Samsung LN46B640 46″ 1080p LCD HDTV
Sep 16th, 2009 | By SimonThe look of the 46B640 packaging hasn’t changed but the size has. The packaging is slimmer but significantly wider than your regular 46″ TV. This brings up two points: 1) some assembly is required for the TV but 2) a slimmer box is easier to hide behind something. The box measures 56″ long, 10″ wide and 32″ tall.
A number of key features are printed on the box but there are no technical specifications. You’re not going to be able to find the response time, size, weight, etc. anywhere on the box. Samsung must have assumed that you’ve done your technical research and bought this TV online or just happen to be browsing your local Best Buy where the use of marketing slogans and pictures draws you towards the TV.
If I didn’t know better I would have thought this was an A series 6 TV and not the new B640. Thankfully, the attached product label clears the confusion. I have a LN46B640R3FXZC.

Opening up the box, the entire package is protected by a soft two layer foam bag. You can see the stand on the right which causes the box to be wider than the older TV models.
In addition to the TV and stand, the package includes a remote, bottom cover, cleaning cloth, power cable, stand screws, wire cable holder (plastic white tube), TV-Holder & Screw (plastic triangle and lanyard) and a manual.
Nice looking blog. Which template are you using? Nice post as well!
Just hope that more channels could start broadcast in HD. But it’s probably quite expensive to buy all the new equipment needed.
Don’t think we can get the LN46B640 in the UK. This looks like the nearest version to it: http://www.buydigital.tv/Product-show.asp?BigClass_Id=11&SmallClass_Id=300.
Nice review. I just purchased a 640 for the USB. However, mine does not produce sound when playing avi or mp4 from USB. How did you generate the avi file in the first place? Thanks!
Nice writeup!
Wish I had seen this page before I ordered my tv today. Got the same samsung at best buy this afternoon. Out of stock, but delivering it to me tomorrow at noon.
Thanks.

Would you happen to know what’s the spece between the bottom of the TV and the stand? I am wondering if the receiver can fit in this space. I bought that TV, it wasn’t delivered yet, but don’t know if the receiver can fit between the TV and the stand. Thanks for a response.

You can connect your computer/notebook to the TV with any VGA cable or HDMI cable, depending on what outputs your computer/notebook has. You will also need to connect audio out from your notebook/computer using a 2.5mm to RCA.
Enjoy!
I don’t know how you came with this idea, but is great. Hope you don’t mind if i use it in my projects?
I purchased a Samsung 640 series TV about 8 monthes ago and it is by far the best TV I’ve ever owned. There is one thing about it that concerns me. Two or three times a week I come home and find the Tv “partially on”. The TV has a blueish grey glow and the back of the cabinet is warm. When I left the house the screen was off and completely black. My concern is that the Tv will wear out prematurely. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?
