Perhaps
in order to keep the keen eyes of both consumers and press away from
the huge scandal involving its top management, the Korean company
Samsung has decided that this is the best time to throw some pretty
nifty new products on the market, some of them designed especially to
occupy the central position in the users' entertainment centers.

So, without further ado, let's see what old Sammy has in store for us:
first of all, the company has unveiled two brand new lines of LCD
HDTVs, the Series 6 650 and Series 7 750; then, in order to offer users
something to play their Blu-ray movies on, Samsung has also announced
the release of a fourth generation Blu-ray player, the BD-P1500,
accompanied by the HT-AS720 Home Theater Audio System.
First of all, let's see what the LCDs are all about. According to the
company's statement, the main point of attraction offered by the new
Series 6 650 and Series 7 750 is Samsung's ToC (Touch of Color) design,
which features a hint of red color naturally blended into a
semi-transparent piano black bezel, allowing the HDTV to harmonize with
any dйcor.
However, the devices provide a lot more than a nice exterior. Thus, the
Series 6 and 7 LCD HDTVs deliver a superior 1080p picture with up to a
50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, featuring crisp detail and vibrant
colors supported by Samsung's Auto Motion Plus 120Hz and Ultra Clear
Panel technologies.
Beyond
improving picture quality, the Series 6 and Series 7 LCD HDTVs also
offers users Samsung's InfoLink RSS service powered by USA Today, as
well as access to the user’s digital media via USB 2.0 with WiseLink.
It's also interesting to mention that users are given quite a wide
range of purchase choices. Thus, the Series 6 Full HD LCD TVs are
supposed to already be available in the following sizes: 19.0-inches,
22.0-inches, 31.5-inches, 39.9-inches, 45.9-inches and 52.2-inches,
with the price tags ranging from around 500 US dollars up to 3,200 US
dollars. On the other hand, the 39.9-inch, 45.9-inch and 52.0-inch
models from the 7 series will hit the shelves at some point in May
2008, their prices ranging between $2,600 and 3,500.
As mentioned earlier, the Korean company has also announced the release
of a 4th generation Blu-ray player, the BD-P1500, supposed to
significantly improve the home viewing experience. Furthermore, the
BD-P1500 can upconvert standard DVDs to 720p, 1080i and 1080p
resolutions and offers Full HD video playback capabilities for very
clear pictures.
Designed
with fans of multimedia technology in mind, the BD-P1500 easily
connects to other digital devices through an HDMI 1.3 port with CEC for
expanded color delivery and easy home theater control. The P1500 has BD
Profile 1.1 Bonus View and is BD Live Ready. With its built-in Ethernet
connection and USB input users can quickly upgrade their BD-P1500 with
the latest firmware which ensures the player remains at the cutting
edge of Blu-ray technology.
Additionally, true audiophiles will love the BD-P1500 for going beyond
standard Dolby Digital audio playback to include Dolby Digital Plus,
Dolby TruHD and DTS-HD High resolution (scheduled to available later
this year via firmware update).
The BD-P1500 will be available in June 2008 and will retail for around
550 US dollars, which is a bit pricey, but after all, latest technology
always seems to be on the expensive side, isn't it?
