Product Description There are two key things that make the Samsung LN-S4095D way ahead of most widescreen LCD TV models: 1920x1080 Resolution and 6,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio. Look at the specs of other models. You'll see 1366x768 screen resolutions and contrast ratios of about 2,000:1. First, 1366x768 screens can only display 720p and 1080i HDTV modes. Only 1920x1080 can display optimal 1080p HDTV. At a 6,000:1 contrast ratio, this LCD flat-panel screen can bring out better black and white tones thany virtually any other LCD on the market. If you decide to use this screen with your computer, the resolution and imaging is superior to virtually all TV models and most computer monitors. This has both NTSC analog and ATSC digital TV tuners. The ATSC can already receive free over-the-air HDTV broadcasts (when used with an optional HDTV antenna). So if you're considering an upgrade to widescreen and HDTV, why go for the middle when you can go all the way to the HD ideal? 1080p is where it'll be. This 40" LCD from Samsung can do it - with the best picture possible. It's a home-theater star!

Great Picture - Great ServiceFebruary 24, 2008 I have had this TV for over a year now and could not be happier. The HD picture is incredible, and human tones look 100% accurate. Ive seen a lot of TVs since making this purchace and the quality of the LN-S4095 is second to none.
Recently, I noticed a black line that ran horizantally accross the screen about a quarter of the way down. I called Samsung customer service, and they told me that I was a week out of warranty, but not to worry, because they typically extend warranty repairs by two months, so I was completely covered. This is huge because it turned out that the entire panel needed to be replaced ($1500). Everything was repaired at no cost to me and Samsumg could not have been more accomidating.
I will never by another brand.
LCD TVJanuary 27, 2008 I couldn't be happier unless I could afford a larger screen I am a direct TV customer and the picture is great in HD. Now I really want to upgrade the rest of my stuff.
Love TV, but not happy with serviceJanuary 13, 2008 Samsung LN-S4095D 40" 1080p LCD HDTV We have had this TV for 11 months and we have loved it. We also have the same TV in the 32" model. The picture is great quality and the sound is very good. However, the first time the TV was delivered, it would not turn on. The delivery technician took it back and we had to reorder through Amazon. The second worked fine until today. The picture turns to black, but you can hear the sound. The same happens within 2 minutes of turning on or unplugging and plugging in the TV. I called Samsung and they immediately said it sounds like the lamp is going bad. According to Samsung, this is a very common problem with all LCD and Plasma TVs and it is not surprising to happen in less than a year from purchase. The rep said that it is the reason they have a 15 month warranty. They have set up a repair technician, but since they work with ONLY ONE company in all of Houston, it will take 5 days to get out to our house. Then they will have to order the part (another week, if in stock, per customer service) and then they will have to set another time to install the new lamp. She said we should expect to be without a TV for a couple of weeks or so. I think that is astounding given the fact that they know this is an issue. Why would you only have one service company under contract in a city the size of Houston and why wouldn't they have lamps available if it is a known issue with this typt of TV. This is a big disappointment since we have really liked this TV and have recommended it to others. I hope they can work out this issue
nightmare with SamsungNovember 7, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the TV in March 2007, it worked well for a few months and then the screen went blank from Aug.-Sept. Called the customer service and they assigned me a repair shop, who took the TV back for over a month but didn't do anything except leaving scratches all over the places on both the back cover and the bezel (the beautiful black shining frame I loved most). I called Samsung customer service and they assigned me another service shop, which quickly identified the problem with the LCD panel. The service will order a new LCD panel, but Samsung refused to do anything to fix the plastic over and the bezel. I called Samsung customer services many times but they just do not care.
Now the TV has been bad for two months and I am still waiting for it to be repaired, and they just do not want to do anything for the damaged bezel. My TV is only a few months old and is still covered by manufacturer's warranty.
I thought this expensive TV as a reliable product and with good customer service, but obviously I was wrong for both. I will never buy any Samsung product again.
Picture great, poor reliability, low quality audio, weird feature designOctober 13, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I agree with all the previous comments; this TV has a great picture.
However, I have some negative remarks:
Within 5 hours of delivery, it started smelling hot and one of the audio channels blew. Samsung service was fine. Within a day or two they had a guy at my house. Within a week or so he had the part and had fixed the problem.
Now, 6 months after purchase, the screen has died. There is no picture at all and again, the set smells hot. I've called in the problem. Hopefully their service will again be good.
The two Sony TVs I've owned both lasted well over a decade with absolutely no problems. Two major problems in 6 months,,, I think this Samsung set's reliability is very low. Make sure you buy from a reputable dealer with a real manufacturer's warranty.
Regarding the audio, the builtin speaker design is pretty poor. I suspect that Samsung expects all users to connect external speakers. The builtin ones do not provide clear reproduction; spoken word is hard to understand, particularly at low volumes. I suggest you listen to this set before buying if you plan to use the builtin speakers.
The set has a nice set of features to enlarge letter-boxed images to fill the screen. However, it only works with the S-video signal from my satellite receiver. It does not work with the HDMI output of my DVD player; it stretches the image horizontally but not vertically. Weird that they would support stretching both directions for S-video but not HDMI.
