Samsung PN50C680 Plasma Television Review

It�s back to the Samsung pile to get us today�s dose of plasma fun, and we�ve got another great one in the form of the Samsung PN50C680. We�ve had a lot of good Samsungs, and thankfully, this one will match up.

The Samsung PN50C680 is a fifty inch 1080p plasma television that offers two ten watt speakers with SRS TruSurround, a game mode for improved image quality in high-speed video situations, Samsung�s Touch of Color for an extra aesthetic push, BD Wise systems, ConnectShare to access those USB drives through the television, Anynet Plus, four HDMI inputs, a USB port, a PC input, two component inputs, a headphone jack, two composite inputs and a digital audio output.

The display looks great�fifty inch 1080p is hard to do much else but look great�and the sound is also pretty nice at that. Once again SRS TruSurround shows up and gives everything a sorely needed shot in the arm. And also, you�ll get a nice mix here between support for old and new components. It�s a very nicely put together package overall, and that should get your interest.

What will clearly keep that interest, however, is that two places are selling these for under a thousand bucks each, and that�s an excellent price for a high quality piece of hardware like this.

The Samsung PN50C680 is big, looks great, sounds great and is priced right, so if you�re looking for a new television to cap off your home theater, give this one a second look.

Samsung LN40C560 LCD Television Review

Our look at the LCD television, ahead of the big game this Sunday, continues on with one of Samsung�s many delightful LCDs�the Samsung LN40C560, a surprisingly potent system that will manage to do a good job on price besides.

The Samsung LN40C560 is a forty inch 1080p LCD television that offers Samsung�s Touch of Color design (Charcoal Gray, specifically), ConnectShare Movie to allow content to stream from thumb drives or digital cameras, a game mode to enhance playback in high speed situations like gaming, wide color enhancer systems, the AllShare system that lets you stream video and audio from your PC to the television, two ten watt speakers with DNSe, AnyNet Plus, four HDMI ports, two USB ports and one PC input.

This is a great one if you�ve got a whole lot of new equipment, or if you�re looking for a television to use as a huge computer monitor, because it�s heavy on the HDMI, or rather, it�s almost exclusive on the HDMI. It�s kind of a tough sale, really, because it�s so dependent on new hardware, or at the very least, a receiver with an HDMI connector. Under any other set of circumstances, this television will be mostly useless to you.

Aside from that, though, the television itself is pretty nice. The sound quality is a bit on the lackluster side having no real augmentation for its dual ten-watt speakers outside of DNSe, but the picture quality is really very sharp, especially for forty inches, which is really about the lowest of the truly big screens.

And considering that the folks out at Amazon want six hundred fifty bucks for one of these, it�s a pretty good setup, assuming you�ve got just the right circumstances for it. The Samsung LN40C560 will not be for everybody, but it will do a terrific job, under just the right conditions.

Nvidia�s Tegra 2 Dominates CES On Tablets and Super Phones 2011

Since the announcement of Tegra 2 last year and the army of tablets it was meant to power, we�ve been cautiously excited about the possibilities this system on a chip offers. Though we had a longer wait than expected � the first Tegra 2 tablet just came out a few weeks ago � the products we�ve seen at this year�s show prove that it was worth the wait. Not only are we seeing the ultra-portable multimedia powerhouse tablets Nvidia promised, but now Tegra 2 has kicked the super phone category into high gear.

The LG Optimus 2X, Motorola Atrix 4G, and the Motorola Droid Bionic all have the power to output 1080p video and 7.1 audio via HDMI and allow users to watch and interact with Flash web content without compromise. Plus, users can experience PC-level gaming on smart phones, just as with their tablet brethren. That�s some serious power in your pocket. And it makes Android phones just as great for portable, handheld gaming as they are for keeping you connected.

The wide adoption of Tegra 2 may have some interesting side effects down the road. When we met with the company this week, they talked about how, on the PC side, they�re used to quickly releasing updates to drives and software. They�re looking to continue that trend for tablets and phones, which may result in much faster updates to new versions of Android.

Thanks to Android 3.0 and Nvidia, there will also be more synchronicity between what�s available on phones and tablets. Tegra 2 devices will all have access to the Tegra Zone app store, which features games developed specifically to run in the Tegra environment. There will be just five games at launch � Dungeon Defender (first game for Android built with Unreal Engine 3), Monster Madness, Fruit Ninja, Backbreaker THD, and Galaxy on Fire. Nvidia is working with developers to bring more titles over from PC gaming into Android gaming, and we can�t wait for the result.

