[video] One of the newest, most
exciting applications of digital tech-
nology is digital TV. Coinciding
with the launch of digital broadcasts
in the U.S. in late 1998, Samsung
was the world’s first to mass-produce
digital TVs. Following on the heels
of the HCH551W, the world’s first
55-inch, 16:9 screen model, we
intend to continue our digital TV
leadership in 1999 by introduc-
ing the world’s first 65-inch high-
definition (HDTV) set, 65-inch
standard-definition (SDTV) set,
and 43-inch rear-projection set.
The latter product is designed to
connect to our stand-alone inte-
grated receiving device (IRD) to pro-
vide uncompromising picture and
sound quality, taking the home
theater concept to the next level.
While cultivating its digital TV
technology, Samsung commands an
8 percent share of the world ana-
log TV market because of a con-
tinued boom in sales in 1998.
Leading the way was our flagship
Vision Plus, a 30-inch TV with a pic-
ture tube 1-inch horizontally wider
than conventional 29-inch TVs,
providing the viewer with full
broadcast images conventional TVs
usually cannot. A virtually flat-
screen TV that eliminates corner
picture distortion and reduces screen
glare is also included in the Vision
Plus line.
“DVD and other optical storage
technologies are changing the way
everything from movies to books is
experienced. To me and my team,
it’s a great opportunity to give people
new ways to enjoy themselves and
learn. And low-cost digital storage is
making it a reality.”
