DEPTH MATTERS: SAMSUNG¡¯S NEW LINE OF SLIMFIT HD TELEVISIONS MAKE A CONTEMPORARY STYLE STATEMENT IN HOME THEATER DESIGN
Slim on Design and Fat on Picture Quality, These New Televisions Answer Consumer Demand for Affordable Slim Style HDTV
LAS VEGAS - January 8, 2007 - In 2006, Samsung Electronics dominated the CRT HDTV market standing tall at number one in dollar and unit share with more than 50 percent©ö. This leadership standing was due to its revolutionary new line of SlimFit HDTVs, an affordable HD option that is designed to be close to one-third thinner than traditional CRT TVs.
In 2007, Samsung will continue its revitalization of the CRT category by launching three elegant, space-saving SlimFit TVs that deliver breathtaking clarity, stunningly vibrant colors and a luxurious home theater experience ? all in a sleek, contemporary design. Offering picture quality with excellent CRT technology, Samsung¡¯s new models offer greater connectivity, enhanced HDTV picture, and design options that complement any home decor. The less than $1,000 price tag (one 2007 model going as low as $499) gives consumers the flat panel look they want without the flat panel cost. ¡°Now that HDTV has been around for a few years and content becomes more widely available, Samsung brings the benefits of HDTV to the masses with an affordable and aesthetic design,¡± said John Revie, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. ¡°Some manufacturers have written off the CRT category altogether, but Samsung has pooled its design and marketing resources to deliver what our sales numbers show consumers are demanding ? an affordable HDTV with a flat panel look.¡±
