LED picture quality

Gorgeous all-round, your UN40B6000 1080p LED HDTV boasts edge-lit LED technology. While in LCDs and backlit LEDs, the light comes from behind the screen, edge-lit models, like this one, shine from the edges. This creates more precise colors, deeper dark areas, brighter light areas, and as much as 40% less energy consumption. Now for the high definition images, Samsung LED technology enables a true-to-life range of picture brightness from pure blacks to pristine whites. Features like Enriched Color Expression deliver advanced processing that ensures every image is as vibrant and colorful on screen as it was when it was filmed.

Ultra-slim design Touch of Color

Suited to your high-quality lifestyle, the UN40B6000 comes equipped to impress. Touch of Color (ToC) is a manufacturing process that infuses a rich red hue into the solid bezel during production, eliminating the need for paints or plastic veneers. With a Touch of Color, your Samsung TV will make a bold design statement hanging on your wall. The B6000 line is also the slimmest (1.2" depth) panel of any LED in the market and it includes a tuner and power cord (no external transceiver box) so your LED HDTV is clean and collected.

ENERGY STAR 3.0

All of Samsung's LED TVs contribute to the company's eco-friendly vision, consuming 40% less power than standard CCFL-backlit LCD TVs, far below the stringent ENERGY STAR version 3.0 requirements. ENERGY STAR's Version 3.0 institutes standards for "power on" certifications, which involve automatic light dimmers and a more responsive screen that adjusts to the brightness in the room. As a result, ENERGY STAR 3.0 certified HDTVS consume significantly less energy than their predecessors, saving you more money over time by virtue of the more efficient default settings. The TVs also use low electricity and contain no mercury or lead, while the neck and stand are made of eco-friendly materials. Furthermore, the slim lightweight design reduces packaging materials and transportation energies.

Infolink

Just in case you spend so much of your time with your new UN40B6000 that you forget to spend the appropriate amount of time surfing the web, Samsung has included the InfoLink RSS feature on this TV. You'll enjoy access to news, weather, sports, and stock information from reputable sources like USA Today and others right on your screen via RSS link. (requires internet connection). A USB 2.0 input lets you connect to MP3 players, a thumb drive, or a digital camera quickly and easily. And the smart, user-friendly interface allows you to access playlists and pictures via your remote.

HD connectivity

Video comes from more than one source these days, and that doesn't mean from two sets of rabbit ears rigged together atop your TV. No, video comes from DVD and Blu-ray, from cable and satellite, from the internet and from your camcorder or digital camera. With so many diverse sources, you need a diverse set of connectivity options . . . and the UN40B6000 delivers. Four HDMI inputs (described in detail below) provide optimal hi def connectivity, while one component-video input and one S-video input are great for DVD and VHS input. Use your new Samsung flat panel as a computer monitor for watching online content with a PC input, and hook up your portable media player, digital camera, or digital camcorder thanks to a Wiselink USB v2.0 port.

Auto Motion Plus 120Hz

120Hz image processing shows 120 frames per second, showing each film frame five times and each TV frame four times, allowing TVs to reproduce unconverted, evenly extrapolated 24 fps movie and 30 fps television programming. The UN40B6000's Auto Motion Plus 120 Hz technology virtually eliminates any motion blur and creates smooth transitions between frames. The result is a clearer picture you have to see to believe.

Sounds

Picture is only half of the high definition experience. Sound makes it complete. If you don't have the full surround sound setup, you can still get a rich sound from the UN40B6000 with its SRS TruSurround.  TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround-sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats up to 5.1 channels. Take full advantage of this virtual surround-sound experience with the UN3406000's built-in dual 10W speakers and integrated woofer.

Veritable viewing versatility

A variety of video content sources mean you have a variety of viewing needs. The UN40B6000's Entertainment mode allows customized picture settings, optimized for different content, such as sports, movies, or gaming. Picture-in-Picture (PIP) enables convenient simultaneous viewing of TV programs and video or PC sources. Finally, because your place will become the new favorite for movie night and game-day viewing, you'll need the UN40B6000's wide 178 x 178 degrees viewing angle to give everyone a clear view of all the excitement.
