58" 1080p Plasma HDTV

There are no bad seats when you're watching the 58" widescreen PN58A550 plasma HDTV. Even in a brightly-lit room, patented Ultra FilterBright keeps the pictures looking clearer in details and deeper in black at every angle. Samsung's powerful anti-burn-in technology assures a long screen life. The super-high contrast ratio lets you see every nuance, even in nighttime action. Connect your digital devices through three HDMI ports, one on the side, and a full complement of audio and video inputs, including USB 2.0.

Plasmatize your home theater room

Imagine replacing your sputtering old TV with this 58" plasma HDTV from Samsung. I won't even start to compare the two, because . . . well, it'd be like comparing the Eiffel Tower with a fast-food joint. Bottom line: This TV marks the end of your days squinting at fuzzy TV artifacts and wrestling with taped-up rabbit-ear antennas. Congratulations. You've gone digital, my friend.

Now that you've joined the Jetsons in the Digital Age, it's time to see what your new HDTV's got. First off, you get 1080 x 1980 screen resolution on a 58" screen. No more squinting at the TV to make out an image. In fact, the Series 5 PN58A550's wide 178º viewing angle kind of compares to a drive-in screen — no matter where you or your movie-buff friends sit, you see every scene. No one's left out unless they're making a popcorn run.

The magic behind those crystal clear images

You're in front of your PN58A550. Again. In fact, it's been a few hours. It's okay. It happens to new PN58A550 owners. At this point, you're wondering what makes the clear picture tick. Behind that fancy screen beats Samsung's Digital Natural Image engine (DNle&trade). This technology is made up of a Motion Optimizer, a Contrast Enhancer, a Color Optimizer, and a Detail Enhancer to ensure that all the work going into a clear image keeps humming along — only quietly, thanks to the engine's noise reduction. The new 18-bit processing capability of DNIe and the Natural True Color technology allows you to enjoy "as is" color on the PN50A550. From the faint sunlight of dawn to the extreme spotlights of a fashion show, your plasma provides vivid, life-like images that rival reality. ACE Silhouette editor ensures clear images without contour lines (something that old TV of yours loved. THAT's why it's next in line at the e-Waste recycling event.)

Don't sweat the burn-in

Don't worry about your PN58A550's panel fatigue — this baby's got a 100,000-hour panel life, so that hypnotic true-to-life picture isn't fading any time soon. Anti-burn-in technology uses auto pixel shift, signal pattern processing function, and all white screens to ensure that no images are burned into your plasma panel.

Finely tuned picture

When it comes to displaying pictures how you want to see them, the PN58A550 gets the job done. Built-in analog tuners allow you to connect with an RF signal cable directly to the set and watch "regular" standard TV right out of the box, or use the integrated ATSC tuner to pick up high definition programs broadcast over the air. Picture-in-Picture (PIP) gives you convenient simultaneous viewing of TV and video or PC sources. At the same time, the Ultra FilterBright Plus Anti Glare Filter enhances contrast ratio in bright rooms even in the daytime and improves overall brightness for clearer image details.

It's all about connections these days

The PN58A550 includes three HDMI-CEC ver. 1.3 connections which allow for the transmission of both video and audio digital signals through a single cable for higher quality and fewer wires. The HDMI connections are also CEC-compliant, which means one remote can control all the CEC devices with one-touch operation. You can connect your DVD and DTV sources with two component video (Y/Pb/Pr) inputs. You also get S-Video and composite video inputs, along with optical digital audio outputs for transferring high-quality sound. What's more, the PN58A550 can also function as a PC monitor thanks to PC inputs.

Future-ready means 3D

Yes, your PN58A550 is 3D-ready. Groundbreaking 3D technology gives you the benefits of both a flat-panel set and 3D movie viewing and gaming. How cool is that? Imagine playing your favorite video game on a 50" screen that has 3D capabilities. Now that's what I call rivaling reality.

Cinematic sound, too

As you now know, with the PN58A550, true theater quality sound is part of the experience. SRS TruSurround XT delivers an amazing simulated effect using TruBass virtual woofer effect, Dialog Clarity, and WOW stereo enhancement. The set's built-in 2-way speaker system is powered by the built-in 10-watt per channel audio amplifier and sounds terrific.

Don't forget the cables!

If you are using a Blu-ray player, a receiver, or anything else that is capable of sending a high definition signal, don't forget to purchase the right cables. Many people don't realize what a significant difference the right cables make, and when they get their new high definition equipment home, they think the equipment itself is to blame when the picture or sound isn't as good as it should be. This is because most components (Blu-ray, receivers, etc) don't come with cables, so people often use whatever they have around the house, or buy cheap cables, thinking "it will do." Another reason people don't buy the right cables is because trying to figure out which cables you need can be daunting, and it's hard to know where to start. Our sales representatives are there to explain all your options, so you can make the best purchase and get the most out of your HDTV.
