Samsung PN59D8000

A 59-inch plasma HDTV with a 1,920 by 1,080 resolution, the Samsung PN59D8000 ($2,999 list) offers a contrast ratio in the millions, full 3D video support and more. This TV comes with more like an even further reduced bezel size, a suite of web apps including Skype and built-in Wi-Fi among other features.

Design and Features
This line of Samsung TVs is laser-focused on minimalism, with its greatly reduced bezel size, thanks to the company's Plasma +1 technology. The 1.5-inch thin frame rests on a sleek, chrome four-legged stand that swivels to support the plasma display's viewing angle. This glossy black Samsung TV has a touch of clear plastic lining its edges, and comes with four HDMI ports, two USB ports and plenty more connections.

Users would find hardware that powers a 25 million to 1 contrast ratio, a 0.001 millisecond response time and a 600Hz subfield drive, or refresh rate, inside the PN59D8000. A Real Black Filter within this plasma display improves contrast ratio and reduces image glare.

Through AllShare, users can view video content on their PN59D8000 through other DLNA-certified devices. ConnectShare allows this Samsung plasma display to play video and audio through USB-connected flash drives and other devices. The PN59D8000 is an Energy Star compliant product.
