LCD, LED or Plasma?

Visually Stunning

Samsung LED Backlighting Technology delivers breakthrough picture quality in an ultra slim design. These TVs offer mega contrast ratios—the brightest white to the darkest black a TV is capable of producing— and advanced internet connectivity features that let you download apps to your TV. These are Samsung’s best TVs ever.

LED (light-emitting diode) screens are actually LCD screens that use LED lights behind the screen. This can be done in two ways—by using LEDs across the entire back of the display, or just around the perimeter of the display which is known as “edge-lit.” This second kind of display uses a diffusion panel to spread light across the entire screen.

Energy-Saving and Easy to Wall-Mount

LED TVs are highly efficient power consumers. In fact, depending on the series and screen size, Samsung’s LED TVs in standard mode can be up to 50 percent more efficient than the latest ENERGY STAR specifications.

These TVs are lightweight, easy to wall-mount and move from one room to another. They work equally well in dark or brightly lit rooms, and come in a range of sizes. Some models are 3D capable and can even convert 2D movies to 3D with the touch of a button.

Speed and Brilliance

Lightweight, stylish and slim, our TV as you’d like: anything from about 5” all the way up to 65”.

Also Use as a PC Monitor Full 1080p HD Resolution

LCDs can be moved around easily or placed anywhere. You can use them as both a superb PC monitor and an amazing TV without sacrificing picture quality. Cabinet depth is only two or three inches, giving them a slim, stylish profile. Some models are 3D capable and can convert 2D images to 3D with the touch of a button.

Smooth Action

Plasma screens light up small cells of gases (xenon and neon) between two plates of glass, which offer very bright, crisp images, even on a large screen surface. With a slim and sophisticated design, our plasmas offer an amazing picture with smooth action scenes, the deepest blacks, and brightest whites.

Sharp Realism

Plasma offers a large screen size (which ranges typically from 42” to 63”). It works well in dimly lit rooms (which is great for watching movies), offers high contrast ratios, gorgeously saturated colors, and allows for wide viewing angles—meaning every seat in the house is a great one.

Ideal for Sports

Because it can track fast-moving images without motion blur, plasma is ideal for watching action-packed sports or playing video games. (The sharpness of visual detail is astonishing.) With cabinet depths now as thin as 1.4”, plasma profiles have never been slimmer. Some models are 3D capable and can convert 2D images to 3D with the touch of a button.

Questions to Ask Before Shopping:

Which room are you buying the TV for?

Do you want a huge wall-mounted screen for a cinema-like effect? Or something that is more portable?

Do you need PC connectivity, or Internet connectivity, so you can download favorite apps?

Do you want to enhance your home décor with slim, high-tech design, such as a brushed titanium or charcoal grey set?

• Just got a 43" 450 Series Plasma -- Love it! Great picture clarity and color. Built in speakers are actually loud enough and clear enough to use -- making for a nice clean look hanging on my bedroom wall.

Plasma: Burn in not as bad as earlier models,but still exist; Cheapest in price cause of Led; Heavy in weight; Greatest picture quality; Highest energy bill, but getting better; The former champ's going down swinging, For the fat cats who can make it rain!! Led: Highest in price, but getting better; Lightest in weight; Picture quality quickly catching up to plasma; Best all-around bang for your buck !!!!

• Great article telling the three different technology's. Recently I bought the 59 inch 600 series plasma and all i can say is WoW on how great the picture is. The colors are hundred times better on a plasma and second if you like to watch sports, movies, and play video games the 600 hrz refresh rate is a must. Im sorry all the led- lcd or lcd lovers these sets stink when it comes to images moving on the screen, and the soap opera effect is horrible. Like one person said "Looks like it was shot with a home video camera. Last is cost factor for the size you want if you like them big plasma has the best price for anything over 46 inchs.
