Expanding on the introduction of the world's first 3D-ready DLP HDTVs in 2007, Samsung Electronics have announced the introduction of four new models in their Series 6 lineup.

The Series 6 DLP HDTVs will be available from April 2008 in 50 inch, 56 inch, 61 inch and 72 inch sizes.

The new Series 6 DLP HDTVs offer consumers increased value while integrating innovative features that lead Samsung’s portfolio of Micro Display and Flat Panel HDTV offerings for 2008.

The Series 6 DLP HDTVs not only feature larger screens and Full HD 1080p clarity for sports, movies and gaming, they also offer the latest in networking and 3D technologies.

Housed in a slim cabinet with a narrow bezel, the Series 6’s hidden speakers make it aesthetically pleasing, as well as technologically advanced.

Multimedia users will enjoy easy functionality with portable devices. MP3 players, PMPs, and thumb drives can all be used via the HDTV’s WiseLink USB 2.0 input, while three HDMI-CEC side ports make it easy to plug in Blu-ray, HD-DVD players, HD camcorders and game consoles for immediate use.

“Samsung is steadfastly committed to remaining a leader in the DLP space in 2008 and beyond with a strong investment in product development fueling the consistent introduction of innovative and affordable DLP HDTVs,” said Steve Panosian, director of Visual Display Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “Building on the success of our innovative technology, we’ve incorporated several new upgrades, such as WiseLink 2.0 (USB) and HDMI V1.3 for enhanced connectivity, allowing consumers to access a wide range of content through their TVs. In addition, DLP has been proven to be an energy efficient HDTV category, and Samsung continues to focus on making DLP the most energy efficient possible.”

“Consumers will also enjoy a total 3-D experience, with the finest in sound and picture resolution,” added Panosian. “The 2008 6 series DLP TV will feature built-in 3-D technology and entertainment modes that automatically optimize both audio and video quality to deliver the best movie, sports, and gaming experience possible. The new remote design includes dedicated “Entertainment Mode” buttons making split-second adjustments possible. Samsung’s 3D-technology co-marketing plans include a starter kit accessory acclimating even novice users to this unique application.”
