January 5, 2009 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Yahoo! Inc. today announced a new Internet-based service to Samsung televisions available in the spring of 2009. Select models in Samsung’s 2009 flat-panel HDTV line-up will be powered by the Yahoo! Widget Engine, a fifth-generation applications platform that enables TV watchers to interact with and enjoy a rich set of “TV Widgets.” TV Widgets make it easy to interact with Internet content and services to complement and enhance the traditional TV viewing experience. The lightweight Javascript and XML applications bring content, information and community features available on the Internet within easy reach of the remote control. The new televisions will be displayed at CES 2009 in Samsung’s booth located at Central Hall, Booth #11033.

Select models in Samsung’s 2009 flat-panel HDTV lines will support the new TV Widget service, called “Internet@TV - Content Service.” The service, which adapts the Yahoo! Widget Engine, enables users to engage in a variety of experiences that traditionally could only be enjoyed on a PC. Not only will users be able to track their stock portfolio and stay on top of headline news, but they may also browse through videos, share photos and interact with friends. Users can access the service by connecting the HDTV to a home network via the built-in Ethernet port or using an optional Wi-Fi USB dongle. Read more

Samsung recently released the latest generation of a very special projector, the SP-A800B, a stylish design that features the rare combination of professional quality video at a reasonable price (under $10,000). This projector combines the latest DLP chip technology, 1080p broadcast quality video, and the ability to correctly project 24 frames per second motion pictures just as filmmakers intended.

For the technically inclined, the projector uses the latest TI DLP chip set featuring a native resolution of 1920x1080, a spectacular lens with adjustable iris settings, and superb on-board deinterlacing. It also is the only projector in this price range that provides (accurately) the three most popular worldwide color standards right out of the box: HDTV, EBU, and SMPTE-C at no extra charge. If you do not know what all this technobabble means, don’t worry. What you will know after seeing the projector in action is that it provides virtually unmatched color fidelity, deep blacks, and a picture that’s better than what you would see at your local cinema.
