Samsung has just introduced the 50-inch PN50C680 3D-enabled Plasma 1080p HDTV as part of its affordable Plasma 680 Series line-up.
The Plasma 680 Series offers an immersive 3D experience, and underscores Samsung's commitment to performance, design and value. The Samsung Plasma 680 Series features Full HD 1080p resolution and 600Hz Subfield Motion to deliver crisp, lifelike images, and clear motion, while the Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio creates deep blacks and brilliant colors. Available in 50- or 58-inch screen sizes, the Plasma 680 Series also allows users to share media files stored on PCs or other DLNA-compliant devices on the big-screen via AllShare. The attractive Touch of Color design adds a subtle black-to-dark blue accent to the set's bezel and exceeds the more stringent ENERGY STAR 4.0 standards.
Offering great value and features, the 3D-capable Plasma 490 Series is smartly wrapped in an attractive piano key black cabinet with a dark blue Touch of Color design. Delivering premium picture quality with its Clear Image Panel technology and 600Hz Subfield Motion technologies, the Plasma C490 showcases a high-performance picture quality at a great value.
The Samsung 680 Plasma Full HD 3D technology puts you into the action, with a large 50″ screen designed to let you take it all in. Samsung's Clear Image Panel technology makes it all enjoyable from any angle in the room, by reducing the distortion and blurring that's typical on conventional plasma TVs. The view is even more impressive, with Samsung blue Touch of Color design at the top and bottom of the bezel. And Samsung's advanced AllShare feature lets you wirelessly connect your HDTV to nearly any DLNA-enabled device. Stream videos from your PC, listen to music from your MP3 player, and more — while enjoying it all via your TV.
