Samsung PS42A450 42" Multi System Plasma TV Description:

3D image display technology

3D technology is not only being applied to PC games but beginning to be broadly expanded to film and the web. Demand for 3D capable TV is rapidly increasing, so SAMSUNG has met the challenge with this awesome array of cutting edge technologies.

How does 3D image display technology work?
Either DDD software or an nVidia Graphic card converts the3D input source material into the 3D format of your TV system with 3D depth information derived from the input source. The 450's' Real 3D Engine' produces independentimages for each eye with the redefined format and 3D depth information. Then, 'Real 3D Engine' displays 60 images per second for each eye independently, which means it displays visuals at 120Hz frame rate. An IR Emitter synchronises signals generated from the‘Real 3D Engine" with special shutter glasses. The glasses and IR Emitter work together sothat each of your eyes gets its own visual information.Through this process, users can feel the excitement of the full 3D effect.

What is available in 3D?
The roster of DVDs, games and applications that use 3D is growing quickly. You can enjoy 3D web content like GoogleEarth on a big screen, in addition to over 35 previously released 3D DVDs and many more new titles scheduled to be released this year. If your PC is equipped with nVidia graphic card, you can enjoy most of the 3D PC games on the market. Current 3D web content like Google Earth 4 and World of Warcraft are also available with DDD 3D software. With SAMSUNG's new advanced 3D technology, there is an experience waiting for you that is so real you can't imagine it.

1,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio - deeper darks and brighter lights

The phenomenal Dynamic Contrast Ratio of the PDP TV 450 (up to an incredible 1,000,000:1) provides powerful images that are vivid and lifelike. To dynamically increase the contrast ratio, SAMSUNG has developed a new solution to minimise the black level. By changing the light controlling system from analog to digital we get finer control of backlighting, virtually eliminating unwanted glow and providing deeper, richer dark colours, and brighter, more vibrant light colours.

Real 100 Hz - natural & fluid motion without blurring

Real 100Hz' enables motion display in a more fluid way without any blurring by:

Digital Natural Image engine+ - delivering enhanced natural images

Our upgraded advanced DNIe+ (Digital Natural Image engine+) technology creates clear, vivid images that are bathed in natural beauty. The Motion Optimiser produces soft, fluid motion and ensures that images are well defined and clear. The Colour Optimiser provides finely balanced natural colours, while the Contrast Enhancer delivers deeper black tones that appear natural to the human eye. Finally, the Detail Enhancer sharpens the edges of images to present them in crisp, lifelike detail, while Digital Noise Reduction ensures that you see images of astounding clarity and precision.

3 HDMI (1 side, 2 rear) - excellent connections

Three High Definition Multimedia Interface TM (HDMI) connections make your TV a multimedia centrepiece. Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops. HDMI is the best performing interface for displaying an HD source on an HDTV.
