Content-rich Samsung plasma mammoth

Philip Wong | Sep 11, 2008

It's huge and "connected". But most importantly, the PS63A750T1RXXS is Samsung's new 2008 flagship full-HD plasma TV packed with all the latest technological bells and whistles. Its final plasma entry for the year, this 63-incher sports its unique signature "Touch of Colour" design and a class-leading 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. These are further complemented by a 100Hz Dual Scan motion-enhancement engine and four film-centric 1080p24-enabled HDMI inputs.

Like its recently launched Series 7, 8, 9 LCDs, the panel also packs its new content-rich Media Solution functions. These include InfoLive, Content Library, WiseLink Pro and Digital Living Network Alliance-compatibility for real-time RSS feeds, offline lifestyle materials, onboard USB multimedia playback and network media streaming, respectively--check out our Samsung event coverage here for more nitty gritty on these Asia firsts (excluding Japan).

The price? A nail-eating S$17,999 (US$12,779.75) in Singapore that can easily bag you a pair of 46-inch LCD HDTVs. But to be fair, this may not be exactly a bad deal if you consider the S$15,999 (US$11,359.70) initial launch price of the smaller Pioneer PDP-LX508G. That's another S$2,000 (US$1,420.05) for an extra 13-inch screen estate. The PS63A750T1RXXS will be available throughout the rest of Asia from end September or early October.
