Video Features
Clear Image Panel:
Samsung's Clear Image Panel technology delivers clear images from every angle
without the dual images and blurring typically found with conventional panels.
This single-filter clear panel design eliminates the off-angle reflections that
cause picture blurring of images and details so images look great at virtually
any angle.
600Hz Subfield Motion: The television
features 600Hz Subfield Motion technology with a fast 0.001ms
response time that minimizes blurring of fast motion in sports
programming and movie content.

mega dynamic contrast ratio
which offers rich black details.
Wide Color Enhancer:
The TV's integrated Wide Color Enhancer provides natural, realistic colors.
Anti Burn-In Technology: To
reduce the possibility of screen burn-in, this Plasma TV is equipped with screen
burn-in prevention technology. Samsung's Anti-burn-in technology uses auto
pixel shift and signal pattern processing functions to ensure
that no images are burned into the plasma panel. The Time setting allows you to
program the time between movement of the picture in minutes.
- Pixel Shift: This function shifts the pixels of the displayed
image every 1-4 minutes to prevent burn-in.
- Scrolling: This function removes after-images on the screen by
moving all the pixels on the PDP according to a pattern.

screen is prevented from any damage by adjusting the white balance on both
the extreme left and right sides of the television.
