Samsung PN58B860 Plasma TV

Plasma TV Buying Guide Comments

2009 brings us Samsung's B860 plasmas. These two TVs are the top of line for Samsung in '09 and feature an ultra-thin, one inch deep bezel and built in internet connectivity. No a million to one contrast ratio this time, Samsung is just claiming the PN58B860 will have "mega dynamic contrast" and it remains to be seen just how "mega" it really is. We were impressed with the A650 series last year (see our review of the PN58A650 here) and are looking forward to getting our hands on the new B860 series.

Some other feature of the PN58B860 are 1080p resolution, 24p film playback, built in ethernet (it's also wifi capable but you'll need to purchase additional hardware) and Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer Pro technology. It also features a new anti-glare screen than Samsung is calling Ultra FilterBright Plus. For the energy conscious the TV will meet the EnergyStar 3.0 specification.
