Samsung Unveils New Luxia HDTVs

The annual Consumer Electronic Show is certainly the event where innovations make their debut. Aside from notebooks and other portable devices, HDTVs also made their mark at the show. Samsung for one took great center stage in unveiling a new line of televisions. The new range named Luxia is composed of energy-efficient high-definition televisions. Composing this new range are the Luxia 6000, 7000, and 8000 series. All of these models are installed with Samsung’s “Touch of Colour” image display that gives users the pleasure of viewing with high-contrast ratios, ultra-clear image details, and a wide range of colours.

These new models under the Luxia range are also energy-efficient because they have LED as their main source of light. This is used instead of the standard Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps or CCFLs. They also have Wide Color Enhancer Pro and Ultra Clear Clear that enables light to pass through the screen for better resolution.

What’s interesting about the 7000 and 8000 series is that they are Internet-ready TV. They have Samsung’s “Internet TV” content service which can be accessed via wires of wireless Ethernet connection. The 6000 series have Samsung’s Link RSS service. Other features of these range include USB ports for plug-and-play digital video, photos, and music.
