Full HD 1080p
1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes. The number "1080" represents 1,080 lines of vertical resolution (1080 horizontal scan lines), while the letter p stands for progressive scan (meaning the image is not interlaced). 1080p can be referred to as full HD or full high definition to differentiate it from other HDTV video modes.

Wide Color Enhancer2
The Wide Color Enhancer technology is exclusive to Samsung, which delivers more brilliant colors, even where blue and green bright areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens. Samsung's system displays wider color reproduction, showing you much truer colors such as the fresh green of spring foliage and the intense blue of the summer sky.

6ms response time
Response time is the amount of time a pixel in an LCD monitor takes to go from black to white and back to black again. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Lower numbers mean faster transitions and therefore fewer visible image artifacts.

Dynamic Contrast Ratio
The contrast ratio is a measure of a display system, defined as the ratio of the luminance of the brightest color (white) to that of the darkest color (black) that the system is capable of producing. A high contrast ratio is a desired aspect of any display, but with the various methods of measurement for a system or its part, remarkably different measured values can sometimes produce similar results.

Aspect Ratio: 16:9
The aspect ratio of a shape is the ratio of its longer dimension to its shorter dimension. It may be applied to two characteristic dimensions of a three-dimensional shape, such as the ratio of the longest and shortest axis, or for symmetrical objects that are described by just two measurements, such as the length and diameter of a rod.

SRS Tru Surround HD Sound system
Tru-Surround XT is a sound-scheme that has the ability to take multi-channel encoded sources and reproduce the multi-channel surround effect by just using two-speakers. More than a single technology, SRS Tru Surround XT is actually a suite of state-of-the-art SRS technologies that are combined into one multi-channel television solution.
