HDMI CEC

Consumer Electronics Control (CEC), helps you control components that are connected via HDMI cables with just one remote. That means you get one-touch play and record, and the ability to turn your DVD Player off and on without hunting for the right remote. Just set up the HDMI CEC in each component's menu, and you're ready for universal access.

ENERGY STAR 3.0

The green energy standard has been raised, thanks to revisions to ENERGY STAR's requirements for television sets. It used to be that TVs were tested according to how much power they consumed when in standby mode. Now, televisions must be rated according to the power they consume at their highest use when they are on. And Samsung has risen to the occasion. Meeting ENERGY STAR 3.0 guidelines, the LN46B550 exceeds standards for "power on" certification. That means you save money on your energy bill, and contribute to a greener environment. And Samsung's commitment to Green doesn't stop there. The backlight contains no mercury, the television is lead free, and the manufacturer even uses less packaging.

Don't forget the cables!

If you are using a Blu-ray player, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people don't realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the picture or sound isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking: "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and it's hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your HDTV.
