SpeakerCompare tailors your listening experience to the exact headphones you have, so that what you hear is comparable to auditioning speakers side-by-side in person.

Two different listening modes. In an actual listening room, you'd find that some speakers play louder than others when fed the same amount of power. In equal power mode, you'll hear these differences in loudness as they naturally occur between speakers. In equal volume mode, we've made the loudness of each speaker about the same.

This gives you a more direct comparison of subtle voicing differences between speakers. Nothing beats listening to speakers in your space. SpeakerCompare gives you a sense of the sonic differences. But performance in the real world is affected by the acoustics of your car or home, your choice of amplification, and your source material. We're here to help.

Bluetooth Audio Streaming. Apple AirPlay 2. Just Scan is our favorite because it introduces no overscan and does not scale i or p sources, preserving the dot-by-dot match to the TV's native pixels. Standard-def sources allow four choices as well, including two zoom modes you can adjust vertically to see subtitles or obscure tickers, for example.

The Samsung also has a picture-in-picture function that allows it to display two programs at once. The setup menu controls, among other items, are the energy-saving function of the LN-TF. You can choose from four different Energy Saver modes, which limit peak light output backlight intensity to conserve power.

In past Samsung LCDs, we've had to use Energy Saver modes to get the best black-level performance, but in the case of this TV, we achieved black levels without having to futz with Energy Saver.

Two are located on the back, while a third can be found in a recessed bay along the panel's left side. Performance The overall picture quality of the LN-TF places it squarely among the better LCDs we've tested this year, and it scored well in both black-level performance and color accuracy. Unfortunately, your mileage may vary depending on which firmware version your 71F employs.

Setup: We began our review, as always, by adjusting the TV's user-menu controls for viewing in our completely dark theater. These adjustments included attenuating light output to a comfortable 40 footlambert ftl and calibrating the grayscale to closer to the broadcast standard of 6,K. It may be mildly interesting to some readers that our review sample's Warm1 color temperature preset came closer to the standard than Warm2, which was a bit too red.

A few tweaks to the user-menu grayscale controls brought the color temperature somewhat closer overall, although we couldn't quite eliminate the faint bluish tinge from the very darkest areas. Black levels and color: The depth of black produced by the latest LCDs such as the Samsung 81F and the Sony has raised the black bar, and while the LN-TF delivered deep blacks compared to most LCDs we've tested, it couldn't quite compete with those two.

It was still quite dark, however, especially for an LCD, and we appreciated the relatively solid detail in shadows, although again, shadowy areas, such as Honsou's hand and the folds in his ear, didn't appear quite as distinct as the three black-level champs. Our biggest issue with the Samsung's black-level performance was its tendency to get a bit bluer in darker areas, whereas the other sets stayed relatively true. Black backgrounds such as the intro has a slight bluish cast, and skin tones in dark areas looked somewhat less realistic.

When Jennifer Connelly dances with Leonardo DiCaprio at the outdoor bar, for example, her face and the lighter highlight on her cheek appeared a bit bluer than we'd like to see. Her face looked a lot more natural when the strobing lights came up, however, and in general the Samsung's color looked very good. We especially appreciated the accurate primaries, from the blue of the river to the red of the clay earth. Yes, compared to the other Samsungs and the PRO-FDH1, the 71F's greens did look very slightly too blue, but the difference was very difficult to see outside of direct side-by-side comparison, and certainly wasn't distracting.

Video processing: Like the Sony and the Toshiba 52LX we reviewed earlier, the LN-TF's Hz mode includes de-judder processing, which is designed to smooth out motion in pans, camera movement, and pretty much every other species of moving image.

We found this smoothing effect most noticeable in film-based material, such as Hollywood movies and prime-time sitcoms and dramas, and basically impossible to discern with video-based material such as sporting events and reality TV. During Blood Diamond , our overall impression, as we also noted in the Sony and Toshiba reviews, is that engaging de-judder has the effect of making the film appear more like video and less like film.

Taking out that stuttering effect definitely smoothed out motion and in some scenes, especially slow pans that tended to accentuate judder, the effect wasn't unwelcome. In other scenes it simply looked strange to our eyes, especially when the processing suddenly "locked in" during movement. We saw this issue, for example, during a zoom into a trellis bridge, where the motion suddenly and unnaturally went from juddery to smooth.

