SAMSUNG FLAT PANEL TV - FAQ

Samsung flat panel tvs have become exceptionally popular recently for their cutting edge technology, their gorgeous picture, their overall style as a part of your room’s decorating, and for their relative affordability when compared to other leading brand name TVs. That being said, you may have many questions about this technology. Use the following to learn more about Samsung flat panel TV performance and quality:

Why Choose A Samsung Flat Panel TV?

The reason that so many people are opting for a Samsung flat panel tv above the rest is because they have earned their way to the top of the television technology marketplace. Consumers and editors alike are giving this brand top ratings in terms of their stylishness, appeal, quality and crispness of picture, features, and overall satisfaction with the product. The company consistently remains at the very height of the latest technology and is able to deliver it to their customers without being cost prohibitive.

What Is Better, LCD or Plasma?

Though the decision is ultimately up to you, there are some significant advantages to buying LCD over plasma. For one thing, plasma technology is much more susceptible to burn-in, it generates more heat, it uses significantly more power, they don’t work well at higher altitudes, they experience notable glare in brighter rooms, and the device is heavier.

LCD televisions, on the other hand, do not experience burn-in, they don’t have as much glare in brighter rooms, they work better at higher altitudes, they run at lower temperatures and use less electricity, and they have a longer life overall.

What Does 1080p Mean?

When it comes to selecting an HDTV flat panel, the 1080p designation refers to the number of pixels which, at this level is full high definition. 1080p is the short name for saying that the resolution of the picture is comprised of 1920 vertical pixel lines and 1080 horizontal pixel lines for a total of 2,073,600 pixels. The "p" is short for "progressive scanning" and is just techie talk for how your HDTV translates the HD signal into the images you see on screen

Is An LCD TV Automatically High Def?

Though the majority of LCD HDTV flat panel televisions are indeed high definition, they do not automatically have this designation. Some of the very small Samsung flat panel tv screens may not be able to achieve high def. This is because to truly be HD, you need to have at least 720 lines, and screens that are very small cannot contain that many lines. Compare that to the much denser 1080p, which has a whopping 50% more lines, and you can understand why consumers are willing to pay a little more for superior life-like picture quality.

Can I Use My Samsung Flat Panel TV As A Computer Monitor?

Since LCD televisions are so large and have such clear displays, they become attractive to many – especially PC gamers – for use as a computer monitor. The good news is that the majority of LCD TVs do indeed have VGA (that is, computer monitor) input connections which makes them easy to hook up to a PC. So, yes, you can use your Samsung flat panel tv for this purpose.

Connecting it this way lets you play your favorite games with an incredible image and integrate your game into your home theatre system for excellent sound to match the picture. However, if your HDTV flat panel set is larger than 32 inches, you can enjoy an impressive computer screen for surfing the internet and performing other tasks as well.
