The Technical Advantage
There are many key technical features which make the PN50A760 50" Samsung Black Plasma HDTV a superior choice for your media center - and for watching and enjoying all your sports and especially the 2009 Super Bowl.
Making the Digital Transition
Geared up and ready for the up-and-coming digital transition (the government mandated switch to all-digital television broadcasting) your new Samsung PN50A760 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.
Ultra FilterBright anti-glare technology
First, the 50" Samsung PN50A760 plasma HDTV features Ultra FilterBright anti-glare technology. Guaranteeing that you enjoy nothing less that an optimal video experience regardless of the level of ambient light in your viewing area, this Samsung technology minimizes glare while maintaining high image contrast and saturated colors. Second, the PN50A760's ACE2 Silhouette Editor performs false-contour reduction, delivering clear images without contour lines. Go ahead, before the Super Bowl, plop down on the ol' couch and watch your favorite HD movie, even in the middle of the day. Not only will you be enjoying a clear, glare-free image, but - in combination with the PN50A760's HD 1080p resolution - you'll also be able to see every last blade of astro turf on the football field.
More than 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 PN50A760 will increase the quality of the picture. This technology guarantees the truest colors and highest contrast, while virtually eliminating digital artifacts.
How the Flat Panel Plasma reproduces a video image Okay, so you already know that the Samsung PN50A760 has a full high definition 1080p resolution, but there's more to this flat panel plasma HDTV when it comes to its ability to reproduce a vibrant, detailed HD video image. While a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio makes the PN50A760 a true HD panel, a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio is your indication that this plasma panel is capable of delivering deep black levels, essential for a truly detailed, lifelike picture. Experience brilliant, natural colors thanks to the PN50A760's Natural True Color with 18-bit processing and a new algorithm that adjusts color balance for enhanced TV and movie viewing. A 175 degree x 175 degree viewing angle gives everyone a clear view of the show, no matter where they're sitting, while a Pre-loaded Content Library serves up built-in content, including exercise, children's, and cooking programming, an image gallery, and games.
Super Bowl Sunday 2009 Color on 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 7 PN50A760. 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.

HD and connectivity
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 PN50A760 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. Finally, an Ethernet connection and DNLA compatibility allow Ethernet networking with other devices like your computer. Get ready to watch video or view images streamed from your computer.
SRS TruSurround XT Sounds Pretty Good - Good enough to over hear the roar of the Super Bowl 2009 football fans in the stadium
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 PN50A760 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 PN50A760's built-in direct down-firing speakers with 15W/channel audio amplifier.
PN50A760 features four HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connections
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's PN50A760 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.)
