Features

Screen size: This plasma television has a 50” screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner. This screen size is perfect for viewing from 6.3’ to 12.5’ away.

Resolution: A 720p resolution means that this television has 720 rows of pixels vertically. The more pixels a TV has, the clearer the images it can produce. The p stands for progressive scan, which means the TV refreshes every row of pixels during each cycle to produce smoother motion and sharper picture than interlaced scan.

Contrast ratio: Contrast ratio describes the difference between the darkest blacks and brightest whites a television is capable of producing. Since there is no industry standard for how contrast ratio is measured, it is only significant within a brand, not between brands. This television has a contrast ratio of 20,000:1.

NTSC tuner: A built-in NTSC tuner allows you to view standard analog television broadcasts through your television without a separate cable box.

ATSC tuner: The ATSC tuner means that you can enjoy over-the-air digital channels and theater quality audio (with a separate HD antenna) without the need for a digital antenna.

QAM tuner: The QAM tuner gives this TV the capability to receive free in-the-clear digital programming.

Aspect ratio: A width to height pixel ratio of 16:9 means this TV has a widescreen aspect ratio, which accurately recreates the dimensions in which HD programming and many feature films are shot

Inputs: Using the 3 available HDMI inputs, you can experience high definition audio and video up to 720p. Also available are 2 component video inputs, 1 S-video input, 1 composite video input, 1 PC input, and 1 RF input.

SRS TruSurround XT audio: SRS TruSurround XT creates a 3D wall of sound that moves past the physical width of the TV so the listener no longer needs to sit directly in the middle of the couch to hear best audio effect. TruSurround XT also lifts dialogue out of the chaos of sound and provides deep bass.

Samsung has incorporated advanced HD connectivity and networking capabilities that expand the HDTV’s functionality. A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side). Connect HD digital devices like disc players, game consoles, and satellite dish components into the 2 rear connections and use the side-mounted input for cameras, camcorders, and laptops.

ACEsilhouette editor ensures that every expression is seen. Samsung’s exclusive silhouette-editing technology reduces the false contour effect to deliver clear, sharp images – even on a curvy surface, like a face. Innovative motion-estimated technology multi-tones the bright and dark parts on each angle of the line. Even in fast-action scenes, Samsung’s Silhouette Editor adjusts toning so faces appear natural and free of distortion.

Since Samsung has targeted budget buyers who may not have accessories that are completely up to snuff with the latest high-def input standard, we found it wise that the company included two component video inputs in addition to three HDMI inputs on the PN50A450. These, combined with dual composite A/V inputs, plus S-video and VGA, should be more than sufficient for the array of components most buyers will connect to a TV like this. It’s not the most complete rear panel we’ve ever seen, but we wouldn’t anticipate needing many more connections when looking in this price range. USB inputs would be nice, but that’s clearly a premium feature outside the scope of this unit.
