Picture quality to be rivaled with

Watching TV and movies has never been this engaging. With a 40" screen, 1080p resolution, and a 20,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, you'll get the total high-definition experience you've been waiting for. Plus, you'll be amazed at the razor-sharp picture and crisp, crystal-clear sound. Need to connect your MP3 player or camcorder? Three HDMI inputs make it easy. Turning your high-definition dreams into a reality has never been easier with the SAMSUNG LN40A530 LCD TV.

12000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights in this LCD TV. Watch movies and shows come to life with enhanced details in very dark or bright scenes. Enjoy a more realistic, sharper picture quality that's sure to catch your eye.

SRS TruSurround XT
SAMSUNG TVs are equipped with the best that technology can offer in sound quality. Our 2 speakers always deliver an enhanced, virtual surround-sound listening experience that brings your HDTV experience to another level.

Wide Color Enhancer
Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of colors than you ever thought possible.

5ms Response Time
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 5ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

ENERGY STAR Compliant
By being ENERGY STAR compliant you are assured that your SAMSUNG model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.

"Contemplating whether size matters; the size of our wallets or the size of the television? This decision did not come easy. It was after 6 months of research before we ended up buying the smaller television which was this one, instead of the 46 inch, because it was cheaper and it fitted perfectly into my 02 Celica. After unboxing it, we plugged in the power cord and the cable and it took about 10 minutes to scan..." Read Full Review »

Excellent if "S" but watch out for "C" and "A"

"After doing quite a bit of research to try and figure out why my picture was not up to snuff I came across some interesting information regarding Samsung LCD panels. It turns out that not all Samsungs are made by Samsung! There are "S", "A", and "C" version codes (located on the side of your panel between the Model# and Serial#). The "S" version is the highest quality and the panel is made by Samsung themselves,..." Read Full Review »

"The picture quality of the ln40a530 is excellent but I have one small gripe. In a sunlit room the black bars at the top and bottom of a film appear almost as black as the frame around the screen. However, in a dark room the black bars are noticeably lighter than the true black of the frame. This may …" Read Full Review »

"This TV has a lot of good features. I have a 50" Panny Plasma which has a picture that is a lot better than this Samsung.
