Amazon.com Product Description
For anyone looking for a great value on a 720p HDTV, Samsung's 2007 model LNT4042H 40-inch flat-panel LCD is an excellent choice. As Samsung's entry level 40-inch LCD, it offers a 7000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 170-degree viewing angle, an 8ms response time panel, 3 HDMI inputs, and SRS TruSurroundXT from two side speakers. Between the design update, the aditional connections, and improved contrast ratio this model represents a distinct improvement on the popular comperable 40-inch Samsung from 2006 (LNS4041D). 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. 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.
Connections: - HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) 3
- RF in 1
- Component (Y/Pb/Pr) in 2

 DO NOT BUY!! samsung model number LN T4042 H February 27, 2010
J. A. McNeil (Boca Raton, FL)
I agree with the other review $1200 and 2 1/2 years later, the TV won't turn! I have a Zenith from 1993 that works perfect!!! Never an issue. I will never buy Samsung anything ever again.
WARNING - FACTORY DEFECTS November 10, 2009

This TV has cheaply made, inferior parts that frequently fail after a year or two. For more info check [...] or just web search "samsung clicking sound" or samsung won't turn on".
Basically, the cheap capacitors on the TV break after about 2 years of normal use. It leads to the TV no longer turning on. This can be fixed by replacing a few defective parts (they will cost about $1.50 each), but unless you are experienced with soldering electronic boards, you'll have to pay someone to do it for you. Total cost will be around $200 through Samsung or your retail outlet, or you can take it to a repair shop and spend $50 to $100.
Samsung is well aware of this problem and unwilling to help the hundreds of thousands of customers who have had to deal with this issue. Factory warranty is for 1 year, and the parts conviently seem to last around 2 years. Samsung will not offer any help other than overpriced repair.
BTW - Based on my web research, this seems to be a problem with many samsung models, not just this one in particular. Buy Samsung TV's at your own risk.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED
 Warranty I bought was waste of $$$ June 21, 2009

Well I've had this TV now for about 2 years and It's outlived my extended warranty. What a great TV, bright vivid colors and deep blacks. Awesome TV!!!
AWAITING SECOND REPAIR IN 6 MONTHS June 23, 2008
S. Haller (Asheville, NC)
We purchased this TV just after Christmas. It quit working (no signal, could not turn off or on) in April. After several weeks and two visits by the repair people to replace two boards, the TV was finally working again. Less than two months later it quit again - no signal received. This time we have been waiting two weeks again for the repair people and they are supposed to come tomorrow. Each time we have given the repair people our home phone and cell phone numbers but once the parts come in we still have to play phone tag for several days since they won't call any number except our home phone and we are at work during the day. Samsung tells us that if it breaks once more during the year warranty they will finally replace. My fear is that it will break again just after the warranty has expired. We paid a lot for this TV and I feel that it was wasted and we now have no recourse! Also, when the TV does work the sound is horrible. We have better sound from old TVs that cost much, much less than this one did! Don't buy a Samsung!
Unbeatable value. Excellent display. May 19, 2008
Kristopher D. Spaur (Ferndale, WA)
Bought this set last July after 3 months of research. The features that sold me were:
The picture on standard def channels, since I did not plan on paying for digital programming. I hijacked the remote at Sears and flipped back and forth from standard to hi-def on every set they had. While not as clear as my old Sony analog, the clarity is far and above comparable LCD's.
Looks great with my Samsung upconvert DVD player, and the onboard tuner picked up about 20 hi-def channels over my basic cable. The component connections generate a good picture as well. My kids' VHS tapes and Nintendo Wii look great.
The low glare screen has been great, since I mounted the set in a very bright room. The high-gloss black finished can cause some reflection, but a small price to pay for a set that looks this nice.
10 months later, I am still extremely happy with the set. Especially since the price hasn't dropped. Amazon has always treated me well with any purchase, be it $1500 or $5. I was not home for delivery, but my wife said that they were professional and courteous.
