The Samsung LN32B460 32 Inch 720p LCD HDTV - An Explanation of 720p Technology

By Phil Edgar

When it comes to picture and audio quality, the Samsung LN32B460 32 inch LCD HDTV is top of the line. It's been flying off the shelves in record breaking numbers since its release in the spring of 2009.

If you are new to shopping for HDTVs, then you probably won't, like most shoppers, know what one or two technical features actually are. So what exactly is 720p technology?

The number 720 stands for the number of horizontal scan lines of display resolution or 720 pixels of vertical resolution. The letter p stands for progressive scans.

Any 720p HDTV will provide nothing but first class, crystal clear pictures. A typical 720p HDTV with 16:9 widescreen resolution has a vertical resolution of 720 pixels and a horizontal resolution of 1280 pixels. That gives you 921,600 pixels altogether.

The more pixels your TV has the better. If you were to compare an old camera phones images with the images of a top of the line digital camera, the difference would be clear. The digital camera's images would be much sharper and clearer. That's because a digital camera's images have many more pixels on them - the same principal goes for HDTVs.

This model has lots of other great features to boast about. One of these features is its SRS TruSurround HD technology. This ensures that you get clear dialogue, high frequency detail and rich bass sounds, helped by its two 10 watt speakers.

This Samsung model also comes with a game mode feature. The game mode is specially tailored for video gaming by enhancing certain audio features and colors. It also speeds up the image processing response time which helps to fight motion blur when it comes to action or sports games. This is all controlled via a touch of a button on your remote control.

For anyone who's thinking of buying the Samsung LN32B460 32 inch 720p LCD HDTV I would highly recommend they order from a reputable online retailer. I ordered mine from the net and had it delivered for free three days later. I also got a better deal than I would have at my local electronics store (probably because the online retailer doesn't have to pay for high street rent or floor staff). - 30542
