Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD – HDTV and PC Monitor In One
Nowadays, most HDTVs can be used as a PC monitor while more and more people watch movies and TV shows on their PC monitor. The problem, though, is that web pages aren’t always displayed clearly and correctly on an HDTV while computers are not always equipped to handle high-def content so it is better to purchase an HDTV and a PC monitor and use them separately – that is, until Samsung launched the SyncMaster FX2490HD, which is both an HDTV and PC monitor in one.
The Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD is a 24-inch widescreen monitor with an attractive grey edged in a slim transparent border, making it similar in appearance to Samsung’s LED TVs, along with a shiny silver stand.
Aside from its LED backlight which ensures the utmost energy efficiency, other features include 1080p resolution for watching HD content in full quality, a built-in TV tuner, 5ms response time, 1,000:1 contrast ratio and 250 nits of brightness. There are also two five-watt speakers and support for 7.1 digital surround sound and DTS audio, along with two HDMI inputs, a USB port and SCART for connectivity.
The Samsung SyncMaster FX2490HD will be available in both the United States and Europe beginning in Mid-August, retailing for $540 – not bad considering you can buy just one piece of equipment instead of two.
Samsung Introduces New 63-inch 3D Freeview HDTV
Samsung has come up with another addition to its growing family of 3D HDTVs, this time a 63-inch Plasma 3D HDTV with a built-in Freeview HD tuner – the Samsung PN63C7000 – which is perfect for those who want to enjoy cinema-quality images on a large screen.
The PN63C7000 is equipped with a 3D Hyper Real Image engine, which allows you to watch all your 3D content as they were meant to be seen. It can also convert 2D content to 3D for a more explosive viewing experience.
Even as a 2D HDTV, the PN63C7000 is quite impressive, with full 1080p resolution, a combination of 100Hz technology with 600Hz subfield-motion to create clear, flicker-free images and a full platform of Internet applications, including access to BBC, YouTube and Twitter. It can also render 2D content into stunning HD.
Skype Now Live On Panasonic And Samsung HDTVs
True to their promise, select Panasonic and Samsung HDTVs are now Skype-enabled, allowing users to make voice and video calls using their HDTV.
As of this month, viewers can now enjoy Skype on Panasonic VT25, VT20, G25 and G20 plasma models as part of the Viera Cast interactive suite. The VT25 and VT20 Viera models offer full 3D capability and WiFi access while the G25 and G20 series offer 1080p resolution and a THX certified display.
On Samsung, Skype is being offered on the C7000 and C8000 series – both LED TVs, though the C8000 offers local dimming and the C7000 is edge-lit. The C8000 series is also 3D-ready and comes with Samsung’s new innovative touchscreen remote control.
In order to avail of the service, though, users will have to buy a special webcam. The one for Panasonic is available from its official site and US retail stores for a price of $170 while the one for Samsung, made by Freetalk, can be bought at the Skype Shop for $150.
Panasonic was the first to partner up with Skype, making the announcement back in January during the CES, while Samsung promised its HDTVs would be embedded with the same feature in February.
LG also announced the Skype feature last January and is said to offer it in 26 LCD and plasma models later this year.
Samsung 3D HDTVs Now Available For Pre-Order
The Samsung UN46C8000 and UN55C8000 are now available for pre-order at Amazon.com.
Both sets, which come in 46-inch and 55-inch screens, have a sleek design – a silver bezel edged in a transparent border and a new metal four-legged stand. They also offer 1080p resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate, Samsung Internet@TV interactive services, integrated Skype calling as promised, network streaming, four HDMI inputs and two USB ports.
The most important thing about the Samsung C8000 models, though, is that they are 3D-Ready, which means it incorporates Active Shutter 3D technology and even upconverts 2D content into amazing 3D.
The UN46C8000 currently costs $2,799 while the UN55C8000 costs $3,499.
Both HDTVs are currently featured in Amazon’s special limited offer. If you buy either model together with the Samsung BD-C6900 1080p 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, you will get a free 3D Starter Kit, which is normally priced at $349.99.
The kit includes two pairs of Samsung’s 3D Active Shutter Glasses as well as a 3D Blu-ray disc of the Dreamworks animated film, Monsters vs. Aliens.
The Samsung BD-C6900 Blu-ray Disc Player is the perfect companion to your 3D HDTV, offering full 3D support as well as BD-Live support, Internet@TV capability, DLNA connectivity and both an HDMI and USB input.
Consumers can pre-order their 8000 LED models now or wait for the 9000 LED series, which can display true 3D content, as opposed to being 3D-Ready and comes with Samsung’s new cool remote control, although the release date for this is not yet certain.

The 7000 and 8000 Plasma models are equally stylish, with the 8000 sets sporting a titanium bezel, which, like the 750 LCD models, offer more online applications than before.
All models come with a free 3D Starter Kit, which consists of two pairs of Samsung’s active-shutter 3D glasses and a 3D version of the film ‘Monsters vs. Aliens”.
