Plasma: not your ordinary matter
In 1879, Sir William Crookes, an English physicist, identified a fourth state of matter: plasma. In 1964, Dr.s Donald Bitzer and Gene Slottow and doctoral candidate Robert Willson developed the first plasma video display. Unfortunately, producing a monochromatic orange glow, the display wouldn't contribute much to a theater-like experience—unless, of course, we all had monochromatic vision. Fortunately, science (and nature) didn't rest on its monochromatic laurels, and today lowly commoners like ourselves have access to the superior brightness, faster response time, increased color spectrum, and wider viewing angle of advanced plasma technology. What it really boils down to is unsurpassed viewing pleasure, and isn't that what a home theater experience is all about?

Advanced HDMI
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's PN43D450 features two HDMI input. 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.)
