Internet@TV + Samsung Apps = the Samsung internet experience
For a couple of years now, the folks at Samsung have been leading the way with internet-capable HDTV design. And, well, with the C650 series, it's possible that they might just have outdone themselves . . . again. Alone, the LN55C650's rear-panel ethernet port might seem pretty innocent. But, combine it with Samsung's diverse grouping of online content providers, and it opens up a dazzling interactive experience. Samsung Internet@TV functionality delivers access to a wide range of online features via internet widgets and Samsung Apps, or on-screen interactive programs: Check the weather at AccuWeather.com. Keep up on breaking news at The Associated Press. Manage your Netflix queue. Tweet on Twitter. Stream custom radio from Pandora. And we're just getting started. Fire up the LN55C650's whopping 55" of LCD and browse content from other providers, like YouTube, Flickr, Blockbuster, USA TODAY, Vudu, the Travel Channel, Rovi, and yes, more.

And now . . . the Full HD, 120Hz panel itself
Equally as impressive as online interactivity is the LN55C650's panel itself. Naturally, this Samsung HDTV delivers a Full HD 1920 x 1080p resolution, compatible with the highest resolution video sources available. But the real crown jewel is this LCD's 120Hz Clear Motion technology. Movies and television are filmed at different speeds: movies at 24 frames-per-second, and TV at 30fps. Most televisions, however, are built to reproduce video content a 60fps. Because 60 is twice 30, TVs can easily reproduce 30fps television programming by simply flashing each frame on-screen twice instead of once. Unfortunately, the 24fps at which movies are recorded don't divide evenly into the 60fps at which most TVs play back video. In order to show movies, standard TVs must perform special processing that can result in unnatural shakiness when the 24fps content is played back at 60fps. Accordingly, Samsung has equipped the LN55C650 with 120Hz playback technology. Clear Motion 120Hz is able to reproduce content at 120fps, a multiple of 24, 30, and 60. As a result, movies and television can be played back smoothly and naturally without unwanted artifacts. You experience exceptionally clear and lifelike motion, even when watching high-speed sports or action-movie sequences. Check Out The Outlet - the Clearance Center At Vanns.com!

AllShare and ConnectShare . . . beyond your standard connections
Yes, it certainly is a big deal that the LN55C650 LCD HDTV offers four HDMI inputs. That's the most advanced, single-cable video and audio connection available . . . times four. In other words, you're equipped to connect up to four HD-capable devices to this C650 series panel. And yes, the rear-panel ethernet port does deliver unprecedented online interactivity. But when it comes to connections, the LN55C650 raises the bar even further. First, AllShare technology allows you to sync the LN55C650 up with your home network either via ethernet or wirelessly (with the separate WIS09 wireless USB dongle). Once connected, you're free to stream audio and video from your PC/home network directly to the LN55C650 using the remote control. You effectively convert your HDTV into a multimedia hub. Second, with ConnectShare Movie technology, you can connect a thumbdrive or digital camera to one of the LN55C650's two USB ports, and then use a simple on-screen interface to access video, music, or photos stored on the connected device. Finally, no matter your source of audio or video — Blu-ray player, satellite, or PC — BD Wise technology automatically adjusts all components for the best picture and sound quality.

Not just efficient . . . 30% more efficient
Even with all of the innovative functionalities added to the C650 series, Samsung has maintained the energy-efficient performance for which their LCD HDTVs are known. In fact, they've made them even more efficient. Not only does the LN55C650 satisfy the U.S. government's ENERGY STAR 4.0 qualifications — the latest for display devices — but it surpasses those requirements by an impressive 30%. The secret is the LN55C650's built-in Light Sensor. Measuring levels of ambient light in your viewing area, Light Sensor technology automatically adjusts the panel's brightness for optimal viewing. Because the Light Sensor ensures that brightness levels never exceed what is necessary for ideal viewing, energy use is minimized, especially when viewing in low-light areas.

And for the gamers
The folks at Samsung give a nod to gamers with the C650 series. The LN55C650's Game Mode enhances dark areas, sharpens the picture, accelerates image processing, and enhances audio output. In other words, the LN55C650's performance can be optimized for the special needs of gaming content at the touch of a button.

The advanced connectivity of HDMI
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's LN55C650 features four HDMI inputs. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)

Your HD lifeline
High Definition Multimedia Interface, or HDMI, is the only home A/V connection that allows for both Full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel studio-quality audio to be passed along a single cable. In other words, in order to take full advantage of your home theater's high definition potential, you need to HDMI cabling to link HD-capable components. It's only natural that you might have questions regarding how best to outfit your personal HD system. Vann's sales representatives are here to explain all of your options.
