Does the Samsung 7 Series LCD HDTV have a split screen feature?

I recently purchased a Samsung 7 series television and was wondering whether it was possible to view two programs at once with a split screen feature. Is this possible and if so how?

Unfortunately no. Due to the switch from analog to digital programming, most all manufactures have quit adding PIP feature to televisions, as this was primarily used when consumers used the analog tuners built in to the TV's. This is unfortunate because more and more people are integrating their computer with their Home Theater and want TV/PC at the same time!

Right now I believe the only HD LCD manufacturer with PIP is VIZIO and they have nothing to compare to the 120hz samsungs!...Have faith though, you bought the best there is!

With all due respect, the previous answer could not be further from the truth. Many of today's LCD HDTVs support PIP (including Samsung & Sony). What has changed from the days of analog TVs is that today's PIP implementations do not generally include the ability to run two internal tuners. This is true for the Samsung A750. One PIP source can be the internal tuner, the other PIP source must be an external video source. If that second source is/has an external tuner, then yes, you could watch two programs using the A750's PIP feature.
