Detail Enhancer DNIe renders images that are perfect in
every detail, without noise or flicker. Frequency characteristics
are improved by natural peaking for natural edge transitions.
Contrast Enhancer A first-ever minute analysis yields an
exceptionally dynamic contrast range. Blacks are blacker
than ever. Whites are whiter than ever. Overall contrast and
brightness are more natural-feeling.
3D Motion Optimizer Three-dimensional analysis eliminates
blurring and noise in motion images. Even still images are
sharper and clearer.
Color Optimizer Colors are smooth, pure and natural, not
harsh and artificial. Skin tones are beautiful and realistic.
DNIe is an exciting new Samsung technology that makes the best plasma displays even better. The
detail, contrast, 3D motion and color are, very simply, the best you’ve ever seen.
Introducing Digital Natural Image enhancement (DNIe)

You may be sharing an idea with someone a
continent away in a video conference. Or you
may be presenting an idea to thousands through
a retail display. But in that moment, after all the
brainstorming, all the refining, all the execution,
nothing is more important than your monitor.
Samsung professional plasma displays are
designed to help you communicate your ideas
with the brightest, sharpest, clearest pictures
imaginable. We’ve incorporated some of our
latest, best ideas, like Digital Natural Image
enhancement technology. And since ideas aren’t
confined to a horizontal format, we made our
new plasma monitors able to be mounted
vertically. This is technology at its finest.
Technology that’s driven by good ideas.
Technology that’s all about you and your ideas.
Nothing ruins a good idea
faster than a bad presentation.

RS232C Multi Display Control More control is always good. Especially when it’s
easy. The built-in RS232C interface lets you control up to 11 units as a single system
from your PC. Just open the supplied MDC software, list the units to be controlled,
and click on the function you display. It’s that simple.
Picture By Picture Our 16:9 plasma displays allow large side-by-side images to
be displayed simultaneously.
These are a few of the things that separate Samsung professional plasma displays
from all others. The result, of course, is unprecedented images and excellent flexibility.
Video Wall If one’s good, two’s better. Or how about 16? Whatever configuration you
want is made easier than ever with a built-in processor. Create huge, dynamic displays
of 2 x 2 (4), 3 x 3 (9), 4 x 4 (16), 5 x 1 and 1 x 5.

Our exclusive Signal Pattern Process
neutralizes adjacent cell charges to eliminate
electrically charged image retention.
Vertical Image Capability Landscape idea or portrait idea? You’re not
limited with Samsung. Our plasma displays can be mounted either
horizontally or vertically (PPM42H3 excluded.)
Anti-Burn Technologies Long meeting? Want to leave your display on 24/7? No problem.
Samsung plasma displays feature multiple anti-burn technologies. Our Auto Pixel Shift
keeps the image moving imperceptibly, while our Always White technology combines with
our Signal Pattern Process to eliminate electrically charged residual images.
