Samsung today announced its 7-series of plasma TVs, which will be become the new flagship plasma product line for the manufacturer when the devices go on sale in August.
Samsung said the TVs are the first TV cases designed with dual-injection molding technology which infuses color to the bezel rather than using spray paint. Samsung described the design as a "hint of red color blended into a piano black bezel."
Specifications include 1080p resolution, a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 1300 cd/m2 brightness,
day/night calibration modes, InfoLink RSS support, four HDMI 1.3 connects and one USB 2.0 port and playback compatibility with MP3, JPEG, XviD and MPEG4 files.
Prices start at $2800 for the 50" model. The 58" version is priced at $4500 and the 63" TV at $5500.

This artical seems odd to me, considering the 7 series has been advertised on TV for a couple months now, and the fact that I have seen the 7series for sale at local BestBuys. According to this artical they arnt released till Augest but have been compainged and sold for the past couple months?
Mmm,1 million contrast ratio and 1300 CD/M2 brightness? Jesus,are these people staring in the sun all day?
1 mill contrast @ 50 inches for 2800 bucks? I'm in!!!
Now I can play warcraft 1 in style
Thinner bezel.
Meh... contrast ratio doesn't mean much considering that there is no industry standard for it. 1,000,000:1 may not look much better than 5000:1 between two different brands.
