"First Review: Samsung 100Hz LCD TV"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:18/01/2008

Samsung's latest 46-inch LCD TV boasts 1080p resolution and 100Hz technology for blur-free viewing. We turn on the F8 LCD to see how it measures up.

From affordable 1080p panels, to monstrous 70-inch LCD screens, Samsung currently has a lot of different TVs in the market that cater to various consumers. Now Samsung wants to give users a better high definition experience with the launch of its F8, an LCD TV that incorporates 100Hz Motion Plus technology to provide a ‘blur-free' viewing in sports and action movies.

The Samsung F8 TV sports a piano black finish but has a brushed aluminium side panel that hosts the speakers and touch-sensitive control panel (right side of the unit). A silver sensor below the bezel emits a blue light when the unit is turned on and also functions as a power button when touched. The panel can be swivelled up to 20 degrees to the left or to the right, allowing users to move the screen to wherever they are comfortably seated.

Samsung has once again provided users with a multitude of ports, with the side panel (left side) hosting an HDMI port, a ‘Wiselink' USB port, an S-Video in, a Composite (A/V) port, and a headphone jack. Connectors at the back of the unit include the unit's power input, a D-sub port and audio-in jack, a Digital audio out (Optical), two sets of Component in ports, RCA stereo input and output jacks, a Composite (A/V) jack, a Service connector for service and for controlling the optional mount bracket, and two HDMI ports.

This new panel promises a maximum resolution output of 1080p, has a 100Hz motion plus technology that claims to display natural and fluid motion without any blurring or ghosting effects, has a dynamic contrast ratio of 25,000:1, a response time of 6ms, and comes with features like Digital NR, Movie Plus Mode, Active Colour, and DNIe.
