Samsung has dropped their new Series 7 plasma screens, pushing their “functional art” idealism even further.  The new HDTV’s sport Samsung’s trademark Touch of Color bezel, in which red is directly infused into the normally boring black bezel. Most people, those who aren’t watching a bezel for entertainment, will be joyed at the 1 million to 1 contrast ratio and Ultra Filter Bright anti-glare system which keeps the image clear even in bright environments.  A night calibration system is also present for those who enjoy watching in a darker environment.

The entire Series 7 also includes the InfoLink RSS service, which serves up USA Today content.  Additionally, the TVs have a USB 2.0 port and can recognize and play MP3, JPEG, XviD, and MPEG-4 files.  The DLNA-certified devices sport four HDMI 1.3 inputs, and all utilize gorgeous 1080p screens.

Available in August, the Series 7 displays will come in a 50-inch ($2799.99), 58-inch ($4499.99), and 63-inch ($5499.99) varieties.
