720p Resolution - 720p pixel resolution provides you with a whole new level of detail. Experience high-definition resolution with sharper images, brighter colors and darker blacks. FilterBright Display - FilterBright is a powerful anti-reflective film that absorbs external light and transmits internal light, thereby increasing the contrast levels and preventing unwanted reflection. In bright daylight, FilterBright creates high contrast with pure black to show clearer image details and generate superb industry-leading dark area representation. Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio - Experience an incredible level of detail with this Samsung HDTV. A high contrast ratio provides sharper images, more distinct colors and a more realistic appearance. 600Hz Subfield Motion - With this advanced feature, this Samsung HDTV showcases even more realistic motion with less motion artifacts on-screen. 0.001ms Response Time - Truly lightning-fast, this HDTV brings motion-heavy programming--like sports, action movies and adventure films--to life with smooth, realistic movement. Wide Color Enhancer 2 - Optimizes a given color's hue, resulting in more natural rendering of colors. Energy Star Compliant - This HDTV features up to 25 percent less energy consumption than standard TVs. Easy Connections - Connect your DVD player or Blu-ray Disc player using one of three HDMI connections for a one-cable solution. Also, Anynet Plus (HDMI-CEC) allows peripheral AV devices such as a DVD player to be controlled by a Samsung TV remote control.

Excellent buy!

"This is a beautiful plasma display for the money. I've calibrated the TV with a colorometer and software, and find that the picture is excellent with very natural skintones and beautiful colors. The TV's sound is average. The analog audio output jack is a nice feature, one that I need for my whole house audio, but it is not variable output. The volume of the analog output jacks is fixed, a bummer for how I have ..." Read Full Review »

HDMI is the only way to get a better dvd picture and to u..." Read Full Review »

"I've had the same 27 inch CRT since I was in college. When I bought it, it was a huge set up from the 19 inch that I grew up with.

However, ten years later, women would literally come to my apartment, point at the TV and laugh.

Figured it was timed to make the next step up. I brought the plasma an …" Read Full Review »

I researched this purchase extensively, and made extensive comparisons. Even buying both a 42" LG LCD 1080, 120hz and the 42" Samsung Plasma 720, 600hz to compare in my home.
