Samsung PN50B850

Plasma TV Buying Guide Comments

New for 2009 are Samsung's B850 plasmas. These are the top of line for Samsung in '09 and feature an ultra-thin, one inch deep bezel and the internet connectivity that's showing up in more and more HDTVs. Rather than posting an outrageous contrast ratio, Samsung is saying the PN50B850 will have "mega dynamic contrast" and it remains to be seen just how "mega" it really is. We were impressed with the A650 series last year and are looking forward to getting our hands on the new B850 series.

Some other feature of the PN50B850 are 1080p resolution, 24p film playback, built in ethernet (it's also wifi capable but you'll need to purchase additional hardware) and Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer Pro technology. It also features a new anti-glare screen than Samsung is calling Ultra FilterBright Plus. For the energy conscious the TV will meet the EnergyStar 3.0 specification.
