Samsung LN40C630 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV (Black) Review
Samsung LN40C630 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV (Black) I went to Brandsmart, and I was expecting to buy a Sony BRAVIA EX 400 Series 40-Inch LCD TV, Black. The associate told me though it was a 1080p LCD, it was 60hz LCD. Therefore, it would not show as good as an LCD with 120hz. Then, I was looking at the LG 37LH30 37-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV, Gloss Black. It was very reasonable. However, it was a little out-dated. I was then looking at the Samsung. The associate told me it is the told me it was the top of the line. Of course, I know Samsung is a great brand, though I bought the LG 37LG30 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV last year because it was cheaper. When I bought that LCD, I knew it would not show as good, but it has been good enough.
While making a decision, I found that pixels AND the hertz DOES have an affect on how good an LCD resolution can be. The associate told me the difference between a 60hz and a 120hz LCD is an 120hz shows more of a live picture. This means, there is no blurriness on moving objects, and everything moves increasingly fast, as if in real time. When I hooked this LCD up, I noticed how sharp the moving objects were. It was unbelievable. All I could say was, "wow"! The subjects, and the movements are almost 3-D like. That is the best description, which I can give. While watching some movies, it actually felt as if I was on a live set. I no longer felt as if I was watching actual TV. This is thanks to the 120hz. The picture is one of the most amazing features I have ever seen on a TV, albeit the HD features. Right out of the box, it showed great. I had to make no adjustments. I also noticed how the LCD is user-friendly. Though I am pretty good with gadgets, I don't know what every feature means. At least, every feature has an explanation of what it is at the bottom of the screen. The sound it pretty good, as well. I could not say the same for the LG.
For those, who have a PS3 or Xbox 360, the Game Mode takes HD gameplay to a whole new level. The graphics, sound and movements are enhanced by the 120hz LCD. I highly recommend playing a 1st person shooter, such as Modern Warfare 2. I was playing a Team Deathmatch, and the sound is superb. While playing, I could clearly hear every footstep, which my team, nearby enemies, and I were making. The gunshots sounded a lot more crisp, and authentic. The gameplay experience has a lot more to offer on this LCD than playing on my LG. Also, be sure to switch the Game Mode off, prior to watching regular TV!!! If not, the screen will shake lightly per user manual.
Also, if you buy the LCD, it will seem as if it does not swivel. However, the LCD actually does. Prior to placing the LCD to the base, look at the base bottom. You will see some screws underneath. Take all, but one of the screws out. This keeps the swivel stand in place. You should now be able to spin the swivel stand. Then, put the same screws back into the base. The LCD will then be able to swivel. Overall, the Samsung is great. If you are looking for a top-notch LCD TV. Look no further than the Samsung LN40C630 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LCD HDTV (Black).
