel LCD is an excellent choice. As Samsung's entry level 40-inch LCD, it offers a 7000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 170-degree viewing angle, an 8ms response time panel, 3 HDMI inputs, and SRS TruSurroundXT from two side speakers. Between the design update, the aditional connections, and improved contrast ratio this model represents a distinct improvement on the popular comperable 40-inch Samsung from 2006 (LNS4041D).
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.
- Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
- TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
- The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

OK With Standard Definition.......2007-12-07
My need was simply for a flat panel TV that I could hang on the wall...a tube TV and stand would take up too much floor space. So, High Definition (HD) was not important to me. But, just try to find a flat panel that is not HD...nearly impossible.
I have this TV hooked up to a satellite service that is broadcasting in Standard Definition (SD) and connected by a coaxial cable. I have left my tube TV hooked up beside this TV for comparison purposes. So, my observations are based upon a side-by-side comparison of a 27" tube TV and this 40" flat panel. I have the flat panel set to the 4:3 picture size, since my reception is in SD. So, the picture sizes of these 2 TVs are very close.
Satellite Service - Standard Definition (SD) - Coaxial Connection Pros and Cons
Pros: More vibrant colors than the tube TV, although skin tones were difficult to tune in...it is possible, but requires some patience. Picture is much brighter than the tube TV, though this is adjustable to suit your needs. Stationary images are significantly clearer than the tube TV. Far away movement has similar clarity as the tube TV.
Cons: Close up images that are moving, especially faces, are somewhat choppy in motion, blurry and grainy. I have found myself adjusting to this so it is not quite so annoying...some people have not even noticed it. Difficult to tune in skin tones. Picture is quite grainy all over, at a viewing distance of 5 feet or less...over 5 feet, this is not a problem.
Since this TV has 2 coaxial inputs, I was able to connect a "bow-tie" antenna and pick up a couple of Over The Air (OTA) HD signals. So, I am able to compare HD pictures to SD pictures.
Over The Air Antenna (OTA) - High Definition (HD) - Coaxial Connection Pros and Cons
Pros: Everything is quite clear and detailed. The "cons" listed above do not exist if you have a program that was recorded in HD and the signal is also in HD.
Cons: None
Keep in mind, with any HD TV, even though the broadcast signal may by coming into your TV as HD, that doesn't mean the program was actually recorded in HD. So, the quality of the image is at the mercy of the quality of the recording as well as the broadcast signal.
Sound: In the store, with other TV's broadcasting the same sound, this TV sounded rather impressive when the volume was increased. But, in my home, it does not seem quite as impressive. It does have a few different sound settings as well as a customizable equalizer, which allows for personal preference. The sound is not bad, just not the same as in the store, perhaps the other TV's had some impact on the overall sound. Or, maybe the connection (coaxial vs. HDMI) and the broadcasting format has some impact as well. I'm not sure exactly why it is less impressive.
Overall:
SD is slightly better than the tube TV...acceptable, not impressive. But keep in mind, this TV is not designed for SD either.
HD is noticeable clearer than SD. But, for my needs, not enough to make me rush out and get HD service from my satellite company.
If HD is not important, and you can spare the floor space, save yourself a lot of many and get a tube TV with a digital and analog tuner. Though these are slowly disappearing and there are few models to choose from.
If you want to see how good this picture is with ideal recordings, signal and connections, just visit your local electronics store. In this ideal situation, the picture is incredible, better than most...even some of those with 1080i resolution.
searching for info.......2007-12-04
this samsung is a great tv I just want to know if anyone has a problem with the tv going to mute by itself watching a dvd or high def program.
if this has happen to you what did the repairman say was the problem.
BEST 720p TV on the market. Incredible Picture and GOOD Price range!.......2007-11-14
This TV is Perfect for what it is advertised to do. I compared this TV and a 1080p next to each other in the store and there was absolutely no difference and I was 2 feet away from each TV.
Some reviewers complain about it looking so much better in the store and the stores have fake High Def signals going to the TVs to make them look better. This TV looked just as good in my home than it did in the store. REMEMBER that in order to get the High Def from a DVD player or other Video source, you need to use a HDMI cable which you can get here on Amazon for only a few dollars or in store for about $39. All these complainers have to do is read the instructions to realize that a HDMI cable is what is needed for the high def.
It is also worth getting a DVD player that will up-convert your older DVDs to High Def. I highly recommend the Samsung 1080p7 DVD player which costs only $89. Make sure that you get a HDMI cable at the same time or you will not get the better picture.
AWESOME TV and well worth the money!!!
I almost forgot to mention that this TV has a USB port. The port is great for firmware/software upgrades when new firmware comes out on a regular basis. Check Samsungs website regulary as they are great for their customer service and product support.
Awesome HDTV.......2007-10-17
I'm not knowledgeable at all when it comes to tech/gadget stuff. Fortunately I have a ton of friends that are.
So I got this Samsung 40" & its great. I chose LCD over plasma because the screen wasn't shiny & it reduces a bunch of glare plus I didn't want to take any chances with burn-in or whatever.
The contrast/color is great & the speakers on the tv are totally decent. I have no need to bother with a speaker system. Saved me a lot of time & space & no wires running around my walls. :)
Amazon's Super-saver shipping is great as well. They use Eagle & they're amazing. Got my TV a few days before the scheduled delivery.
I love this HD/LCD television.......2007-10-17
This is my second Samsung LCD television as I first bought a LN-T1954H 19 inch Samsung for my motor home. I was so impressed with that picture and many features that I wanted a 40 inch LCD for my home. If there are any flaws, I certainly haven't found them. I cam completely satisfied with my purchase.
