Gorgeous high-definition images, thin cabinet
Experience all the detail and impact of high-definition with the Samsung PN58B860. It delivers remarkably realistic images with true-to-life colors. Plus, it boasts a slim cabinet that measures just an inch and a half deep, making it Samsung's thinnest 58" plasma HDTV. Despite its slim cabinet, Samsung managed to squeeze in a woofer for better sound than you'll hear from most other flat-panel TVs. And the gray Touch of Color accent at the edges of the gloss black frame gives this model a stylish look.
Crisp and colorful images any time of day
An anti-glare filter boosts picture contrast while reducing screen reflections, for crystal-clear images day or night. Samsung's Wide Color Enhancer 3 ensures vibrant colors and natural skin tones. You'll also enjoy consistently smooth, blur-free video motion, thanks to advanced circuitry that fires each pixel in a fraction of a millisecond.
Connect to the Internet to expand your entertainment options
If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can take advantage of the built-in Yahoo! Widgets web menu to access online services like Yahoo! News and Flickr. These widgets appear at the bottom of the screen so your TV viewing can continue uninterrupted. You can also stream movies and music from a computer running DLNA software. Or, watch your favorite video clips by plugging a thumb drive into one of the USB ports on the side of the TV. If you connect the optional wireless USB adapter, you can enjoy this set's networking capabilities without running Ethernet cable.
A wealth of viewing options
For compatibility with the latest HD sources, this TV's four HDMI inputs accept 1080p video — even 1080p/24, the purest format for film-based video. High-definition Blu-ray players can output 1080p/24, for an exceptionally filmlike image. The PN58B860 also has two HD-capable component video inputs, plus a composite video input for older gear. You also get user-friendly features like picture-in-picture.