For some other film-based material, such as the flyover helicopter shots and slow pans in the nature documentary Planet Earth , we found the smooth version displayed by the Samsung and the Sony entirely preferable to what we saw on the other TVs. The processing lent realism and clarity to the motion and made the juddery, normal version, especially in side-by-side comparison, seem distracting and unnatural. Having three different grades of de-judder allowed us to gauge the difference, and in general we preferred watching Blood Diamond in Low or Off mode as opposed to Medium or High.

While the latter two made pans and whole-camera movement almost comically smooth, an effect some viewers may like, they did introduce significant artifacts. We compared a sequence in all three modes where DiCaprio and Hounsou scamper through town dodging bullets, and at one point, when the camera circles the two heroes, we saw obvious ghost-like outlines around their bodies, which were basically invisible in Low and Off.

Of course, the great thing about having different options is being able to choose, and some viewers may be willing to endure artifacts for more smoothness. While the Samsung in Low and the Sony in Standard produced about the same level of smoothness with comparatively few unnatural artifacts, the Samsung evinced another issue we didn't see on the Sony. Occasionally, during our rewinding and fast-forwarding--and once without any us doing anything--the action on the TV would begin stuttering significantly.

This effect was a great deal choppier and more unwelcome than mere film judder, and became very distracting when it happened. We never experienced it in Off mode, but it came up more than once in the other modes. The de-judder processing also introduced another artifact we noticed, particularly during sporting events.

Watching a college football game between West Virginia and Louisville, for example, we saw what looked like blurring and elongation of the ball during a long, yard pass which was intercepted.

The artifact was most noticeable in High mode and became less so in the modes with less processing, although we were still able to consistently discern between Off and Low on that particular pass play.

We didn't notice any similar artifact on the Sony, even when it was set to High mode. We didn't find the artifact egregious and it certainly was uncommon in that game; we watched the majority of that game, and it didn't pop up as noticeably again. Update When this review first posted we indicated that we watched a hockey match and only noticed the artifact once in a period, but that was with a standard-def match HDNet was blacked-out that week in NYC.

When we watched high-def match on HDNet this week, between the Ducks and the Kings, it popped up more often; about 15 verifiable times in a minute period with the mode set on High. The artifact again seemed only to appear on certain relatively long shots that went fast but not too fast, and was much less-noticeable in Medium and lower modes. Given the presence of this artifact, we recommend that avid sports fans who want de-judder should either avoid this set or simply turn off the processing.

We preferred to watch sporting events with the processing off anyway since, as we mentioned, we couldn't discern much smoothing with sports--not a surprise since sports are captured on video at a frame rate higher than that of film.

We've also heard reports from readers that Samsung 71F sets with different firmware may behave differently from the sample we reviewed; click here for further details. Aside from de-judder, one other supposed benefit of Hz is its ability to accept frame, film-based content without having to perform any pull-down. Compared to the Sony, whose Smooth Motion processing we also turned off, the Samsung looked slightly choppier in some medium-speed pans, such as the one over the Congress of American Indians audience in Chapter 18, although the difference was most-noticeable in handheld shots, such as when the camera moved over the wounded on the beach in Chapter For what it's worth, despite the differences we observed, both company's engineers claim that their sets perform the ideal conversion, simply multiplying every frame; 5x24 equals The smoothing effect of the Sony wasn't nearly as overt as its or the Samsung's de-judder modes, however, and in general we feel most people will have a hard time discerning the benefit of conversion compared to the standard pull-down used by all other nonHz HDTVs.

Speaking of p, the LN-TF fully resolved every detail of the format according to test patterns, and images looked as sharp as we saw on the other displays including the nonp Pioneer. Update When this review first posted, we indicated that the TV could not properly de-interlace i film-based material.

That was a mistake; upon further testing, the Samsung 71F passed the i film resolution test from HQV , our benchmark for i de-interlacing, with Film mode engaged although the 81F still failed. The Geek Box has been updated accordingly. We also checked out the ticker on ESPN to look for evidence of Hz's ability to combat motion blur, and indeed, the 71F appeared a bit sharper in this regard than the 81F.
