samsung 3D tv

Samsung Electronics announced Wednesday it had started mass production of screens for 3D LED TVs and 3D LCD TVs, a bold move forward in a technology some analysts say is too expensive for most people and could take time to become mainstream.

Samsung is the world's largest maker of flat display screens, and putting new technologies into mass production is the first step in lowering prices. The more a company makes, the less they cost per-unit.

"Recently, 3D displays have captured the industry spotlight. Samsung Electronics aims to lead the global 3D TV panel market in pioneering mass production for 3D LED and LCD TVs," the company said in a statement.

The company began producing 3D-compatible LED and LCD screens for 40-inch, 46-inch and 55-inch full-HD 3D TVs this month, it said.

Several companies announced 3D-ready TVs at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas early this month, making it one of the most talked about product categories at the show. The popularity of James Cameron's 3D film, "Avatar," which recently surpassed "Titanic" as the highest-grossing box office hit ever, fueled much of the hype and led some companies to predict that millions of 3D TVs will be sold by the end of this year

The overall decline in LCD TV shipments is normal for that quarter, noted iSuppli, as sales typically peak during the fourth-quarter holiday season before falling to the lowest point of the year. Many manufacturers also use the first quarter to clear out stock of older models to pave the way for new ones.

Despite the drop in shipments, the industry saw rising demand for TVs with advanced features, including LED-backlighting, Internet connectivity, and 3D, all trends that Samsung managed to capitalize on.

"The year 2010 marks a major transition period for the U.S. LCD-TV market, when consumers increasingly are gravitating toward sets with more advanced features," Riddhi Patel, iSuppli's principal analyst for television systems, said in a statement. "With Samsung at the forefront of trends including LED backlighting and 3D, the company has been able to outperform the market and its closest competitors."

The introduction of new models with advanced features did boost the average price for an LCD TV to $830, up 7 percent from $774 in the fourth quarter. The increase was notable, according to iSuppli, since prices tend to drop from one quarter to the next.

samsung 200hz technology

Samsung LCD TVs weren't the first to offer 200-hertz technology - this honor goes to the manufacturer's panel-production partner, Sony - but Samsung is hard on Sony's heels. The technology is intended to eliminate the weaknesses of older LCD TVs - in particular, the frequent motion blur. Besides top electronics, however, the TVs also need fast, responsive panels. Compared to older models, current liquid-crystal displays switch much more quickly from light to dark - and back. Without this added speed, the so-called "Motion Plus" technology would be totally ineffective.

200 Hz Motion Plus generates 200 images per second, which is no easy task - TV channels (or DVD players) only deliver 25 per second. And, to complicate matters further, these 25 images appear not intact but, rather, split up into 50 "interlaced" images. To put it more clearly: A TV camera records images in horizontal lines. First, it records the uneven-numbered lines - first, third, fifth, and so on. These form the first interlaced image. The second interlaced image then consists of all the even-numbered lines - 2, 4, 6, and so on. One 50th of a second elapses between the recording of these two images, meaning a rolling football, for example, will be in a different position in the two images. This "interlacing" method of capturing images causes no bother on tube-based TVs.

samsung 8000 series

The features of the 8000 series are identical to those of the 7000 series, except that this more expensive range has 200-hertz technology. Like their fluorescent-tube relatives from series 7, the 8000-series TVs actually generate 200 images per second. And, once again: from September, models whose names include "WP" will support CI Plus.

Samsung LCD UE 40 B 8000, 40 inches (102 cm), 1,350 GBP
Samsung LCD UE 46 B 8000, 46 inches (117 cm), 1,650 GBP

samsung LED backlight

In its top LCD models, Samsung has replaced the fluorescent lamps mounted behind the screen with side-mounted light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This reduces power consumption and allows for much slimmer construction than with other flat-panel TVs. The different technology has little effect, however, on the picture. Samsung's use of the term "LED TV" for models using this type of backlight causes unnecessary confusion: These are and will always be LCD TVs.

samsung 5 series

The 5 series contains the entry-level Samsung LCD TVs - and, with 15 models, it offers plenty of variety. Within the series, the products branch off further - here, therefore, we'll look at the individual varieties separately.