Take a look at these clips from this week�s Nvidia press conference showing the LG Optimus 2X playing a Flash game, a MMORPG, and a game with complex 3D elements.

CES 2010: Samsung unveils C9000, C8000 & C7000 LED-TVs

Samsung has unveiled their complete 2010 portfolio of LED-TVs at CES 2010. You can start drooling because the 2010 Samsung line-ip is more beautiful than ever. Samsung's new high-end series are to be called 7000, 8000 and 9000 and supports 3D. The 9000 model is only 8 mm thick.

We have now received Samsung C8000 for a review: Samsung 3D LED-TV (C8000) received.

Samsung LED TV C9000.

Samsung has exhibited their new flagship. The 9000 series is thinner than ever and more beautiful than ever with a design in silver metal and black. The new LED-TV (LCD with LED) also features 3D support, which can be enjoyed with 3D content in 2010.
The secret behind the ultra-thin frame of 8 mm is a Edge LED backlight, where the LEDs have been placed along the edges of the panel. In order to make the 9000 series even thinner, Samsung has also moved some of the control electronics into the stand, which can be rearranged when TV needs to be wall mounted.
Samsung's new 9000 series can display true 3D content together with a 3D Blu-ray players, but it can also convert 2D content into 3D (although the quality is probably far from true 3D).
Developed with a completely new remote control the 9000 series seeks the Apple look. The new remote has a touch-sensitive screen. The remote can even function as an extra screen, and you can watch TV directly on your remote while watching Blu-Ray on the TV.

You can even browse through all your music, photos and video from another PC at home using DLNA technology. Once you've found the vacation photos from last year on the extra screen on the remote, you can "beat the air" with the remote towards the TV and the content will now be displayed full screen on your TV.
The 9000 series incorporates 240 / 200 Hz technology (which is required for 3D), as well as Samsung�s Internet@TV. Internet@TV features a wide range of online services such as YouTube, Twitter, etc.

Samsung has also integrated the newly developed "Samsung Apps" system. Samsung App is a store similar to Apple's App Store, where various developers and consumers can create applications for your TV. Internet@TV is of course wireless.
The Samsung C9000 series will be available in 46-inches (UE-46C9000) and 55 inches (UE-55C9000) later this year. No words on prices.

Samsung LED TV C8000

Samsung has also presented their 8000 series of LED-TVs, which has a new design that combines silver metal with a transparent framework.

The 8000 series is not as slim as its big brother in the 9000 series but Samsung proclaims that even though the 8000 series has Edge LED technology, the R&D department have been able to utilize some of the advantages of the local dimming system.
It�s hard to tell what Samsung means by this because local dimming technologies is typically associated with LEDs behind the LCD panel (backlit LED).
The 8000 series also supports 3D and converts 2D to 3D. It has a 240 / 200 Hz system, and Internet@TV, DLNA and Samsung Apps.

Samsung has also developed a new stand for the 8000 series, which consists of four legs in metal. The stand has been designed as a piece of furniture, according to Samsung.
Samsung�s new remote is not included with the 8000 series, but can be purchased separately.

8000 series will be available in 32� (UE-32C8000, only 100 Hz) 40� (UE-40C8000), 46� (UE-46C8000), 55� (UE-55C8000) and 65� (UE-65C8000). In stores in the second quarter of 2010.

Samsung LED-TV C7000
The next step is called the 7000 series and it features the same four-legged stand as the 8000 series. The design is based on Samsung's "Touch of Color" philosophy from the 2009 models.


The 7000 series is slim because of an Edge LED backlight but without the so-called local dimming feature from tthe 8000 series.

The 7000 series also incoporates 3D and converts 2D to 3D. It has a 240 / 200 Hz system, Internet@TV, DLNA and Samsung Apps.
Samsung's new remote control is not included with the 7000 series, but can be purchased separately.

The 7000 series will be available in 40� (UE-40C7000), 46� (UE-462C7000) and 55-inches (UE-55C78000). In stores in the second quarter of 2010.

Samsung C6500 and C5000 LED-TVs
Finally, Samsung will market two "small" LED-TV series without 3D support. These are the C6500 series and C5000 series.
The 6500 series has 100 Hz, Touch of Color design, DLNA, Samsung Apps. It will be launched in the first half of 2010. Samsung also mentions a DVB-S (satellite) tuner.

The 5000 series focuses on low power consumption, has DLNA, and USB.
The 6500 series will be available in 32� (UE-32C6500), 37� (UE-37C6500), 40� (UE-40C6500), 46� (UE-46C6500) and 55� (UE-55C6500) and sees the light of the day in the second quarter of 2010.
