PN51E490B4FXZA specifications

The Samsung PN51E490B4FXZA is a 51-inch plasma television that showcases a blend of innovative technology and user-friendly features. Designed for optimal viewing experiences, this model is particularly known for its vibrant picture quality and deep blacks, characteristic of plasma screens. The PN51E490B4FXZA utilizes Samsung's Plasma technology, which allows for a wider viewing angle and better color accuracy compared to traditional LCD displays.

One of the standout features of this television is its 720p HD resolution. While it may not support full 1080p HD, the 1366 x 768 resolution still delivers sharp images and is more than adequate for casual viewing and gaming.

This results in more accurate and vivid images, allowing viewers to appreciate the subtleties and details in their favorite films and shows.

For audio, the television features two 10-watt speakers, providing decent sound quality. However, audiophiles may want to consider pairing it with an external sound system for an enhanced audio experience. The integrated Dolby Digital Plus further enhances the sound output, ensuring dialogues are clear and effects are well-balanced.

Connectivity options are another strong point of the PN51E490B4FXZA. It includes two HDMI ports, which allow users to connect multiple devices like gaming consoles, Blu-ray players, or streaming devices easily. Additionally, there are also component and composite inputs, catering to various media sources.
