Still, the technology in the 81 series will likely guide future LCD development.]]>Oct 10th 2007 1:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/Oct 10th 2007 1:15PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/
Did you run any tests using standard definition content? It would be nice to know if you saw any problems while watching 480i video and film based material.

I eagerly await your review of the PDP-6010. I know several professional reviews have been published about its brethren, however I (and I suspect many others) want as much data as possible before they drop a bucket of cash on a Pioneer set. Plus its always nice to get opinions from viewers without $10k worth of test equipment.]]>Oct 10th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/Sorry, but I don't run any SD tests. I realize someone people would find it interesting, but you would never believe how long these things take to do and I am just not motivated enough to add SD to the list.

As for the 6010, man do I suck. I really need to get on that and I always feel obligated to do the loaner equipment first. Maybe I'll do it this week.]]>Oct 10th 2007 2:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/I am desperate to know if the 120Hz really made images smoother? On bluray/hd dvd playback, and over the air broadcasts? I have the LN40M86BDX, the first of this awesome run of continuously improving samsung models, and the only thing I dislike is the blatant blurring in panning shots, whatever the source... so does the 120Hz actually work at smoothening, and is 24p that much better for BD/HD DVD?

THANKS!

The only other LCD I've spent alot of time with is 4 years old and has tons of motion problems. This TV has no motion artifacts at all, other than the triple football affect which is only evident during super fast motion. But without comparing directly to last year's model it is almost impossible to tell how much the 120Hz does to resolve this.]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/
And engadgetHD, you guys need to calibrate the colour settings before you judge fairly. Standard mode sucks and movie mode sucks and dynamic is too bright with black crush out of the box. Try some different settings in this thread http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=901174&page=5. Try my settings at post #56 and #133. Give some others listed a try as well.]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/You are 100% right about adjusting the settings, but that's specifically why I mentioned what tests I did and what settings I used. I wish I was better at setting colors etc, but in reality I'm not. In the DVD days I used to have DVE which helped alot, but so far they haven't released it for Blu-ray yet and I don't have a HD DVD player at my disposal. ]]>Oct 10th 2007 4:15PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/
I have messed with the settings quite a bit, and have found some that I like pretty well. However, I just got the HD-DVD version of DVE, and am ready to begin tuning more scientifically. The thing about calibrating this set, however, is that there are more tuning controls than just your standard contrast, brightness, color, tint and sharpness adjustments. There are some quasi-service meny settings that allow you to adjust color levels (My Color) and gains. I need to find the correct starting point for those settings first. In the meantime, I have been very pleased with the picture quality, especially from HD-DVD and Blu-Ray (man does that remastered Fifth Element BD look AMAZING at 24p!)

By the way...there seems to be confusion surrounding the Automotion Plus and 120Hz. AMP is Samsung's algorithm for interpolating frames so that it "smooths" out the motion. In reality, while technologically cool, it makes stuff look very "Soap Opera like". It is really bad for film-based sources. However, I find it useful with video games and sometimes with sports. Most of the time, however, I leave it off. The TV is still refreshing at 120Hz, from what I understand, regardless of this setting. It is just where those frames are coming from that changes.]]>Oct 10th 2007 5:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/Oct 10th 2007 11:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/10/10/engadget-hd-review-ln-t4671f-120hz-hdtv/I am just curious...what is the firmware version of the reviewed set?
