Samsung Plasma +1: Smart just got smarter

The Samsung Plasma +1 TV is power packed with as many innovative features as one would want in a television, and the magic starts with the Smart TV technology being engrained into the same with the worlds first built-in app store that makes using the TV more exciting. Also, the Plasma 1 design, with an ultra slim bezel, gives an extra inch to the panel size and also reduces the gap between the panel and frame to deliver an outstanding visual experience. The Plasma +1 is perfect for modern interiors, while also being very sleek and not requiring too much space. In fact, it occupies 50% less space than other plasmas. Also, the 3D converter feature ensures that even the regular soap operas and blockbusters come to live by going beyond the confines of the screen, a capability perfectly complimented by the 3D sound.

Using Samsung's Depth Rendering Technology,  the sound experience produced is an out of this world feeling, which comes significantly close to sitting in a cinema hall. Adding on to the outstanding visual features, the Real Black Filter lends precision contrast by suppressing external light reflecting off the screen so that even in case of bright viewing conditions, the images are true to life.

Samsung Plasma TV: A cut above the rest

Samsung Plasma televisions are a cut above the rest in every sense of the word, and the distinction begins right from the manner in which it consumes electricity. The Eco Sensor accurately identifies the intensity of the light present in the surroundings to adjust the image in the most appropriate manner, ensuring that no extra amount of energy is wasted, besides protecting the eyes. Coming to the picture quality, in case of regular Plasma TVs, the motions in video get slightly jerky at times, but with the Samsung range of Plasma TVs, backed by 600Hz Subfield Motion that has 10 subfields in each frame as an added advantage, to enable crisp contours, sharp text scrolling and no juddering.

The All Share functionality is one that really takes the cake when it comes to sharing and connectivity, as one can seamlessly transfer music, videos and photos from a PC or mobile device to the television screen. What's more, even multiple PCs can be connected with this feature! Further, getting a cinematic experience could not have become any easier that with Samsung Plasma TVs, as the super-wide screens, along with the Cinema Smooth and Movie Mode technologies, ensure that no details are missed.

Buying a Plasma TV – What to look for

Buying a Plasma TV means looking beyond the brand, and deciding which product to buy based on one's requirements. Buying one purely because the brand is a well known one might easily turn out to be a bad decision, since each TV has its own strengths and weaknesses. Following is a list of some of the features that need to be taken care of.

·         Glare – Buying Plasma TVs is a wise decision only when the room in which they are to be placed is a dark one, since they have a shiny surface, and keeping a plasma in a room with bright light can easily reduce the viewing pleasure, since the glare from the surroundings will be reflected on the screen.

·         Resolution – A plasma TV must have at least 720 or 1080 vertical lines of resolution. If the TV is to receive HD TV signals, or connect with a Blu-Ray player, then a 1080p TV is the best choice. This can be validated by visiting a shop and asking the retailer to play a Blu-Ray disc and seeing the display on a 720 and 1080p screen.

·         Contrast Ratio – A Plasma TV having a high contrast ratio will produce more realistic images. The lowest contrast ratio is 800:1, while the latest Plasma TVs offer a ratio up to 30,000:1

Plasma TV buying guide – Know the details

Following are some of the most important considerations for selecting a plasma television.

·         Screen size is the most basic consideration for buying a plasma TV. One needs to ensure that the viewing distance is at least 2-3 times the size of the screen.

·         The best plasma TV would have a contrast ratio of 10000:1, a panel life of approximately 60,000 hours (although more would certainly be better) and a progressive scan resolution of 1920X1080 pixels.

·         If a plasma TV is labelled as 'HDTV compatible' or 'HDTV ready', that does not mean it's having an in-built HDTV tuner.

·         If a plasma TV is labelled as a monitor, it would not have speakers, which means that the buyer would have to make arrangements for external sound.

·         Talking of sound, it is a point to be noted that sometimes, it's much better to go for external sound options in case the buyer wants to include the television in a home theatre style of setup. However, if the screen is to be used on a standalone basis, in-built speakers would do just fine.

·         Last but not the least, flat wall mount plasma TVs are much more economical compared to other kinds. These are directly attached to the wall. Other options include a tilt wall mount, where the TV is placed high on a wall and can be angled according to the viewer's choice, and a table stand, which is the traditional style of keeping a television.

Samsung Plasma TVs: Redefining Television

If there was ever an innovation that redefined the television viewing experience, Plasma would take the crown as being the defining achievement in technology. Coming straight to the point, Samsung Plasma TVs are nothing short of a marvel of science. To start with, as soon as one switches on the television, the unbelievable response time of 0.0001 ms for regeneration of pixels for more vibrant and rich picture quality makes sure that not even a blink of the eye worth of display is missed. Further, there is less strain on the eyes, no blur or ghosting. Just pure unadulterated pictures that come to life with every frame.

And talking about picture quality and blurred images that often come up in other kinds of televisions, Samsung Plasma TVs ensure that their Clear Image Panel uses a film filter in place of glass in order to remove layered images and display sharp and rich pictures that look great from every angle without blurs. Further, they also rule out the chances of continuity jerks with 10 full subfields in every frame, i.e., a 600Hz subfield motion. In simple words, viewers are in for an experience of a lifetime with every single frame of picture viewing on a Samsung Plasma TV.
