Although it's not necessarily what we might call a traditional manufacturer of plasma displays (after all, Panasonic's products are much better-known in this segment), Samsung has quite a serious lineup of such solutions in its lineup, including here some newly-released 3D-capable models.

So, the Korean company has decided to expand its plasma lineup with three new 3D-enabled models pertaining to the 680 (two models) and the 490 series.

The Samsung Plasma 680 Series features Full HD 1080p resolution and 600Hz Subfield Motion technology, as well as a Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio that creates deep blacks and brilliant colors.

Available in 50- or 58-inch screen sizes, the Plasma 680 Series also allows users to share media files stored on PCs or other DLNA-compliant devices on the big-screen via AllShare, while sporting an attractive Touch of Color design.

The 3D-capable Plasma 490 Series is smartly wrapped in an attractive piano key black cabinet with a dark blue Touch of Color design, and delivers a very good picture quality with its Clear Image Panel technology and 600Hz Subfield Motion technologies at a fairly reasonable price point.

And since we've reached this topic, it's interesting to mention that all of these three models will arrive in stores over the course of August 2010, selling for $1,099.99 (the PN50C490), $1,599.99 (the PN50C680) and $2,299.99 (the PN58C680).
