The Samsung PN42C450 has a 42″ display panel using the plasma technology. It can dish out images with a maximum of 720p, thanks to a native 1365 x 768 pixels resolution. There are a collection of imaging technologies within it that lets you have quality HD viewing and video gaming. Additionally, HDMI support and single remote device management make setting up and operating this unit trouble-free.
One of the reasons why consumers go for a plasma display is because of its capability to be wall mounted. Such allows you to save space and make heads turn. Having a slim profile measuring only 2.7″, it’s just like having a high-tech artwork on your wall, turned on or off. However, all the features that pave the way for true HD enjoyment step into the picture as soon as it breathes to life.
A 600Hz display panel with Subfield Motion helps retain sharpness of images, no matter how fast the action gets. Motion blurring is a common problem shared by plasma televisions available these days. Not only does it take away all the action in sports, action flicks and games, but it can also give you an eye strain. But 600Hz flashes as much as 600 frames each second to help eliminate motion blur.
Another problem common among these units is the washed out look of images, especially when viewed from an angle. Good thing that Samsung has thrown into the PN42C450 a 2000000:1 dynamic contrast ratio to deal with this issue. Now blacks are rendered at their deepest and whites are rendered at their most brilliant. Such is key to achieving crisp details and life-like colors.
Reflected light on the display panel is something that keeps you from positioning the TV in the room just the way you like it. You need to ensure that no glare gets in the way of your TV viewing, coming from windows, skylights or artificial lighting fixtures. But the Ultra Clear panel on this unit simply absorbs light, thereby minimizing the existence of glare. Now you can place the television no matter where you want and still not worry about glare.
Simultaneous hooking up 3 AV devices of your choice is possible as it comes with 3 HDMI supports. It’s through this interface that uncompressed HD signals can be transmitted. Further, fitted onto the body of this stunner is a hi-speed USB dock. Through ConnectShare, the PN42C450 can be used as a gigantic photo frame by simply attaching a USB-enabled device that contains your JPEG photos.
Get more entertainment and less confusion each and every time with the Anynet+ control solution. This paves the way for easy operation with the use of one intelligent remote control. Best of all, it can also help you manage AV devices connected to the television through HDMI. Aside from saving you from complicated operation, your living space is also spared from unnecessary remote control clutter.
