Samsung LE46A786 Review

Gone are the scarlet hues of Samsung's stunning 6 series, to be replaced by Samsung's 'Crystal Design' concept in a slightly different guise. The LE46A785 swaps the more adventurous deep reds for a more subtle deep blue finish. We like both variations on the theme and as we expect, the cutting edge design is complemented by Samsung's outstanding build quality.

The LE46A786 uses LED SmartLighting technology which replaces the conventional bar-style fluorescent backlight with hundreds of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This helps produce a claimed 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio along with a more natural color representation.

As with most claims for achieved contrast ratio, the 2,000,000:1 quoted by Samsung may be a little optimistic. What is not in doubt is that the LE46A786 produces some of the deepest richest blacks we have seen, not only from an LCD but from any form of flat panel technology.
