What reviewers say
TechRadar and Computer Bild praised the LE46F86BD's strong black levels and sharp HD picture. Both found motion smoother with 100 Hz processing, although TechRadar still noticed judder on camera pans and weaker standard-definition pictures. Computer Bild found channel changes slow.
