Samsung Electronics Introduces World's Largest TFT LCD Television

Continuing its expansion as a leader in the consumer electronics industry, Samsung unveiled its Thin Film Transistor, Liquid Crystal Display (TFT LCD) 54-inch television, the world's largest TFT LCD TV. Previously, a flat panel TV of this size was possible only with plasma display panel technology, not with TFT LCD, which features a crisper image, higher resolution, and much less power consumption. Samsung's new 54-inch TFT LCD TV also excels in performance. Its less than 12 ms response time, a crucial indicator of a TFT LCD TV's motion picture capability, ensures a smooth playback of even the most action-packed visual contents. Also, with the 1920 x 1080 resolution and 16:9 screen ratio, it is fully HD-ready to accommodate future changes in broadcasting. The image on-screen is exceptionally bright, crisp, and vibrant with brightness of 550 cd/m2, contrast ratio of 800:1, and color temperature of 10,000 K.Despite the unprecedented 54-inch screen size, the 54-inch TFT LCD TV is exceptionally thin and light, even for a flat-panel television. The TFT LCD module is only 2 inches thick and weighs 44 pounds, making mounting installation easier than other models currently available. In addition, the 54-inch TFT LCD TV can also double as a gigantic computer display due to its built-in DVI-I port. These advanced features and unprecedented screen size, combined with TFT LCD's inherent crisp display characteristics, make the 54-inch TFT LCD TV one of the most advanced display products available on the market.For more information about Samsung Electronics America, Inc., visit www.samsungusa.com.
