Technical Features and Terms

When researching a television to buy it is quite common to come across technical terms and number series that are known only to those that are in the TV manufacturing, service and distribution industry.

We offer here a brief tutorial that is intended to help our visitors understand what things like “1080p” and “contrast ratio” mean. We hope you find our explanations helpful.

Full HD 1080P

Full HD, or 1080p, contains 1.5 times more scanning lines than conventional HD TVs. Just as in a digital camera a greater number of scanning lines refers to more pixels, which results in higher picture quality.

So the ‘p’ in 1080p refers to pixels. Simply put, the more pixels, the sharper, brighter and more crisp the picture will be.

Samsung LCD TVs boast resolution that is nearly 2 times greater than the average HDTV on the market today, resulting in superior picture quality.

Samsung’s 1080p panel utilizes a new high-speed liquid crystal to reduce image response time to 4ms, resulting in reduced motion blur and a more life-like picture.

30,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio

Dynamic Contrast Ratio as all about picture quality. The higher the dynamic contrast ration the crisper the images will be.

The two predominant factors that control picture quality are contrast and brightness. Superior contrast ratios result in whiter whites, blacker blacks and every single color gradation imaginable.

Digital Natural Image Engine

Operating in concert with the Dynamic Contrast Ratio is DNIe - The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. This proprietary Samsung technology greatly enhances the picture by improving both contrast and image detail.
