Game Mode

Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights with a 30,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

8ms Response
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.
Wide Color Enhancer 2
Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of color than you ever thought possible.
ENERGY STAR Compliant
By being ENERGY STAR compliant you are assured that your SAMSUNG model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.
SRS TruSurround HD
Assisted by the LN26B460's two 5W bottom speakers, this creates an immersive, feature-rich surround sound experience from two speakers, complete with rich bass, high frequency detail and clear dialog.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Redefining the standards for viewing quality, energy-efficiency and home entertainment decor, the Samsung 6000 Series LED HDTV deliver unparalleled picture quality and enhanced connectivity while also helping you reduce your carbon footprint with the reduced power consumption of the LED screen. Using Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as its primary light source--rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL)--this cutting edge HDTV also offers the benefits of an ultra-high contrast ratio and a slim depth that allows for a more artful design.

Samsung's ultra-slim 6000 Series LED HDTV offers the most vibrant contrast with blacker black tones, whiter whites along with the richest color possible.

Samsung's 6000 Series LED HDTV line-up boasts high dynamic contrast ratios, complements of the ground breaking LED light source. It also incorporates a number of innovative features to reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when displaying fast movement. The Auto Motion Plus frame interpolation technology utilizes a 120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies.
The 6000 Series also includes access to Samsung's InfoLink RSS service, which can instantly display updated news, sports, weather and stocks information with a touch of the remote. And this HDTV is accented by Samsung's TOC (Touch of Color), which offers a hint of a translucent color around the edges of the unit for a uniquely fashionable look.

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get.

Download and stream bonus content such as additional scenes, shorts, trailers and multi-player interactive games thanks to the BD-HP22U's BD Live 2.0 Profile (see larger image).

The BD-HP22U also incorporates several features that help to improve your home theater experience, including a Quick Start feature that starts playing a Blu-ray disc in as little as 10 seconds as well as advanced audio decoding, a high quality picture with AQUOS Pure Mode, and lower power consumption (19W in standby mode). With AQUOS Pure mode, the BD-HP22U provides unparalleled clear contrast and details when connected to a Sharp AQUOS LCD TV with AQUOS Link function (via HDMI cable). Sharp engineers designed this mode so that the BD player recognizes the connection to the AQUOS TV, in turn producing the best picture possible. When the BD player is connected, the AQUOS automatically switches to "dot by dot" mode allowing you to view every pixel of 1080i and 1080p content with no overscan.

The BD-HP22U also enables superior video quality with state-of-the-art HDMI 1.3 digital output with x.v. color, and 1920 x 1080 video at 24 frames per second output, matching the playback of the original film. This feature eliminates the need for frame-rate conversion that can cause motion artifacts on film-based material and degrade image quality.
For added convenience, the BD-HP22U includes Sharp's proprietary Quick Start feature for quick disc loading and 2 GB of USB memory. It also features a JPEG viewer, which allows you to view your favorite digital images from your CD collection on screen in a slide show format. For lower energy bills, the BD-HP22U offers low power consumption in both Power On mode and in Standby mode.

Features

• HDMI Output: A single cable connection carries complete digital audio and video connection between your HDTV and the BD-HP22U player for the best high-definition video and highest fidelity audio in home theater today. Blu-ray Disc technology brings the multiplex experience right to your home.
• Full HD Resolution: The Blu-ray Disc format has full 1080p resolution capability--that's the maximum picture resolution available today. 1080p = 1,080 lines of vertical resolution, progressively scanned.
• High Fidelity Audio: Blu-ray technology lets you take advantage of the latest surround sound formats such as Dolby TrueHD. This means you will enjoy high-quality lossless 7.1 Channel digital surround (48kHz only) that is bit-for-bit the equivalent of the master recording.
• HDMI Up-scaling: Even your existing standard definition DVD library can look better than ever because Blu-ray Disc players are backwards compatible with your DVDs. By optimizing standard DVD playback signals to 1080p (when displaying on a 1080p capable HDTV with HDMI technology), the BD-HP22U can deliver more picture and sound quality.
• JPEG Viewing: Digital images recorded onto a CD-RW/R can be viewed in a slideshow format on screen, delivering both still and video images for greater versatility.

• Other features include advanced audio decoding, a high quality picture with AQUOS Pure Mode, and lower power consumption in both Power On mode and in Standby mode (see larger image).

When you connect your AQUOS LCD TV to the Blu-ray Disc Player via an HDMI connection, you will have seamless interoperability between your AQUOS LCD TV and the BD-HP22U.
• Quick Start: A proprietary Sharp technology allows you to enjoy viewing high-definition content on your big screen quicker than most other Blu-ray Disc Players. Unlike many other players, the BD-HP22U has an impressive start-up time allowing you to begin watching your movies in approximately 10 seconds1.
• BD Live 2.0 Profile: Provides access to a wide variety of real-time content via a network connection, such as movie scene extras, new previews, games, chat and more.
