Samsung Electronics has announced a new RSS feed capability built in to its Series 6 and 7 LCD TVs. The Internet information services are enabled and updated through the HDTV’s Ethernet port.
Additionally, the Series 6 features a distinctive TOC (Touch of Colour) design in the 2008 line-up. Samsung’s has used a moulding process that eliminates the need for glue or screws to construct the television cabinets – which gives the casing a clean, smooth finish with a smidgen of colour.
Series 6 will feature RSS content and a ‘touch of colour’
The Series 6 also provides a 178-degree viewing angle from all four axes as well as overall picture improvements in LCD panel technology. Furthermore, the company’s Full HD (1080p) panel uses a new high-speed liquid crystal to cut response time to 4ms.
A wide variety of multimedia devices can be connected to the set through any one of the four Simplay compliant HDMI 1.3 inputs (including one on the side). Once connected, users can easily access device menus and manage and display content through the newly redesigned Wheel Key Remote control and the HDTV’s sophisticated content management interface.
The Series 6 Full HD LCD TVs will be available in March of 2008 in the following sizes: 40-inches, 46-inches and 52-inches (Model numbers LN40A650T, LN46A650T, LN46A650T and LN52A650T).
Additionally, the Series 7 has a side mounted USB port takes which allows users to play MPEG and JPEG files stored on external devices turning their LCD into a full-scale home viewing gallery, or connect their MP3 players for a dynamic audio experience. The Series 7 also features internal flash memory loaded with premium content to enjoy right out of the box, as well as an integrated woofer for an enhanced audio experience.
