Samsung's New Slimfit CRT HD Displays

Samsung launched three space-saving SlimFit TVs offering greater connectivity, enhanced HDTV picture, and design options that complement any home decor. The less than $1,000 price tag (one 2007 model going as low as $499) gives consumers the flat panel look they want without the flat panel cost.

The TXT-3092 model offers two HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) digital connections so users can enjoy both digital picture and digital sound.

The finer pixel dot pitch flat CRT TV improves picture resolution and brightness, while 3:2 pull-down film frame rate correction keeps the picture smooth.
