Features

FilterBright 2: Plasma panels tend to lose contrast in bright rooms, as they have trouble keeping light from brightening parts of the screen that should be dark. Enter Samsung's FilterBright 2 technology. FilterBright 2 helps keep room light out of the panel so that dark areas stay dark and high contrast is maintained.

18-bit color: High contrast is only part of the picture — you also need a smooth transition from dark to light in all colors. The higher the number of bits in the color processor, the smoother these transitions look. By including an 18-bit color processor in these panels, Samsung delivers one of the most natural-looking pictures from a plasma panel.

10,000:1 contrast ratio: Because each pixel on a plasma panel produces its own light, plasma sets can produce images that have areas that are very bright and others that are very dark. Samsung also takes this farther by analyzing the incoming signal and adjusting the panel for darker scenes or brighter scenes.

Anti-burn-in technology: Stationary images can sometimes burn-in a plasma screen so that they appear overlaid on subsequent shows. Examples include control panels on video games, news tickers, channel logos and watching shows with black bars on the sides. Samsung includes three ways to minimize these effects. Pixel Shift slowly moves the image on screen to reduce the chances of burn-in. Test Pattern helps to exercise a burned image out. And White Wash can also help to wash out a burned-in image.

NTSC/ATSC/QAM tuner: Receive free digital broadcasts, including HD, through an over the air antenna. QAM allows you to receive unscrambled HD from your cable provider without a set top box.

Game Mode: Gaming places high demands on the TV. People sit closer to the screen, instant response is required, and all images are computer generated. As a result, a TV should be "tuned" for games. Samsung learned the best practices from a leading console manufacturer and built them into Game Mode.

3 HDMI-CEC inputs: HDMI is the best digital connection for today's high definition sources, and CEC adds a cool control interface. For example, CEC can prompt the TV to turn on and switch to the right input as soon as you insert a disc into your HDMI-CEC enabled DVD player. Samsung placed two of these inputs on the back of the set and one on the side to keep you well-connected.
