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.
E-Panel Technology: Samsung's E-panel technology combines
superior picture quality with enhanced color, saturation, and contrast; as well
as energy efficiency. The E-Panel system features two separate unique
technologies. FilterBright minimizes glare and reflections for optimal viewing
any time of day and 600Hz Subfield Motion with a .001ms response time help to
deliver a clear picture for sports, action, and other fast-moving scenes
- FilterBright Anti-Glare Filter: The anti-glare filter
reduces reflections noticeably while maintaining ultra-high picture
contrast. Daytime sports events look crisp and bright, while movies at night
feature rich blacks and realistic shadow detail. Minimized image glare and
maximized contrast make this HDTV perfect for the ultimate viewing
experience day or night.
- 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.
Real Black Filter: The Samsung Real Black Filter reduces
the onscreen glare caused by external light, so every black shadow and dark
detail is as crisp and well defined as possible.
Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio: This Plasma TV has a mega
dynamic contrast ratio of 7,000,000:1, giving you brilliant brightness and
contrast for superior picture and detail from both PC and TV images.
Cinema Smooth Processing: Cinema Smooth lets you enjoy the
unbelievably smooth, realistic action in every frame.
Motion Judder Canceller: Samsung's Motion Judder Canceller
virtually eliminates blurring, even with fast-moving images. Whether you're
watching action films or sporting events, you won't miss a second of the action.
Crystal Full HD Engine: Images of incredible clarity are achieved by
the Samsung Crystal Full HD Engine chip. By unifying all of the TV's advanced
imaging technologies, the Samsung Crystal Full HD Engine expands performance,
enhances all aspects of the image, and takes picture quality and image integrity
to new levels of excellence.
HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and
