dlna - multi - room viewing
The DLNA-enabled Full HD SERIES 9 lets you enjoy watching multimedia content stored on any PC connected to your home network directly on your TV. This gives you the ability to share your photos, home videos and other content in the comfort of your living room. DLNA even provides the luxury of streaming PC content simultaneously on multiple TVs from the one PC so everyone doesn't have to be in the same room.

DNLe Pro - Digital Natural Image engine Pro
Indulge your eyes with the clearest, most natural images imaginable. DNIe Pro produces an incredible depth of detail that captures your eyes and unlocks your senses. Its advanced Colour and Motion Optimisers deliver incredibly lifelike images, and Contrast and Detail Enhancers combine to provide you with deeper depth of colour, inspirational images and precise pictures.

Ultra Clear Panel - detail in even the darkest image
The clarity achieved by our Ultra Clear Panel has to be seen to be believed. By eliminating the effects of external light sources, glare and reflection are dramatically reduced and contrast is dynamically enhanced. Images are presented on-screen with exquisite precision that allows you to simply appreciate the premium picture quality with complete visual comfort.

Crystal Design - eco-aware Crystal Design
Because the Crystal Design TVs' flawless finish is created by dual injection technology, no spray paint is used, eliminating the emission of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). Efficient power consumption means that energy is saved, plus, with free take back and 90% recyclability, you can be sure that even at the end of its life, your SAMSUNG Crystal Design TV is as eco-safe as the day it was made.

1080p Full HD - photo realistic details
The richest, most realistically represented images come to life in 1920 x 1080 Full HD. Colours are more vibrant, moving images have more fluidity, and action sequences become more dynamic. The expanded range of emotional expression allows you to be more engaged with your entertainment and to receive more enjoyment from your viewing experience.

100Hz Motion Plus - seamless motion imaging
100Hz Motion Plus technology doesn’t simply repeat images to make extra frames, it intelligently estimates the action, then creates and inserts an extra frame between frames to create a much more comfortable viewing experience. Through the insertion of this bridge frame, images appear seamless and the motion judder and image blurring that can occur when watching movies and sports is eliminated. Even the fastest action scenes are presented with precision and clarity on the SAMSUNG Full HD SERIES 9.

infoLive - information at your fingertips
Our InfoLive function delivers breaking news headlines, stock market information, and up-to-the-minute weather reports to the TV screen. Information is transmitted in RSS feeds via the Ethernet connection, enabling you to stay up-to-date with the information that matters to you.

WISELINK Pro - share your digital delight
The WISELINK Pro connection enables you to share music, photos, videos, and text documents with the people that you love. The simple USB 2.0 interface allows you to play a wider range of media through your TV and share your life more completely with the people you love. 

Dynamic Contrast Ratio 2,000,000:1 - real dynamic contrast
The 2,000,000:1 Digital Dynamic Contrast Ratio provides phenomenally powerful pictures. Through localised brightening and dimming of the LED backlight, pure black and pristine white can be created, enabling vibrant, colour saturated images to be displayed on-screen. 

1080 24P Real Movie - true to the original
The SAMSUNG LCD TV gives you the power to watch movies in their original 24-frames-per-second format-so you can see them the way they were intended to be seen. The latest in digital technology allows Blu-Ray Disc Players or Game Consoles to output content in its original forms of 24fps. The SAMSUNG LCD TV supports these 24fps sources through the HDMI input, and is capable of showing scenes in the maximum resolution of 1080p.


Entertainment Mode - a TV made for Entertainment
To provide you with the best entertainment possible, picture and sound mode have been preset for sports, movie, and game. In this way, you can be sure that the picture quality you are experiencing is optimised for your specific needs. Fast motion imaging, dynamic detail enhancement, and down-firing speakers combine to deliver the most dramatic entertainment experience you have ever been a part of.