Samsung LCD: Series B 530
These are the cheapest models in the Samsung LCD series. The screens provide Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels), and the tuners accept analog cable TV, digital terrestrial, and digital cable (DVB-T/DVB-C) - for digital signals, also in high definition. They do not, however, support the forthcoming CI Plus encryption process - depending on the country of operation and the local cable operators, the TV will might fail to display certain digital channels.

Samsung LCD LE 37 B 530, 37 inches (94 cm), 550 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 40 B 530, 40 inches (102 cm), 500 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 46 B 530, 46 inches (117 cm), 650 GBP

Samsung LCD: Series B 541
For screen-diagonals of 32 inches or more, this sub-series provides Full HD resolution, and all the models in the series come in white instead of the black casings of the 530-series. The rest of the technology, however, matches that of the 530 series.

samsung 6 series

Among the classical Samsung LCD TV series, this is the upper mid-range. Here, again, the series includes a number of sub-series. The B 620 series offers the cheapest of the Korean manufacturer's TVs with 100-hertz technology. The tuner accepts DVB-T and DVB-C (both also in high definition), and a USB port allows playback of photos and music. The screens have Full HD resolution and, from September onward, are also supposed to support CI Plus. Again, the only way to tell if a model is of the new type is to check the exact model number: Instead of "WWXXC", it should end in "WPXXC".

Samsung LCD LE 40 B 620, 40 inches (102 cm), 700 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 46 B 620, 46 inches (117 cm), 940 GBP
Samsung LCD LE 52 B 620, 52 inches (132 cm), 1,430 GBP

Samsung's B 650 series combines some more unusual screen sizes. In fact, the series' features even vary from one model to another. The 19- and 22-inch models only have 50-hertz technology, 1,366 x 768 pixels resolution, and - apart from a digital tuner for cable and terrestrial signals - no fancy extras.

The models with a screen-diagonal of 32 inches or more provide a significantly richer set of features. 100 Hz Motion Plus aims to display moving objects precisely, and the USB and network connections allow the TVs to play back a multitude of multimedia file-types. Additionally, the devices can access internet services from Samsung and its partner Yahoo. This autumn, the tuners will gain CI Plus support - the new model numbers will have "WP" instead of "WW".

In some European markets there is a "B 651" version of the series, with a transparent-red frame, as well as a B 652 series with no multimedia technology. In red, the latter is known as the B 653.

samsung 7000

The 7000 series builds upon the features offered by the 6000-series models. There's no difference in the tuners and video technology, but the 7000-series TVs can play back various kinds of multimedia files via USB or over a network. Furthermore, the TVs can access internet services provided by Samsung and its partner Yahoo. For CI Plus, the same applies here as does for the 6000 series (above).

In some European countries, the 7020 models are called "7090" because of differing terms in the guarantee; many models in this series also come in red, in which case their names end in "7000".

current lcd tvs

Korean company Samsung has worked its way up from the status of derided budget-manufacturer to become one of the world's largest producers of TVs. Liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) dominate Samsung's product range, and these panels are produced by "S-LCD", a Samsung-Sony joint-venture. At the same time, however, Samsung continues to produce plasma TVs. The Samsung LCD range varies more widely than with other brands. Televisions.com has taken the time to collect all of the information relevant to the United Kingdom as accurately as possible. Some varieties, however, are not available in all countries

samsung internet tv

The internet has become an indispensable part of everyday life: We buy goods online, watch TV online, and correspond via email or instant messaging. But, until recently, this technology was limited to the computer screen — hardly a relaxed place to enjoy a film or to browse for new music. Bringing the content to the living-room screen was an obvious next step.

Samsung groups its internet offerings under the term “Internet@TV”. If you connect a Samsung TV such as the ultra-flat Samsung UE 40 B 7000 to the internet via a router, it can access so-called Yahoo “widgets”. All you have to do is press the remote control’s “Internet@TV” button.

