Product News : SAMSUNG’s Series 6 630 LCD HDTVs Deliver Top Design And Cutting-Edge Features For A Balanced Full HD Entertainment Experience

January 26th, 2010

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., July 23, 2008 – Samsung Electronics America Inc., the market leader in flat screen HDTV design and innovation, offers consumers more options for bringing a “Touch of Color” to their home entertainment center with the Series 6 630 LCD HDTVs. The bezel of the LCD HDTVs incorporates Samsung’s ToC™ (Touch of Color) design now with a new, narrower frame. Accentuating the forward-thinking design, the Series 6 630 delivers a stunning full HD 1080p picture with up to a 40,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and utilizes Samsung’s latest Auto Motion Plus 120Hz™ technology for pristine picture clarity even with the fastest onscreen action. “The Series 6 630 LCD HDTVs carry the quality that has helped make Samsung HDTVs a first choice for both consumers looking to step up to full HD entertainment, and home theater aficionados alike,” said Jonas Tanenbaum, Vice President of LCD Television Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “With the revolutionary ‘Touch of Color’ narrow bezel and advanced 1080p and entry to 120Hz picture technology, the Series 6 630 LCDs are a worthy balance of both the latest features and design elements available today.”Touch of Color™Samsung’s Series 6 630 flat screen LCDs with the narrow Touch of Color bezel employ dual-injection molding technology which embeds color material rather than using paint or dye. By controlling the density of the transparent and opaque material used in the process, the resulting bezel mimics a natural sunset with distinct red and black gradation. Ambient light levels can adjust the strength of the red hue’s brightness, and the narrow bezel ensures viewers are not distracted from enjoying their favorite movies, sports, games, and more onscreen. Since color is infused into the TV’s bezel and not painted on, no VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) are emitted for lower CO2 emissions during production. The idea of ToC ultimately stems from Samsung’s desire to give consumers a well-designed HDTV that fits into any home both as an entertainment hub, and as an interior decoration.WiseLink™With the USB 2.0 interface on the Series 6 630 LCD, consumers can instantly access and sort through MP3 audio and JPEG images found on a flash memory drive. Share favorite songs and pictures with the entire family in the comfort of your living room rather than huddling around a computer.Wide Color Enhancer 2Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology maximizes the expanded color range used in HDTV broadcasting. Reds, greens, and blues are strengthened to bring depth and intensity to images that may appear weak on another display, allowing consumers to appreciate the look originally intended by the movie’s director, or game’s developer.Auto Motion Plus 120Hz™Designed to minimize the motion judder and image blurring that can occur in fast-paced action scenes or sports broadcasts, Samsung’s Auto Motion Plus 120Hz™ technology featured in the Series 6 630 LCD, estimates and inserts an extra frame between frames to create a smoother viewing experience. The extra frame makes images flow seamlessly, allowing even the fastest action scenes to be presented with precision and clarity.EnergyStar® Rated Aligned with Samsung’s efforts to combine technological advancement with environmental awareness, Samsung’s Series 6 630 LCDs feature a unique “EnergySaving Mode” that ensures the HDTV is compliant with the EPA’s EnergyStar® rating system. By adjusting the HDTV’s backlight brightness with a Low, Medium or High selection, power consumption is decreased substantially compared to similar 2007 models. The Series 6 630 Full HD LCD TVs will be available in August in 40” class (39.9-inch measured diagonally), 46” class (45.9-inch measured diagonally), and 52” class (52.2-inch measured diagonally) sizes.

January 8th, 2010

LAS VEGAS – January 4, 2010 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today unveiled two MP3 players designed for the media savvy and those concerned with managing their personal well-being.The IceTouch (YP-H1), featuring the world’s first 2-inch, full color, transparent Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (AMOLED) touch-screen display, functions as a DVD-quality video player, studio quality audio player, an ultra-portable photo album, an FM radio and even a portable storage device. The MyFit (YP-W1), which features the first wellness-promoting technology, helps users monitor stress level, fat thickness, calorie intake and burn, and exercise effectiveness. Both players received a 2010 CES “Innovations Honoree” award and will be on display at the Samsung booth #11026 during the International Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 7 – 10, 2010. “In the world of MP3 players, companies need to continuously innovate and redefine the user experience, and we think we’ve done both of those things with the IceTouch and MyFit products,” said Reid Sullivan, senior vice president of Audio/Video and Digital Imaging Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “Whether a consumer is looking for a multimedia device that offers unprecedented video playback quality or a multipurpose player they can use to help them get into shape when they go to the gym, Samsung has a solution to meet the needs of the consumer.” IceTouch 16GB Transparent AMOLED Touch-Screen MP3 Player In addition to the full-color transparent AMOLED touch screen, the IceTouch features a high-performance CPU and Samsung’s own “TouchWiz Sweep” interface, which is designed to provide a comfortable grip and give users new options for interacting with their player.

The IceTouch, which comes in white, can also be individually customized through separately sold color skins in pink, blue, purple and gray.MyFit Wellness Promoting MP3 PlayerAs the world’s first portable media player to integrate wellness management tools, such as stress and body fat levels and customized workout guides, MyFit helps users achieve wellness while enjoying their favorite music tracks. MyFit transcends basic playback of music and videos and enters the realm of wellness information and monitoring. Its unique features reflect the functional and stylistic nature of music enthusiasts while incorporating important applications and information for a fully-customizable device that encourages a healthy lifestyle. Music can be collected into a jogging playlist and a simple Tapping Control Jogging mode makes it easy to change to the next song without interrupting a workout.

