The UE55C9000 houses up-to-the-minute technology but it’s also a
wonderful piece of design. It features a beautiful brushed metal finish
and it’s incredibly slim at just 1cm deep.
Its slim dimensions are made possible by LED backlighting technology.
LED lights use much less energy than standard LCD and offer more precise
control of colour, contrast and clarity.
The sound system and AV inputs have also been cleverly integrated into
the stand.
It also arrives with an impressive full-colour touchscreen remote
control. It’s great for social networking applications thanks to the
on-screen ‘qwerty’ keyboard.
This TV features an integrated Freeview HD tuner which will allow you to
watch subscription-free HD broadcasts. To watch Freeview HD broadcasts
you’ll need to check that you can receive it in your area.
A Full HD 1080p resolution and the Samsung HyperReal Engine deliver
dazzling images with rich colour and vivid details. It’s a great choice
for sports and action movies thanks to 200Hz Motion Plus processing
which analyses and adjusts every frame so nothing goes by in a blur. The
Ultra Clear Panel is also able to reduce reflection and increase
contrast for a better picture.
Using Allshare (powered by DLNA) you’ll be able to transfer videos,
music and photos from your compatible PC or mobile device wirelessly and
effortlessly. A USB port allows you to directly connect devices and
display photos and video. It’s also Personal Video Recorder ready so you
can plug in a high speed USB memory drive into the USB port and record
your favourite shows in HD.
Another exciting feature is Internet@TV which provides a gateway to a
multitude of entertainment ranging from video, music, social networking,
news and games content. Simply connect to the internet via Ethernet
cable or the Samsung wireless LAN adaptor (available separately).
Please note: This TV cannot be wall mounted.
Full HD 1080p
1080p is the purest form of high definition that a television can
display. This leads to a smoother, more film-like image, which will
satisfy sports and movie lovers alike. With a 1080p signal, the
information that makes up an image is displayed “progressively” or all
at once, rather than in an “interlaced” fashion.
LED technology
LCD TVs featuring LED backlighting have greater contrast ratios – blacks
appear blacker – leading to a sharper image. They are also slimmer,
consume less power than similarly-sized traditional LCDs and are mercury
free.
