Review (October 12, 2009)

An ideal HDTV for smaller rooms, Samsung’s LN26B360 offers crisp, bold HD images. The 30,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 8ms response time and Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology help deliver an even more realistic picture quality. Its elegant “piano black” cabinet looks equally as amazing. With a variety of connections, including two HDMI inputs, and one PC input, easily connect digital devices such as a DVD player or PC.

Samsung TVs are equipped with impressive audio technology--built-in speakers deliver an enhanced, virtual surround-sound listening experience that brings your HDTV experience to another level.


8ms Response

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 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

Wide Color Enhancer 2

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 color than you ever thought possible.

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.


Game Mode

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.


Minimum size = Viewing distance/3

Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5