Product News : SAMSUNG Announces Three New Stylish, Ergonomic Camcorders

January 8th, 2010

Las Vegas, NV (January 6, 2010) – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award winning innovator in consumer electronics, today announced three new stylish, ergonomically-designed compact digital camcorders which come fully equipped with an array of useful features. The SMX-C20, SMX-C24 and HMX-M20 all feature the same built-in 25 degree Active Angle Lens that was the hallmark design feature of their predecessors — the SMX-C10 and HMX-R10. Samsung’s innovative Active Angle Lens allows consumers to hold the camera more naturally, and has earned Samsung design awards and accolades from all over the world since first appearing in the SMX-C10 and HMX-R10 last year. The SMX-C20, SMX-C24 and HMX M20 will be on display during the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, January 7-10, 2010, in the Samsung booth #11026 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. “The SMX-C20, SMX-C24, and HMX-M20 are ideal for a wide-range of consumers, said Mr. SangRyong Kim, Senior Vice President of Camcorder Team, Samsung Electronics. “These camcorders appeal to consumers’ demand for simplicity and features in a camcorder that allow them to get great results with minimal effort. Additionally, with Samsung’s Active Angle Lens as well as head-turning ToC design, consumers are able to look good and enjoy an added level of comfort while recording video.”Record in Style and Comfort The new SMX-C20, SMX-C24 and HMX-M20 add a level of style and beauty to shooting home videos. Both SMX models offer Samsung’s signature ToC design, which features a hint of color that is naturally blended into the deep black body of the camcorders to create an attractive crystalline appearance. To make shooting home videos more comfortable, all three of the new models boast Samsung’s Active Angle Lens design. Unlike traditional camcorders that force users to hold their arm up at a 90-degree angle while recording video, the Active Angle Lens design, exclusive to Samsung, allows users to hold the camcorder in a more relaxed and natural position due to the fact that the lens is angled downward by 25 degrees. This more natural recording position reduces the overall stress on the wrist and elbow and also removes the LCD screen from the user’s line of sight, enabling them to always keep an eye on their subject while recording. Record High-Quality Video & Digital Still Images Whether it’s documenting an unforgettable vacation or simply capturing the day to day antics of family and friends, Samsung’s new SMX-C20, SMX C24 and HMX-M20 give you access to the highest-quality video and still images. The SMX-C20 and SMX-C24 offer remarkable standard definition video recording at a resolution of 720×480. In addition, both camcorders offer the ability to quickly and easily capture still images at a resolution of two mega pixels. For those who want even higher-resolution or wish to enjoy the best possible results for viewing their content on their HDTV, the HMX-M20 offers full-HD, 1080/60p video recording. The HMX-M20 also utilizes Samsung’s Back Side Illumination (BSI) CMOS imaging sensor, which was created specifically to absorb more light than other conventional sensors and delivers unprecedented low-light performance. The HMX-M20 also boasts an 8x optical zoom / 12x intelli zoom and the ability to capture still images in stunning 12 mega-pixel resolution, further setting it apart from other camcorders in terms of image quality, versatility and ease of use. All three camcorders utilize H.264 compression, which allows you to record longer than camcorders using the typical MPEG2 format. The new Samsung SMX-C20 and SMX C24 also come with impressive 10x optical zooms and all three models are paired with Hyper Image Stabilization. Ideal for recording events from a great distance, the camcorders’ impressive optical zooms allow you to get in close to the action no matter how far away you may be. Access to such a powerful optical zoom can come in handy for any number of scenarios, ranging from recording your child’s soccer game from the sidelines to the sights and sounds of a trip to the city. Additionally, Samsung’s Hyper Image Stabilization gives you the ability to capture clear and stable video as it counteracts the negative effects of a shaky hand while recording, which can lead to blurry footage. Samsung also provides different memory options for recording footage with the new SMX-C20, SMX C24 and HMX-M20. With the SMX-C24, users can take advantage of 16GB of built-in flash memory. Users can also expand the camcorder’s memory capacity using the SD/SDHC memory card slot. The SMX-C20 and HMX-M20 do not feature internal memory and require the use of SD/SDHC media cards.Smart Features for Editing and Sharing The SMX-C20, SMX-C24 and HMX-M20 come equipped with Samsung’s play-edit-sharing program called intelli studio. The built-in intelli-studio software gives users the ability to connect the camcorder to any computer via USB and edit and play their video without having to install supporting software. The built-in intelli-studio software also helps simplify the way users upload and share their footage using today’s popular video sharing Web sites. For added convenience, a one-touch “upload” button, available directly on the camcorders, provides a direct connection to YouTube™, taking the hassle and confusion out of uploading footage. In addition, the SMX C20, SMX-C24, and HMX-M20 also provide options for basic on-camera editing, including the ability to merge and split video files. This can be done directly on the camcorders using their 230K-pixel, swiveling 2.7-inch wide LCD screens. Samsung also enhances the video recording experience for end-users thanks to several unique features, including time lapse recording, animated thumbnails and a versatile charging system. Time lapse recording allows users to program the camcorder to record at a pre-set interval of one image every one, three, five, 10, 15 or 30 seconds. Time lapse recording is especially useful for condensing extremely long events, such as rolling clouds on a sunny day, into a short, easy to-view video. Samsung’s animated thumbnail feature simplifies the way users search for video clips on the SMX-C20, SMX-C24, and HMX-M20. Each video clip saved on the camcorder is represented by a small thumbnail on the LCD screen. When scrolling through one’s videos, each thumbnail will provide a short playback of the video file when highlighted by the user allowing them to quickly preview each clip without having to view the entire shot. The camcorders also feature a versatile charging system. Users can either recharge the battery by connecting the camcorder to the supplied AC adapter or via USB while the camcorder is connected to a computer.Samsung Electronics America’s CES press releases, video content and product images are available at www.samsung.com/newsroom.About Samsung Electronics America, Inc.
