Designed to provide the ultimate home theater An audio/video entertainment center that has a large-screen TV and hi-fi system with three speakers in the front (left, right and center) and left and right speakers in the rear. Starting in the early 1990s, video inputs were added to stereo receivers and preamplifiers.  experience, the LCD and PDP products offer unrivalled functionality, with the highest quality display and picture resolution.

"The 102" PDP TV and the 82" TFT-LCD TV are a perfect combination of screen size and picture resolution," said Shin Sang-Heung, vice president of the Visual Display Division at Samsung Electronics. "Both televisions are the epitome of design and performance - a must-have for any serious home theater buff."

With its progressive scanning capability, the 102" PDP TV offers smooth video playback with a contrast ratio of 2000:1. The television also features the latest in Samsung's proprietary DNIe(TM) (Digital Natural Image engine) technology, which enables 68.7 billion displayable colors and a brightness ratio of 1000cd/m(2).

To ensure that the 102" PDP TV is always center stage, Samsung has included custom tallboy-style speakers and a matching specialized component rack. The unit's built-in SRS SRS, SRS-A

The 82" TFT-LCD TV features a crisp, sharp image, higher resolution and reduced power consumption - all at a lighter weight than a plasma display Also called "gas discharge display," a flat-screen technology that uses tiny cells lined with phosphor that are full of inert ionized gas (typically a mix of xenon and neon). Three cells make up one pixel (one cell has red phosphor, one green, one blue). . It also excels in performance. With less than 8 ms response time - a crucial indicator of a TFT-LCD TV's motion picture capability - smooth playback of even the most action-packed visual contents is assured. And with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution pixel resolution Telemedicine The sharpness of a computerized image, based on pixel concentration, which determines display resolution  and a 16:9 aspect ratio, Samsung's LCD TV supports 1080 progressive scanning, the highest possible HDTV (High Definition TV) A set of digital television (DTV) standards that offer the highest resolution and sharpest picture. Although some HDTV sets are available in standard (rather square) screen sizes, the overwhelming majority of sets are wide screen, which eliminates  resolution, offering twice the picture quality of a 1080 interlaced Refers to a display system or image that uses interlacing and does not render contiguous lines one after the other.

The resulting image is exceptionally crisp and vibrant, with brightness of 500 nits (cd/m(2)), a contrast ratio of 8000:1 and 92% color gamut for the NTSC (National TV Standards Committee) The committee that developed the television standards for the U.S, which are also used in Canada, Japan, South Korea and several Central and South American countries.

The unit is exceptionally thin and light-- despite its unprecedented screen size, even by flat-panel television standards-- making it one of the most desirable display products available in the market.

In addition, Samsung is the first to develop the single-sheet, 40-inch active matrix (AM) OLED (organic light-emitting diode Noun 1. organic light-emitting diode - a self-luminous diode (it glows when an electrical field is applied to the electrodes) that does not require backlighting or diffusers

Breaking traditional AM OLED size limitations, the new prototype offers a maximum screen brightness of 600 nits; a black-and-white contrast ratio of 5,000:1; and, a color gamut of 80 percent. Motion pictures with ultra-high quality images can be impeccably reproduced by skillfully employing OLED's rapid video response capabilities for image processing of HD-class resolution. The ultra-thin shape of the panels will allow future TV set designers to create televisions with a total thickness of only 3cm or less.
