Put it Anywhere:
The 3.9" deep PS50A550  gives you the luxury of choosing between hanging your TV on the wall or placing it on a stand.

Bright and Vivid Picture:
The Samsung PS50A550 offers unrivaled picture quality for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to plasma technology you can view images with amazing clarity, brightness, and contrast. The PS50A550  can display up to 1,070 million colors and is one of the brightest displays with a contrast ratio of 15000:1. All this leads to a much more vivid television experience.

16:9 Wide Screen:
You no longer have to deal with cropped off images while watching some of your favorite movies. With its wide screen 16:9 aspect ratio you can now watch movies in their original format. In fact, the 16:9 aspect ratio is one of the most important aspects of the PS50A550  since all future HDTV signals will be broadcast in this format.    

Wide Viewing Angle:
The PS50A550  offers a completely flat viewing surface with a 160 degree viewing angle. The expansive viewing angle means that you can watch your favorite programs from nearly anywhere in your living room without distortions common to rear-projection TV's or TFT monitors.

Cure for Sore Eyes:
Traditionally, video signals are transmitted using an interlacing format where two separate frames are transposed to create one single frame. This results in flicker that can lead to eye fatigue and soreness. This flicker problem is eliminated with the progressive scanning process where video images are transmitted in one single complete frame. The PS50A550  is compatible with all progressive scanning signals from high quality DVD players and HDTV decoders, and other high-end video equipment to produce brilliant flicker-free images.

PC Ready:
The PS50A550  is PC ready. You now have the ability to use your plasma TV with any SXGA, XGA, SVGA, or VGA computer video signals. With Samsung's PS50A550  you not only have a TV, but a 42" computer monitor as well.

Digital Television for Today and Tomorrow:
The Samsung PS50A550  allows you to enjoy your favorite TV programming today while being prepared for the future. The PS50A550  is an HDTV monitor and can support both HDTV (1080p, 1080i and 720p) and EDTV/SDTV (480p and 480i) input signals. This allows you to enjoy the shows of today, with much better picture quality, and be prepared for the future of HDTV offerings.
