Samsung evangelizes LED and ultraslim HDTVsSINGAPORE--It's wall after wall of sexy and cutting-edge HDTVs at the Samsung A/V and digital imaging roadshow. The Korean company has lined up 40 new Asian models slated for launch within the first half of the year. These include entries featuring comparable capabilities as those found in their US counterparts announced at the Las Vegas-based Consumer Electronics Show in January. Among Samsung's latest propositions are ultrathin LED TVs, Internet-enabled widgets and full wireless networking. The new panels will also feature polished looks based on an elaborate dual-injection molded "crystal design" shell.On a separate note, Samsung is abandoning detailed dynamic contrast ratio rating in favor of its own classifications. Instead of an explicit figure, its HDTVs will be graded under three different levels: High, ultra and mega (highest). There's currently no quantifiable range designated for each ranking and they are also loosely used for the company's entire range of new LCD, LED and plasma TVs. We've sounded out our concerns to Samsung and are awaiting an official response from the company. Key featuresTo up the ante in the connected TV department, Samsung is rolling out an overhauled Medi@2.0 solution suite. The system is a collection of new capabilities and enhancements, including increased memory of up to 2GB for more offline games and recipes in the Content Library. Replacing its InfoLive RSS feeds is Internet@TV, a Yahoo widget which brings YouTube videos into the living room. Internet@TV rides on an updated Wi-Fi connectivity and covers network multimedia streaming, too. Dubbed wireless DLNA, it allows hassle-free music, photo and video playback from remote PCs using a bundled, proprietary Wi-Fi adapter.In terms of support for file formats, the panels accept standard MP3 and JPEG, as well as a galore of video formats. The selection ranges from the common DivX, Xvid, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 to the more exotic VC1, H.264, WMV and MPEG-4 encoding, up to full-HD resolution. Depending on your storage device speed and home network bandwidth, these files can be played back through USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi. For added flexibility, users are allowed to copy data from their USB storage devices into the unit's onboard memory. Tags: Light-emitting Diode, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., TV, multimedia, video |
