Samsung Plasma Series 6 (2009)
The 2009 Plasma 6 Series is Samsung's update to their high-end line of Plasma displays that offer a 1080p resolution alongside extra features such as expanded Internet connectivity. As the successor to the 2008 Series 6 Plasmas, the 2009 models upgrade the Internet capabilities to the full Samsung Internet@TV with video streaming and Yahoo widgets, and uses a different filter that Samsung claims has a better ability to reduce glare. Furthermore, for both the updated 6 Series, and the new for 2009 flagship 8 Series, Samsung has made both lines more energy efficient to match the EPA's Energy Star 3.0 standards. What the step-up flagship 8 Series adds to this line is a much thinner cabinet design that is 1.1" thick.