This calls up a set of symbols along the bottom of the screen — giving direct access to YouTube videos, news from Yahoo, and the online photo-sharing service Flickr, for example. Flickr allows you to display your own photo albums on the TV screen, as well as public albums made by other users. Yahoo news appears alongside the current TV programme, and is especially practical if you want to quickly get up to speed during an ad break, for example. YouTube videos, on the other hand, fill the screen — and don’t allow you to use a second application at the same time.

Samsung must first approve any service that will appear in the widget bar. One thing Samsung does not offer, however, is a web browser. This would allow users to access normal websites — as they can with Philips’ “Net TV”, for example.

samsung history

In 1938, Lee Byung-chull (1910–1987) of the large landowning family in the Uiryeong county came to the nearby Daegu city and founded Samsung Sanghoe (三星商會), a small trading company with forty employees located in Su-dong (now Ingyo-dong). It dealt in green-grocery and dried fish produced in and around the city, and the noodles, Byeolpyo Guksu produced itself. The company prospered and Lee moved its head office to Seoul in 1947. When the Korean War broke out, however, he was forced to leave Seoul and started a sugar refinery in Busan as a name of Cheil Jedang. It was the first South Korean sugar manufacturing facility. After the war, in 1954, Lee founded Cheil Mojik and built the plant in Chimsan-dong, Daegu. It was the largest woolen mill ever in the country and the company took on an aspect of a major company.

samsung plasma

No matter what movie is viewed there is gradual degradation of black depths along with contrast from side observing angles starting at 55 degrees. Color details seemed to be rich yet no overwhelming with high quality content. The high quality picture coming from Blu Ray as well as Broadcast High definition has been clear, dazzling as well as excellent as always, however alas the image doesn’t look as deep as a number of the superior pictures we have observing lately. For a Plasma though, we’re very fulfilled with all the Samsung PS50B430 Plasma television possibilities.

It can be difficult to offer a broadcast image this particular size, yet the -PS50B430 Plasma makes a strong stab. It is largely free from disturbance and has the ability of delivering distinct, colourful graphics. Speakers feels strong too, sounding clean, balanced and additionally organised. Depth is truly brilliantly bright and good resolved even with speedy activity, and textures are exceedingly effective. Blacks turn out to be just a bit hazy at side perspectives although straight appear a great deal saturated. We feel the anti glare engineering launched to the telly panel creates almost all weakness difficulties with colour adjustments and off perspective watching. In action, the Plasma’s image quality is definitely impressive.

samsung appearence

The High Definition display appears to be great from standard viewing distances (5 to 16 feet) as well as we solely witnessed display fading and additionally tone reduction with numerous intense watching angles. Samsung tells that people quickly could view high resolution high grade content material at up to 170 degree with no quality reduction. I enjoyed the display quality completely from front and middle and was basically unable to discover the processing complications the Plasma exhibited within HQV testing. İn general that Samsung-PS50B430 TV truly can deliver on its offers.

Everyone like the design and feel about the PS50B430 Plasma. Even though the set is bigger when compared with a normal Plasma because of its built in canvas, the stand as well as bezel found on top of the canvas give it a truly stylish edge. Samsung clearly took a risk here through its style, and most of us believe they put their finances in the absolute right place. The remote compliments the telly having a similarly brilliant, extraordinary appearance.

For just a Plasma although, we are very very satisfied while using the Samsung PS50B430 television capabilities. The high resolution display out of Blu Ray and Broadcast high quality has been crystal clear, intense and also wonderful as always, but unfortunately the display is unable to appear as heavy as a few of the greater display we have seeing currently. No matter what video is shown there is certainly slowly degradation of black levels and also contrast from side viewing perspectives starting at 10 degrees. Shadow detail is very useful together with Hi def content as well.

Samsung pronounces that people quickly can watch High definition good quality film material at nearly 170 degree free of graphic failure. The high quality picture looks superior from average observing distances (6 to 15 feet) and we barely noticed image fading in addition to shade reduction at one of the most excessive watching degrees.

İn general this Samsung PS50B430 Plasma TV truly does deliver on its claims.
