Samsung Series 6/7/8/9 HDTV delivers a complete multimedia experience on one screen

The Samsung 6/7/8/9 series high definition digital TV (HDTV) is the next step to the future of TV technology. As well as delivering an excellent visual and audio experience, the Series 6/7/8/9 is also filled with innovative features to connect consumers to online multimedia content.

One of the most innovative features incorporated into the 6/7/8/9 series HDTV is the ability for the user to display up-to-date information on the TV screen, direct from the internet, without having to boot up a PC.

The 6/7/8/9 series HDTV incorporates an ARM11-based chip manufactured by Samsung’s Digital Media division. Samsung have used the ARM processor to connect to the internet and to display streaming web-feeds using an on-screen graphic. News, weather and stock market updates can all be displayed while you are watching TV.

“The ARM processor is used to create a window onto the internet to collect and display up-to-date information on screen. Samsung believes that by starting with “bite-sized” interactive choices, rather than overpowering consumers with too much information, they will conquer aversion to using the TV for surfing and viewing.”
