Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
Slim, light, and beautiful, Samsung's 26-inch LNR2668W LCD TV combines sleek looks with high performance. This HDTV-ready set lets you enjoy not only regular TV, but HDTV images from any high- or enhanced-definition source, such as a DTV set-top box or a progressive-scan DVD player via a suite of state-of-the-art connections. The TV comes with a built-in NTSC tuner for capturing traditional broadcast signals, but would require a separate tuner, digital cable box, or HD tuner fro a satellite TV company to pull in high definition broadcasts. For a model with a built-in ATSC HD-tuner, see Samsung’s LN-R268W. This TV Samsung's Patterned Vertical Alignment (PVA) screen provides high brightness and amazingly rich contrast for lifelike images and realistic colors. A mere 3.7 inches thick without its detachable stand, the TV produces exciting, perfectly flat, images while occupying minimal space in your office, living room, bedroom, or kitchen.
The set boasts a 1,366 x 768 pixel resolution. Its widescreen, 16:9 aspect ratio matches the dimension of most movies and HDTV broadcasts, while its wide, 170-degree viewing angles (horizontal x vertical) ensures that everyone in the room will enjoy a great view, even when you've mounted the unit on a wall. A built-in brightness sensor automatically adjusts the TV's luminance for the ambient brightness of a given room.
| Samsung's DNIe™ Samsung's revolutionary DNle™ (click for demo) technology offers digital perfection in naturally presented, crystal-clear images that uncover even the most minute detail. |
 |
| Motion Optimizer Fast-moving images are optimized to produce more natural-looking motion, thus reducing video noise or blurring. |
 |
| Contrast Enhancer Brightness and contrast levels are enhanced for deeper, richer blacks with greater detail and more natural whites. |
 |
| Color Optimizer Colors are reproduced with a more lifelike realism, whites are more accurate, and skin tones are given a more natural hue. |
 |
| Detail Enhancer DNIe analyzes video signal elements to produce sharper detail, clearer image separation, and more natural edge transition. |
Onboard 10-bit processing produces 3.2 billion lifelike colors and aids in video signal processing for your analog sources. And with its lightning-quick 12 ms response time, astronomical 3,000:1 contrast ratio, impressive 500 cd/m2 brightness rating, and onboard 3D Y/C digital comb filter (which separates the color signals to minimize dot crawl and blurred edges), you'll see sharp, focused images regardless of their source.
LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life, space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be more affordable than their flat-panel plasma counterparts, which often (though not always) offer faster response times and higher contrast ratios.
The LNR2668W’s DNIe (Samsung Digital Natural Image engine) offers a vision of digital perfection in natural, crystal-clear images that reveal even the most minute detail. The process involves 4 key enhancements: contrast and brightness (for deep, rich blacks and natural whites), motion (which optimizes fast-moving images to produce natural-looking motion, reducing video noise or blurring), color (for lifelike realism, accurate whites, and skin tones with natural hues), and detail (DNIe analyzes video signals to ensure sharp detail, clear image separation, and natural edge transitions).
Samsung's patented My Color Control technology lets you control specific colors without affecting the whole screen. Samsung provides 6-color control selections: white, red, pink, yellow, green, and blue. It's your picture--you decide how it looks.
The LNR2668W makes flexibility a top priority, giving you several preset picture and sound modes (and custom settings for each). The TV also permits color temperature adjustment for warm, cool, or neutral tones, along with 4 onscreen languages to choose from (English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese). Choose one of several preset sound modes (standard, music, movie, speech, and custom) for broadcast through the set's built-in speakers (5 watts per channel x 2).
Connections include 2 component-video inputs (480i/480p/720p/1080i), a direct-digital HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), a PC input (15-pin D-Sub with minijack analog audio), 2 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 RF input, 5 attendant sets of stereo (left/right) RCA audio inputs, and 1 stereo RCA audio output. The set's Anynet (RS-232C) control option simplifies use with other Samsung audio/video components.
Other features include single-tuner picture-in-picture (view 1 TV channel and 1 input source simultaneously), a sleep timer, V-Chip parental control, closed captioning, and an auto volume leveler to minimize jarring differences in loudness between, say, TV programs and their commercials.
What's in the Box
TV, detachable stand (with screws), a remote control, remote batteries, an RF video cable, a user's manual, an Anynet AV manual, an AC power cord, a cover bottom, an Anynet cable, a cleaning cloth, and warranty information.

Wonderful TV,

This review is from: Samsung LNR2668W 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
I shopped for months and compared dozens of brands and models. This TV has a terrific picture, and decent sound. The average sound quality is no issue, because I use my entertainment system for that anyway. I considered spending more on a Sony, but opted for this set due to the price. I am glad. This performs as well as I could possibly hope. I feel the price of about $1100 was more than fair. In the future, I will consider Samsung as a first choice for elctronics, rather than a consolation. If you want performance, rather than a showy name, seriously consider this set.

Nice Purchase,

This review is from: Samsung LNR2668W 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
I was originally looking at projection televisions with 52" screens. I did not like the angle of viewing from these sets, not to mention I live on the second floor. So I considered a flat panel. I went with the Samsung for several reasons. First, the black frame is beautiful. Second, the picture is outstanding. Consider the 3000:1 ratio when purchasing a lcd tv. The colors are outstanding. The 26" is large enough to give you the widescreen flat tv effect. I have the unit in a bookcase that measures 29" wide, so it fits perfectly. I might add a wall mount in the future. Also, this set would make a very large pc monitor, although I will use it a my main tv. I purchased the extended warranty for this high end product.

Incredible!!,

This review is from: Samsung LNR2668W 26-Inch HD-Ready Flat-Panel LCD TV (Electronics)
I purchased this as a gift for my wife to be used as a PC monitor. My selection was based on quality only as price was not a deciding factor. I went to many retail stores and saw the TV in the TV isle, hooked up to an HDTV signal. I was hesitant to purchase because I was not planning on using this as a TV/HDTV monitor. However, after seeing how crisp and clear the picture was compared to all the other LCD TV's, I took a chance and purchased it and placed it under our tree for Christmas morning.
Setup was a breeze but took some effort that was not due to any flaw in the TV itself. The connection using the PC input for standard VGA (15 pin) cable was simple. The first test showed the display as normal aspect and not widescreen. I changed the TV to widescreen but the picture was "stretched" and did not look good. I played with the desktop settings (resolution) and could not find any that worked to my satisfaction. I then consulted the owners manual and it suggested using 1366 x 768 screen size. I did not have that resolution so I went to the video card website and downloaded the latest video driver for my wifes card. Once it was installed and the computer reset, I was staring at the most perfect picture I have ever seen for a computer monitor. The colors were bright, bold and vivid, there was no distortion or dot crawl. My wife and I surfed a few of our favorite sites and booted up a few of our favorite games. Each and everytime, we would look at each other and exclaim "THIS IS KEWL"! A fantastic picture quality!!! I am so happy with this purchase and the quality of the TV/monitor that I plan to replace my 21 Sony Trinitron CRT monitor with the Samsung LCD.
