Samsung LNT4061F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Review


The PIP only works with analog input and now that locals are digital that’s a weakness of the set. I have Directv and they don’t carry all the added local channels, and that makes the PIP virtually useless. Apparently there is so solution with older sets that don’t have two ASTC tuners. They obviously had plenty of notice that this was coming, so they were remiss in not providing for it. It would have been worth the few dollars more it would have cost! Other than that, it’s a great set and haven’t had one problem in two years.

Samsung LNT4061F 40-Inch 1080p LCD HDTV Specifications

For people looking to step up to full 1080p resolution in a 40-inch flat-panel LCD, Samsung’s 2007 model LNT4061FF is a good choice. Besides offering full 1080p resolution the LNT4061F also features a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for rich blacks and subltle texture display, an 8ms response time panel for smooth motion, hidden side speakers, an NTSC tuner, and 3 HDMI ports.

Compared to other Samsung Models
The primary differences between Samsung’s LNT4061F and the LNT4065F LCD HDTV is in the contrast ratio and video processing power. The pricier LNT4065F offers a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio compared to this model’s 10,000:1 ratio, and also offers full 10bit video processing over this model’s 8 bit system. The more expensive model should display finer gradients of shading making for more detail in darker scenes. The video processing difference should ensure smoother motion in fast moving scenes for the LNT4065F.

Video Processing
The Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe) Video Enhancer refines all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, picture detail and incorporates digital noise reduction to improve lower quality video inputs. The 3D Y/C digital comb filter constantly analyzes the three dimensions of picture height, picture width, and picture changes-over-time to dramatically reduce edge image artifacts while improving transition detail.

Audio Features
High-quality virtual surround sound can be experienced with just the speakers built into the TV. SRS TruSurround XT technology delivers an amazing, simulated 3D effect with clear dialog and powerful bass through hidden side speakers. TruSurround XT audio adds three audio enhancement technologies to produce an amazingly immersive sound experience.

  • Dialog Clarity brings movie dialog into Focus during the playback of any surround-encoded material to make speech much clearer and crisper.
  • TruBass creates incredible deep rich bass allowing a person to perceive significantly deeper, richer low bass tones that are far beyond the physical low frequency capabilities of the speaker itself.
  • The SRS WOW feature widens the soundstage by processing standard two-channel stereo material as well as multi-channel encoded material for a dramatic improvement in the playback of any stereo audio over a two-speaker system.

Turning on TV problem – Samsung Loser – Oneida, NY, USA
I have had this Samsung HDTV (LN-T4061F)for just under two years, and after paying the amount of money I did, I would have expected to have my TV for more years without a problem. But I do have a big problem with not being able to turn the TV on, just sits there and clicks, it used to come on after 5 or 10 minutes of clicking, but now it doesn’t even come on. I have read that the problem is probably the capacitors on the power supply board and that Samsung knew about the problem but because it is out of warranty, they won’t fix it. I just think that Samsung knowing about the problem should pay to get it fixed.

I will never buy a Samsung product again! – Smooth – Michigan, USA
After 3 months of ownership, I experienced burn-in on the screen from not watching standard def TV stretched to the width of the entire screen. I do not like watching things out of proportion. It’s annoying. Also, I have a full-time job so it’s not like the TV was on 24/7. In any regard, I thought LCDs weren’t prone to the burn-in issue, though after talking to the Samsung technician, I found this is not uncommon.

I called Samesung and they had someone out to fix it. First, Samsung came to my house and replaced the main circuit board (like a motherboard in a PC). I had to argue with the technician that this hadn’t fixed the issue. He was trying to tell me the lines showing up on my widescreen movies and tv shows (where the 4:3 screen cut off on the widescreen), was acceptable wear AFTER 3 MONTHS!!! For some reason the tech was really worried I was going to call Samsung again, so a week later, they replaced the screen. This fixed the issue. The technician told me to stretch the screen and watch things out of proportion for standard def and non-widescreen shows and movies or I’d experience the burn-in again.

10 months later (15 days out of the one-year warranty), the on/off switch went haywire. It was like trying to start an old car. It kept clicking, and clicking. After around 20-30 clicks, it would finally turn on.

I called Samsung. After much discussion, they basically told me “too bad, so sad.” They would not put me through to a supervisor when I asked them to. I basically got no resolution.

I just spent 5 at a local Samsung-certified repair shop to have the switch fixed. So, when I bought this television, it was right around 00. After 1.25 years, I spent and additional 22.5% in repairs. Granted, it was 15 days out of warranty, but the company doesn’t stand by a 00 product. That is a lot of money to spend for junk construction. Too bad I didn’t know it was junk before I bought it.

Because of this television and my experience with Samsung, I will never buy a Samsung product again.

After Two Years Black Death – Robert Macaluso – USA
I purchased my Samsung 40″ LCD LNT- 4061F in June 2007 for $[...]. Last week I started experiencing issues with the TV recycling itself, turning on and off repeatedly. Now all I see are vertical white lines, “that is when the TV actually stays on!”. I called tech support and I was walked thru all the steps necessary to recycle the TV to fix the problem, no such luck! I I did a little Goggling only to discover many other Samsung owners with the exact same issue. So I called Samsung again explaining that this problem seems to be wide spread and if they were aware of the problem and possibly willing to work with those effected. The answer was no and no. So here I wait for the service company to call me back to schedule my [...] buck look-see. This will be my last Samsung purchase EVER!!!
