Samsung Electronics America unveiled two series of plasma HDTVs, series 8 and series 6, at CES 2009.
Measuring about an inch in depth, series 8 plasma HDTVs is the world's slimmest 1080p resolution plasma sets to feature built-in ATSC tuners, Samsung claimed.
Despite their slim design, Samsung's plasma HDTVs features high contrast ratio along with Ultra Filter Bright technology, which reduces the luminance in black levels by 50%. And Samsung's exclusive Wide Color Enhancer 3 maps HD or SD signals to the panel's native color space, which covers 110% of the HD specification.
The series 8 and 6 both meet the Energy Star 3.0 efficiency standard.

Samsung have announced an exciting range of LCD TV's for 2009 with the 6000, 7000 and 8000 series, featuring LED backlighting and Internet@TV technology.
The flagship 8000 series features a 200Hz refresh rate while the 7000 and 6000 are all 100Hz. All of the new screens include USB connectivity, DLNA certification, super-slim design and Samsung's latest incarnation of their Ultra Clear Panel technology.
In August 2008, Intel and Yahoo confirmed their intention to co-develop the Yahoo Widget Channel (Internet@TV). Widget technology enables TVs to connect to the Internet through "widgets," bits of software that provided elements of web based content.
Allowing access to the internet via Ethernet cable or a Wi-Fi USB dongle Internet@TV will enable consumers to carry out tasks such as e-mailing friends, trading shares or checking the weather while watching programmes.
A number of manufacturers believe that LED SmartLighting technology has the potential to elevate LCD to achieve plasma rivaling levels of black level ability. On the latest Samsung LCD TV's its implementation replaces the conventional bar-style fluorescent backlight with hundreds of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). This helps produce a claimed 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio along with a more natural color representation.
Sure to turn heads, the new panels feature a piano black bezel that fades into chrome. The neck of the stand is transparent 'crystal,' giving the illusion that the screen is 'floating.'
The new LCD TV's from Samsung are due to arrive in the UK this Spring. No prices have been announced.

Korean consumer electronics major Samsung is betting on high-definition (HD) products and new technologies like Bluray and Samsung LED TV to
drive growth in the Indian market. The company is planning to launch a wide portfolio of such products in 2009 in its audio-visual categories like TV, camera and home theatre.
Samsung expects such HD and new tech products to account for 50% of its revenues in the audiovisual segment in 2009 compared with some 30% in 2008. In categories like LCD, it expects the HD TVs will constitute around 45% of total sales volume up from 20% in 2008 and HD digital still cameras will account for over 10% of the total sales.
"The premium products have been growing at a phenomenal pace in India. For instance, the LCD TV market grew by over 150% last year. Given the strong response witnessed by these categories, we expect the market will sustain the demand in 2009 driven by products like LED TV. In some categories like Blu-ray, we are actually creating the market in India to take the first mover advantage," Samsung India deputy managing director R Zutshi told ET.
Samsung plans to create a new stand-alone TV category with its LED TV portfolio. LED TVs have superior picture quality and energy efficiency compared to other flat panel TVs like LCD and plasma; they consume 40% less power than standard LCD TVs, contain no mercury and are made of eco-friendly materials.
The company plans to introduce a line-up of LED TVs with 40-55-inch screens by May. It also aims to introduce a Blu-ray player at Rs 29,000 and Blu-ray home theatre at Rs 70,000 in the second half of 2009. It will roll out a full HD camcorder and a range of HD digital still cameras. "The products will be sold through premium multi-brand stores, retail chains as well as through our network of brand shops," he said.
We plan to aggressively expand our brand shops for retailing these products as well as set up LCD/LED display walls at key multibrand outlets.

Getting an ND home video indulges just one aspect of our senses - sight. For everybody, sight is nothing more than the ability to perceive or interpret information from visible light. An HDTV’s most fundamental performance is intimately linked to its ability to produce light. HDTVs use a variety of light-producing mechanisms, but the Samsung LN46A950 uses a wide-color-gamut LED backlight, offering a dynamic light source that optimizes a color’s hue for reproduction of natural, lifelike colors.When it comes to the LN46A950, that’s just the beginning. A full HD 1080p resolution delivers the highest video resolution currently available. It has 1920 x 1080 pixels scanned progressively with a super-fast 4ms pixel-response time for the smoothest, most lifelike image around.
Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz frame-rate conversion technology delivers accurate reproduction of film-based content for a true home-theater experience. Also, there’s no shortage of color, brightness, and detail across the LN46A950’s 16:9 widescreen panel: a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) in combination with a wide color enhancer optimizes color reproduction while a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio conjures up precise, stunning detail, scene after scene.

Samsung Electronics on Wednesday presented an all new range of ultra-slim, energy-efficient high-definition televisions at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Codenamed “Samsung Luxia”, the new range is said to be extremely energy-efficient, as it sports LED as the chief light source, instead of the conventional Cold Cathode Fluoroscent Lamps (CCFLs).
The company unveiled three distinct models of Luxia range, namely 6000, 7000, and 8000 series, with all these models having Samsung’s exclusive ‘Touch of Colour’ image display, which offers high-contrast ratios, ultra clear image details, and a wide range of colours.
The LNXXB8000 series of the range integrates advanced ‘Auto Motion Plus’ 240Hz frame processing feature that can deliver speedier 240 Hz refresh-rate, which is said to be four times faster than that of LCD TVs available in the market currently.
In addition, the 8000 model is expected to hit the market in first half of this year in 55-inch and 46-inch versions.
On the other hand, the LNXX7000 model sports Auto Motion Plus 120Hz frame interpolation capability, along with 120HZ refresh rate, which is twice the capability of the erstwhile LCD TVs.
Moreover, the LNXXB6000 series includes a power indicator menu and consumes 40 percent less power than the other LCD TVs.
All these three HDTVs integrates Wi-Fi capability, with 7000 and 8000 models providing Samsung’s signature “Internet@TV - Content Service” that enables users to access content from YouTube, Flickr, and Yahoo right on their TV screens with a simple touch of button.
