News & Alert : SAMSUNG Introduces 70” Full-HD LCD TV with Local Dimming Technology
Meanwhile, Samsung's LED scanning eliminates the flicker and ghosting problems associated with large-screen LCD TVs.
“I am pleased to introduce the 70” Full-HD LCD TV with innovative Local Dimming Technology,” said JongWoo Park, President of the Digital Media Business, Samsung Electronics. “Samsung will continue to strengthen its LCD TV leadership, enhancing Full-HD and large screen LCD TV line-up.”
A high-gloss, “piano black” bezel and titanium chrome trim accentuate the elegance and sophistication of Samsung's new 70” full-HD LCD TV. The dual hidden speakers and rear woofer deliver the rich sound quality to match the larger-than-life on-screen images.
Samsung plans to put the product on sale worldwide in the second half of this year. Samsung is the largest LCD TV supplier in January-March this year with 17.4 percent share by revenue, according to Display Search.
Terminology
Local dimming backlighting : The conventional, bar-shaped CCFL backlight is replaced by an LED backlight consisting of hundreds of light source. The lit parts of the on-screen image can brightened to the maximum while all light is shut off in the dark areas of the screen. The result is the ultimate contrast ratio. Moreover, the reduction of brightness in the dark areas also cuts power consumption by as much as half.
LED scanning : The LEDs are rapidly shut off in sequence, artificially eliminating the ghosting of the moving images.]]>

News & Alert : Firmware Update For Voice Control On Applicable 2012 Model TVs
No title
Samsung is
releasing a new firmware update for 2012 TVs that have the Voice
Control feature. This update is designed to improve the overall performance
of the Voice Control feature and make the commands easier to deliver and for
the TV to understand.
The firmware update will change the power-on command
from the existing "Hi TV" to "Hi TV, Power On". (The same
change would apply if you have the command set to "Smart TV" in the
menu as well). This
change will avoid any confusion both with the commands themselves as well as the way
the TV is interpreting the commands.
If you are experiencing any kind
of trouble using the Voice Control to power on your TV, please update the firmware
via the Support menu of your TV, or by downloading it from Samsung.com. When
the firmware becomes available, it will be posted in the Download Center of
your particular model TV. Please
feel free to contact us via phone, email, chat, or your favorite social networking

News & Alert : The Triple Ball Effect and LNT 71 Series LCD TVs
The triple ball effect (TBE) - in which fast moving objects such as thrown footballs appear in triplicate or have trails - occurs on Samsung LNT 71 series LCD TVs (LN-T4671, LN-T5271, etc.) when you turn on the Motion Plus function.
Samsung has a firmware update for LNT 71 series TVs that eliminates TBE when the Motion Plus function is set to low and mostly eliminates TBE when Motion Plus is set to medium. It does not, however, eliminate TBE when Motion Plus is set to high. We are working on an update that eliminates TBE when Motion Plus is set to high, and hope to have this available soon.
Note: After the firmware update is installed, some sets may still display TBE when Motion Plus is set to medium.
To get the current firmware update, please call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-Samsung (1-800-726-7864). Please have the model number and serial number of your TV on hand when you call.
Recommendations for Using Motion Plus
After you install the firmware update, please follow these recommendations:
• Set Motion Plus to low or medium only. Do not set it to high.
• If you see the TBE when you set Motion Plus to medium, reset Motion Plus to low.
• Only use Motion Plus when you are watching sporting events and other events or programs where there is fast motion.
• Turn off Motion Plus when watching programs that do not have fast motion. Leaving Motion Plus on for programs that do not have fast motion can cause the picture to stutter

News & Alert : SAMSUNG Announces Advanced Multi-standard, Multi-band Mobile TV Chipset
"Although a new market, we see high growth potential in mobile TV applications," said Yiwan Wong, vice president, System LSI Division, Semiconductor Business, Samsung Electronics. "With initial product launch targets for the Europe and Asia markets, we are introducing our high performance mobile TV chipset technology with added feature support to serve the needs of the entire mobile TV industry."
Samsung's new multi-standard, multi-band mobile TV chipset integrates a broad range of segment standards. As countries worldwide introduce their mobile TV service standards, this chipset allows end users to choose which broadcasting services they want to use without changing their mobile application.
The multi-standard channel decoder, which transforms the analog signal into digital signal in order to restore the image and audio source, is fully compliant to DVB-H/T, T-DMB, DAB, DAB-IP, and ISDB-T 1 segment standards. Samsung applies its advanced 65nm technology for higher performance and cost effectiveness. The high signal reception rate is a core characteristic, which realizes a smooth mobile TV experience even on high-speed trains.
The multi-band RF tuner, which receives the analog broadcast signal, has a simplified circuit structure by applying a low IF to compliment the conventional zero IF. It is also a general purpose tuner that supports UHF, VHF and L-band commonly used in Europe and the United States. The wide use of the RF tuner compliments the advanced performance of the multi-standard channel decoder.
This new chipset is offered either as two standalone ICs or as a system-in-chip package (SiP) which places together the RF tuner and the channel chip on a single module package.
Samsung provides extensive customer support in terms of software, reference platforms, test solutions and extended component line up such as the application processor. The multi level of support decreases the development time needed for the handset and mobile applications designers to create new mobile TV functionalities.
This new mobile TV chipset requires no external low noise amplifier (LNA) and additional memory ICs, significantly reducing the bill-of-materials (BOM) cost of the total system. The chipset supports Link Layer processing to output fully error-corrected IP datagrams or MPEG2 transport streams.
According to market research firm Strategic Analytics the mobile TV market is expected to reach 12 million units in 2007 and 130 million units by 2011 at a compounded annual growth rate of 67 percent
Samsung's new multi-standard channel decoder (S3C4F31) and multi-band RF tuner (S5M8602) chipset is now sampling with mass production slated for the fourth quarter of 2007.
