Samsung D490 Series 720P 3D 600Hz Plasma HDTV Review


Samsung’s D490 series of 720P 3D 600Hz Plasma HDTVs has the highest HD (720P) specification of Samsung 2011 plasma HDTV models without Smart TV capability. There are only two models in the Samsung D490 series; the 51 inch PN51D490 and 43 inch PN43D490. Thanks to a pixel response time in the order of a thousand times faster than LCD HDTV displays and it’s 600Hz subfield motion technology, the D490 displays even fast moving on-screen 3D action blur free with high clarity. Contrast is impressive and colors are rich. Samsung’s Plasma Plus One Design squeezes and extra inch of display into the overall screen size, compared to competitors, thanks to the extremely thin surrounding bezel.


Samsung D490 Series Plasma 3D 720P HDTV

The Samsung D490 series plasma is identical to the recently reviewed Samsung D550 series apart from the lower resolution 720P high definition rather than 1080P Full HD. Read the review for a full coverage of other features of the D490 plasma. In some viewing situations it isn’t possible to distinguish between 1080P and 720P so it is more economical to purchase a 720P HDTV.
