Well-Dressed Technology

Samsung, an industry leader in plasma flat panel displays, offers the latest technology to you in their most convenient and stylish package to date. Their 5th generation plasma panel combined with proprietary electronic chassis design, incorporating the latest DNIe picture enhancement circuitry, results in outstanding brightness, contrast and overall picture clarity. The SPR4232 is a true plug-and-play plasma TV with an integratd NTSC/ATSC/Digital Cable Ready (DCR) tuner, allowing for viewing of HD programs without the need for a set-top box (check with your cable provider about high definition programming in your area). Everything you'll need in a digital flat panel TV is here, including a jack pack with the latest digital connectors and integrated speakers. Performance and convenience in a package that's less than 4 inches deep makes the SPR4232 the clear choice.

Digital Cable Ready

The SPR4232 includes a Digital Cable Ready (DCR) tuner with a CableCARD slot. You can use your Samsung TV's remote control to enjoy the world of digital cable and HDTV. CableCARD means that your TV connects directly to your cable signal without the need for a separate cable box. Simply plug your cable company supplied CableCARD into the slot in your SPR4232, connect your signal and you're ready to go. This system is very easy to use. There's no external box and only one remote control. Samsung Plasma TVs with CableCARD are also compatible with digital cable boxes that enable two-way transmissions, such as Pay-Per-View.

Powerful Processing

When it comes to reproducing natural images, Samsung TVs are unrivaled. Thanks to the new 12-bit processing capability of DNIe, Samsung TVs can produce over 68 billion colors and over 4,000 shades of gray. Compare that to most competitors' 10-bit processing systems that produce just one billion colors. From the faint sunlight of dawn to the extreme spotlights of a fashion show, Samsung Plasma TVs provide vivid, life-like images that rival reality.

Getting The Most

The SPR4232's wide screen aspect ratio means your screen is filled with DVD and HDTV images which are increasingly available and presented in wide screen formats. On-board aspect ratio controls allow for handling analog 4:3 sources as well, in standard, wide screen, panorama, zoom 1 and zoom 2 modes. Built-in analog tuners allow you to connect with an RF signal cable directly to the set and watch "regular" TV right out of the box. Split screen and PIP (Picture-in-Picture) with small, large, and split modes give you various options for watching multiple programming on the same screen at the same time.

Picture Perfect

This set features technology that delivers outstanding picture quality. DNIe stands for the Samsung Digital Natural Image engine. It combines a Motion Optimizer, Contrast Enhancer, Detail Enhancer, and Color Optimizer to deliver the most vivid, lifelike picture. You can see the difference DNIe makes on any analog or digital source. In creating a 5th generation panel, Samsung has not only achieved an amazing contrast ratio of 10,000:1, but also a brightness of 1,500 cd/m2. With every scene, the picture is always clear and vivid. Even in bright light, all the details are captured. My Color Control allows you to adjust the individual colors of your set without distorting other colors. The range of color adjustment includes Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Red and White. This ensures true to life colors such as green grass, blue sky and realistic skin tones. White Tone enhancement also ensures the purest, brightest whites possible. Samsung's technology has created a Plasma TV that shows the true potential of digital TV.

Great Input

With the purchase of this outstanding flat panel plasma, you're catapulting yourself to the cutting edge of technology. That's why this television is not only full of advanced systems and features, it's also ready to accept the latest video equipment through its full range of connections. In addition to component (Y, Pb, Pr) inputs for an HD set top box and DVD, this new plasma also has DVI (Digital Video Interface) with HDCP for the best possible resolution in a direct digital connection. An HDMI input provides transfer of high quality digital information through one simple connection. S-video and composite inputs provide easy, direct connection of your existing audio video components. With the PC (RGB) input, this set can also be used simultaneously as a PC monitor.

Sweet Sounds

The SPR4232 includes a built-in 2-way, 4-speaker system powered by a 15-watt per channel built-in audio amplifier and SRS TruSurround XT. TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through the SPR4232's internal playback system.

Little Things That Go A Long Way

There are a lot of little extras included on the SPR4232 that you're sure to appreciate. Trilingual on-screen displays let you operate your set through English, Spanish or French. There's a V-Chip system which allows blocking of rated TV and movie programs determined by a parent to contain objectionable content. Closed Caption (CC) displays dialog that can be read along with encoded broadcast TV programs and pre-recorded videos. There's even a fanless cooling system for low noise operation.
