I have reviewed lots of TVs over the years and by and large I find myself a plasma TV man. In my home right now I have both a LCD HDTV and a plasma HDTV and I prefer to watch on the plasma much more than the LCD. The plasma TV is brighter, has better blacks and colors as well. The catch with the plasma is that it puts out lots of heat, which is an issue during Texas summers when it is already 150 degrees outside and not much cooler indoors.

Despite the heat I’ll take a nice plasma TV over a LCD any day and Samsung has come to the plasma fans assistance with a new series of plasma sets called the 7 Series. Engadget reports that the 7 Series includes sets with 50-inch, 58-inch and 63-inch screen sizes.

In addition to big screen sizes the sets all have a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, day/night calibration options and a DNIe Pro video processor. The sets also have access to InfoLink RSS feeds and sport a WiseLink Pro USB port along with four HDMI-CEC ports and full 1080p HD resolution support. The sets will retail for $2,799.99 for the 50-inch, $4,499.99 for the 58-inch and $5,499.99 for the 63-inch. The series should be available next month.
