Product Description
Enhanced. Elevated. Ecstatic. E-Panel |
Whatever the "E" in Samsung's new E-Panel technology stands for, you can be sure that it's a synonym for smooth, vivid, high-performance video reproduction from an HD plasma panel. While FilterBright panel construction minimizes glare on the PN58B550's 58", full 1080p panel for improved viewing, even in rooms with ambient lighting, 600Hz Sub-Field Motion serves up moving images with enhanced realism. Because the illusion of motion used in movie and television programming is achieved by flashing a series of still images, or frames, on the screen in fast succession, the smoothness and naturalness of motion depends upon how many frames are shown and how fast they appear. Frame rates for film and television content range from 24 frames-per-second to 60fps (also expressed in Hertz). 600Hz Subfield Motion technology flashes each frame ten times, meaning that up to 600 frames are shown every second (when viewing 60Hz content). The result is nothing less than dramatically improved continuity between frames which translates into seamless, lifelike motion. All your favorite movie and TV programming appears even smoother thanks to the PN58B550's incredibly fast 0.001ms pixel-response time. |
E-Panel doesn't stop there . . . |
Not only does the PN58B550's E-Panel technology deliver stunningly lifelike motion and reduced panel glare, but it also combines two other technologies for improved fast-action performance and enhanced detail. First, 1080 Full HD Motion technology is specifically designed to maintain improved resolution during faster motion sequences, such as in sports or action-movie programming. Second, Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio technology provides improved, purer black-level and color performance for sharper detail and more vivid colors. |
Styled with a Touch of Color |
Samsung frames the PN58B550's widescreen, 1920 x 1080p plasma panel with a Touch of Color-enhanced bezel. For the B550 series, Samsung infuses the edges of the black bezel with a gray accent, adding style and sophistication to the standard all-black bezel offered by other manufacturers. |
Get your game on |
Thanks to the PN58B550's Game Mode, you can achieve an improved gaming experience at the touch of a single button. Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, speeds up image processing response, and enhances the audio on your favorite games. In essence, picture and sound quality are optimized for the gaming experience. |
Speaking of audio . . . |
For a surprisingly full audio experience from a 58" plasma HDTV, Samsung has designed the PN58B550 with two 15W speakers enhanced by SRS TruSurround HD technology. SRS TruSurround HD creates an immersive, feature-rich surround sound effect from just two speakers. Experience rich bass, detailed high-frequency audio, and clear dialogue. |
Get tuned in |
Geared up and ready for the Digital Television Transition (the government mandated switch to all-digital television broadcasting) the Samsung PN58B550 comes equipped with digital ATSC and QAM tuners. These digital tuners make receiving and enjoying digitally broadcast content — whether from the air or from cable or satellite — easy and worry-free. |
ENERGY STAR of approval |
Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, Samsung has made sure that the PN58B550 meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this HDTV helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear. |
HDMIncredible |
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's PN58B550 features four HDMI connections. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.) |
