Samsung's 850 PAVV plasma teases the 1-inch thick mark
The plasma industry may be teetering on the edge of certain doom (okay, so maybe that's exaggerating it... a little), but Samsung's still pushing the envelope. Over in South Korea, the company just outed its latest PDPs, the 850 PAVV lineup. Aside from being 40 percent more power efficient, 20 percent lighter and 120 percent more seductive than the prior generation, the new 50- and 58-inch sets also boast DLNA support, a USB 2.0 socket, DivX compatibility and a rather striking stand. The real kicker? The 29 millimeter depth, which equates to just over one inch thick for those who abhor the metric system. There's no word on when these beauties will hit the streets, but we're guessing Panasonic will be keenly interested in knowing.

















its already at BestBuy stores $2299 for the 50" Plasma. Go check it out.
I also saw the 50" 850 at Best Buy this weekend. They are fantastic!
Wow! That looks pretty cool! Hopefully Panasonic will follow!

Well, the TV looks better than the dresses the models are wearing. They look like something from the 80s. I don't think models are needed in a product photo, but if they are going to use models, at least dress them in something that's modern and slim like the product!
hey man, this is engadget. i think you wanna go here and post a comment:

i agree, those dresses are like colored burlap sacks.
How does the picture compare to the last gens of Pioneer?
are they getting there at least?
That's what I want to know. Can they compare to Panasonic or the GASP, good ol Pioneers yet?
Already at BB $2,299.99. Looks good too!
