First post, so I cannot insert a link. Google for "slimfit coprocessor".

Sounds sexy. Here is the first result I got when googling.:

"Pixelworks Announces Design Win with Samsung for New 'Bluejay' Co-Processor IC for Slim CRT Televisions
Tuesday February 20, 4:05 pm ET

TUALATIN, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ:PXLW - News), an innovative provider of powerful video and pixel processing technology for advanced televisions and digital projectors, announced today that Samsung has chosen its new co-processor IC for two slim CRT television models. The PW9050L chip, codenamed 'Bluejay,' complements Pixelworks ImageProcessor ICs for advanced CRTs by introducing its proprietary Digital Horizontal Correction, or DHC(TM), technology for digitally pre-processing video signals to eliminate distortion in slim CRTs.

Samsung Electronics recently introduced two new SlimFit(TM) CRT televisions featuring the PW9050L co-processor chip that use Samsung's innovative cathode-ray tube which reduces tube depth by more than 30 percent. The first two SlimFit widescreen models, measuring 29-inches and 32-inches diagonally, feature vibrant colors and crisp video images even in the corners where the scanning beam is at maximum deflection. Samsung selected the PW9050L because it overcomes a significant technical hurdle of picture uniformity through its unique DHC technology.

Samsung was able to accurately customize the deflection requirements using Pixelworks' DHC technology and integrated test patterns to perfect the image on any slim cathode ray tube. In addition, DHC technology uses unique algorithms to enhance brightness in the corners to enable even picture levels. The PW9050L chip is capable of operating at up to 120 Hz and handling 30-bit RGB input in advanced CRT systems for full high-definition support.

"At Samsung we are continuing to drive innovations for CRTs which will continue to keep the technology competitive. Pixelworks' expertise in image shaping is what made the Bluejay chip possible and we believe these SlimFit CRT models offer the industry's best performance," said S.S. Lee, Vice President of Samsung's Projection and CRT Division.

"We are excited about introducing the PW9050L chip because it represents a completely new approach to processing images in CRTs that can make slim CRTs perform at much higher level. A tier-one design win with a company of Samsung's stature provides further evidence of the value of our co-processor capability and strategy," said Hans Olsen, President and CEO of Pixelworks, Inc. "The market for slim CRTs is projected to grow from less than 8 million units in 2006 to more than 35 million units in 2010 for a compounded annual growth rate exceeding 45 percent. With Bluejay and its unique DHC technology we see a new market potential for our products that can add incremental revenue in 2007 and beyond."

The PW9050L Co-Processor IC for slim CRT television applications is now in production. To learn more about these products, contact the Pixelworks sales office in your region. A list of contacts is available at www.pixelworks.com."

If this fixes the geometry problems as well as the article claims than these things will be a great buy. I had one of the older models and really liked it with the exception of the poor geometry and so I returned it. It's also nice that they are making projections for 2010. Apparently they are going to keep making CRTs a long time. With Sony deciding to not make any for NA anymore it's nice that someone is staying in the market.

Is this going to be in the new models that are coming out next month, or is this something that will be in future models next year and looking forward?

EDIT: Just read that it says the models have already been introduced. Can't wait to see the new 30" model now.

It doesn't say in what country these two models have been introduced.

They have the new models posted on their site. IIRC they're the TX-Txx9xWH variations.

There you already have a problem because the article says it's one 32" and one 29" TV.
I imagine that in USA these sizes are marketed according to viewable area, but you still have 2 new 30" TVs.
I think Samsung has a tendency to market new things in Korea first, so it's not clear the new tech is included in any models in the US site.
Somebody needs to ask Samsung to provide this information explicitly.

Hmmm, now I'm not sure if the co-processor will be in the new Samsung SlimFits coming out this April or not. I googled for TX-T3093WH co-processor and TX-T3093WH coprocessor and got 0 results.:(

For those feeble minded bloggers. The new chip will be available in april on two models, one widescreen and one standard 4:3 hdtv.

OK, can you tell us which ones? There is going to be two 30" models, one with the speakers on the sides and one with the speakers on the bottom. There's also going to be two 27" models and even a 20" model. I think that's how many new ones there is going to be anyway. It's hard to tell because they have some older ones listed as new as well. I feel pretty confident that two of the 30" ones are actually new but I'm not as sure about the 27" ones. It could be that only one of those 27" ones are new, I'm not sure. And I haven't heard of a 20" model before so I'm thinking that must be new, but who knows. However, if I go by what Colin_A said, that all of the new ones have a 9 in them, I guess that there is 2 30" ones and one 27" and that's it. Also, could you provide a link to where you found this information? The reason I want to know is because I've got a friend who is very much considering one of the 30" SlimFits if they have this co-processor in it and if the thing works as well as Samsung says. I've looked in the spec. sheets for the 27" model ( Interestingly the description of the TV on the page says it is widescreen but the spec. sheet says it is 4:3. ) and one of the 30" models and neither said anything about a co-processor. What did surprise me though is that they admitted in the spec. sheets that the maximim horizontal resolution is 800. You don't see that kind of honesty in CRT HDTV spec. sheets most of the time.

The CRT line up will see the introduction of 93 series with two products TX-T3093WH and TX-T2793.

You might be right that there is only one 27" but I know for sure that there is two new 30" models coming. There is the TX-T3093WH and the TX-T3092WH. The difference is primarily with the way the speakers are arranged. The 93 has them on the sides and the 92 has them on the bottom.

This is good news. I was hoping the TX-T2793H would have the Bluejay chip. Can't wait for the reviews.
