When you're ready to take on the world of high-definition television, just add a HD satellite/off-air receiver or an HDTV tuner to enjoy full-quality (720p/1080i) digital HDTV broadcast programming--the set features a DVI-HDTV interface so you can establish a direct, premium-quality digital connection with your DTV receiver. The LTN325W's native image resolution, at 1,280 x 768, exceeds 720p resolution and is enhanced by a high (600:1) contrast ratio, an exceptional peak brightness of 450 candles/square meter, lightning-quick 16 ms response time, and wide (170 degrees vertical/horizontal) viewing angles so everyone watching can enjoy a clear view. Its lamp life is rated a 60,000 hours for years of entertainment.

Samsung's DNIe Video Enhancer (or Digital Natural Image engine) enhances all analog NTSC and wideband video inputs for an overall improvement in picture quality. DNIe improves contrast, white level, and picture detail, incorporating digital noise reduction to improve low-quality video sources. The set's Automatic Digital Format Conversion System is compatible with 1080i and 720p HDTV, 480P EDTV, and 480i SDTV formats. The system accepts any DTV, analog TV, or XGA computer RGB input. All video signals are converted to a progressive-scanned 16:9 widescreen pixel count (1,280 x 720 resolution).

The set sports a swivel base and detachable stereo speakers powered by 10 watts apiece. Further, you get Dolby Digital decoding with a dedicated subwoofer output and five speaker terminals, letting you use the set with a full 5.1-channel speaker system or simply accent the supplied speakers with a center-channel speaker and a pair of left/right surround speakers.

For connections, the LTN325W offers a pair of high-definition component-video inputs, two composite-video inputs, and one each S-video, and 15-pin D-Sub RGB video for your computer (with accompanying stereo analog audio inputs). A headphone jack fosters private listening, and the set is stand- or wall-mountable with VESA standard mounting holes (the WMTL3200 mounting kit is optional).

Note: This Widescreen television is primarily designed to view widescreen-format full-motion video. The images displayed on it should primarily be in the widescreen 16:9 aspect-ratio format, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side-bars on non-expanded standard format (4:3 aspect-ratio) television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15 percent of the total television viewing per week.
