Samsung rolls ‘reinvented’ 3-D monitor line
The monitors include the Series 9 (TA950) and Series 7 (TA750) displays. Since launching the world’s first 120-Hz 3-D monitor in 2009, Samsung said it has ”reinvented” the 3-D monitor experience to provide more picture quality and access to a wider array of content options.
The TA950 and TA750 displays incorporate Samsung’s 3D HyperReal Engine–which is said to optimize color, motion and contrast for ”hyper-realistic” 3D viewing. Combined with a full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and a refresh rate (120-Hz in the 3D mode), the TA950 and TA750 displays are ideal for 3-D PC or console gaming or for watching 3-D video content like movies and sports.
Both the TA950 and TA750 feature a built-in sync emitter that work seamlessly with the pair of 3-D active-shutter glasses that come bundled with each monitor. The new displays also feature two built-in 7-watt speakers.
Both models include Samsung’s ConnectShare feature which allows users to connect devices via USB to ”enjoy” instant playback of video, music and photo files without connecting to a PC. Multiple input ports—including two HDMI inputs—allow users to connect up to seven electronic devices to the monitor, while a built-in HDTV tuner can further expand content choices to include live television.
The TA950 and TA750 models offer Samsung’s new Smart Hub, which includes:
•Search All, which makes it easier to search for and access desired content, not only on a PC, but across the Internet and on any connected storage, PC or mobile device within the home network.
•Your Video, which delivers video recommendations based on a user’s viewing history.
•Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based application store, which offers a range of paid and free apps that help people connect to their various passions – whether in sports, entertainment, information, games or social networking.
The TA950and TA750 monitors are available in 23- and 27-in. sizes. The TA950 and TA750 displays will be available as soon as May 2011, starting at $599.99.
