Add a Touch of Color to your walls
When the first batch of Model T cars rolled off the Ford assembly line in 1908, the saying went, "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black." It seems manufacturers of flat panel televisions use the same philosophy in their production. Shop for a flat panel, and you'll find a sea of unrelenting black bezels. Samsung, however, has added a Touch of Color to some of their TVs, like the Series 6 PN58A650. Touch of Color (ToC) is a manufacturing process that infuses a rich red hue into the solid bezel during production, eliminating the need for paints or plastic veneers. With a Touch of Color, your Samsung TV will make a bold design statement hanging on your wall.
Can you break the code?
58, 1080, 1,000,000:1, 100,000, 175, 175. What's the next number in the series? How about "650". What's the key? The high-performance video features designed into your new A650 series plasma from Samsung. The PN58A650's 58" screen is backed by a full HD 1080p resolution, delivering the higest resolution available (1920 x 1080) and advanced progressive image scanning, as well as a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio that offers black levels so deep that no detail escapes your eye. Additionally, a 100,000-hour panel life means that this plasma is going to be bringing stunning HD video into your living room for over 45 years (at 6hrs of viewing time per day). Finally, a 175° x 175° viewing angle is wide enough that everyone has a great seat for the show.
Not just an image processor, an image engine — DNIe
So, what is the Samsung Digital Natural Image engine (DNIe), and why does it matter? DNIe is an innovative technology that delivers a crisp, lifelike picture that more closely resembles the look of film regardless of the input signals used. Five image processors and a six-times density enhancer ensure the best picture from any source. Plug in your standard DVD player, and the PN58A650 will increase the quality of the picture. This technology guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.
HD and connectivity — you know, like peas in a pod
Video comes from more than one source these days, and that doesn't mean from two sets of rabbit ears rigged together. No, video comes from DVD and Blu-ray, from cable and satellite, and from your camcorder or digital camera. With so many diverse sources, you need a diverse set of connectivity options . . . and the PN58A650 delivers. Four HDMI inputs (described in detail below) provide optimal HD connectivity, while two component-video inputs are great for DVD and VHS input. Hook up your portable media player, digital camera, or digital camcorder and enjoy personal photos and video, as well as your favorite tunes, thanks to a Wiselink® USB v2.0 port.
And how 'bout that sound?
Picture is only half of the high definition experience. Sound makes it complete. If you don't have the full surround-sound setup, you can still get a rich sound from the PN58A650 with its SRS TruSurround XT™. TruSurround is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multi-channel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround-sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including internal television speakers and headphones. It is fully compatible with all multi-channel formats up to 5.1 channels. Take full advantage of this virtual surround-sound experience with the PN58A650's built-in dual 10W speakers.
Get tuned in
Geared up and ready for the up-and-coming digital transition (the government mandated switch to all-digital television broadcasting) your new Samsung PN58A650 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.
HDMIncredible
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's PN58A650 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.)
Avoid the 'No Wire' ire
The advent of HDMI has been monumental in the advancement of all your favorite audio and video gadgets. Don't miss out on all that your new PN58A650 offers — in terms of high-definition audio and video connectivity — by leaving a set of HDMI cables off the list.
