Samsung UN46B8000

The Samsung UN46B8000 is a 46" ultra-slim LED TV that combines breakthrough picture quality, eco-friendly design and advanced connectivity options and is a part of Samsung's LED 8 Series. It has a massive 5,000,000:1 Mega Dynamic Contrast ratio making it capable of producing pure blacks to pristine whites with Advanced Color Processing to give vibrant color and Auto Motion Plus 240 Hz technology for a smooth and crisp picture. The screen itself is only 1.14" (29mm) thick and can be hung less than 0.59" (15mm) from the wall with the optional wall mount. Like all Samsung LED TVs, it uses 40% less power than conventional LCD TVs, uses mercury free back lights and does not use any spray paint in manufacturing, eliminating CO2 and VOC emission. There are four HDMI inputs giving plenty of HD connectivity and the USB 2.0 Movie: Multi-media Centre feature lets you easily connect your digital camera, thumb drive or MP3 player for easy access to your digital media using your TV and remote control. An easy to use widget also allows you to browse the internet making it easy to add or delete content. The Samsung UN46B8000 comes with a pebble shaped remote control.
