This may be a stupid question but is the TV 2160p? If so, how do you watch content or movies in 2160p?

Not a stupid question at all. Like 1080p televisions receiving a 720p or 480 signal, the television will upconvert the picture using processing. Obviously the better (higher) resolution you can give the TV, the better the picture quality will be (so 1080p pictures will always be easier to convert). But whatever signal the television receives, it will upconvert to the panel's resolution.Thanks for your interest in Samsung products.--Mr. S

I am not an expert, but here is what I have learned since buying my UHD TV. There are 4x as many pixels, but there still are few programs broadcast in the ultra high definition format. Those of us who are early owners of UHD TVs will have to wait a couple of years until content providers complete their transition to UHD equipment (cameras etc.). Meanwhile, try playing a UHD video disk movie to experience maximum picture quality.

That's good to know Bridger. I have this one (Samsung plasma PN50B450) as well and the manual states that brightness and contrast should be reduced to prevent burn in while play video games. Also appreciate the first hundred hour rule-mixing tv with games.Thanks. The only thing I'm worried about is my kids walking away from a video game and a screen just sitting there. But hey, for the price you could buy another one and not spend what you can for a 1080p lcd 52 inch. I know that defeats the purpose but isn't that why you would be interesed in this tv anyways? for the price?

LOL no it doesn't work like that. 4k will look THE SAME as 1080p from about 10ft. At about 6 feet the difference is pretty visible. At 4 feet its obvious. Keep in mind this TV takes advantage of other features that most 1080p sets don't have, like advanced local dimming (for higher contrast) and the triluminos display (for better colors)

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

This display will not do 1080p. You can watch 1080p movies, iyour video player will scale them but it is a 720p display. Movies, and games, still look great.

I was wondering the same thing. Im gonna call sammy to find out. It seems like such a huge discrepancy to be in this many places. There is more than a small difference between 50,000:1 and 15:000:1. If you find out please let me know ***EDIT*** After calling Sammy's CS they informed me that it was infact a 15,000:1 ratio'd tv. Not bad, but nowhere near the 50,000:1 that has been advertised all over the net. Thanks **EDIT #2** This TV is great. I love it. I would go into detail about the performance and quality, but its one of those things that you really need to see in a display next to a lesser tv. I have this 32 incher right next to a Sharp Aquos 32gp1u and it out shines in almost every way except for the ease of adjusting the picture. Apart from the minor menu quibble this tv is as close to perfect as you are going to find in a 32 inch model. Hands down and without a doubt worth the money if you want a quality 32 flat panel tv with lots of inputs.

I do not get 1080P but 720P looks fine. I suspect that you could have gotten away with the LT. I bought it for MLB TV and then discovered PLEX. I use PLEX to stream video from my desktop to my Roku.

I've got Roku, Apple TV, Dish Network, and a Panasonic Blu-Ray all running through a Pioneer vsx-60 receiver to the TV and they all look great. I can't tell any difference between a 720p and 1080p TV . I have both.

I don't have it connected to Cable or Network tv...I mainly only watch Bluray movies or use Netflix/Hulu/Youtube and also my gaming console. I will say some movies/tv shows only shown in standard definition via Netflix look great, the 240hz on the M Series extremely helps standard definition....Very little to no grain and no judder from what I've seen.

its 720p....its all you need on a 32 inch tv.....1080p is a waste of money on a 32 inch set

The TV supports 1080p, however you also have to make sure the device transmitting the signal (cable box, DVD player, etc.) is also 1080p. If both of those are setup correctly, you should have a 1080p picture.

Mine is great. The picture is very good. I mean that because I have a panasonic 65vt50 and after watching that I can still enjoy watching this one. So it most not be that bad if my eyes can stand the change from the best you can buy to this tv. It's currently in my bedroom

The 4k has a beautiful picture. I have been very happy with it. Recently Netflix announced some 4k streaming. i viewed some of the offerings and the differences from HD run from minor to significantly clearer almost 3D like. The 4k is pricey vs what is available on 1080 and the return on investment is not yet confirmed but given what i saw on Netflix it is promising.

This is the WORST thing about this TV. You CAN'T. I had to buy a ROKU to hook up to the TV so I could. I had a nice 52' flat screen 1080, perfect, all I had to do was buy this ROKU and it is just like the SMART HISENCE. If I new that sooner, I would of NEVER bought the TV.

It shoots very well in 1080 with a little tweaking. I prefer to use a lower setting for storage reasons, personally. Don't know anything about viewing on 4K.
