Default Samsung Announces New LED HDTVs


The newest LED HDTVs to hit the market from Samsung include the picture quality and thin depth of their older LED models, as well as the networking capabilities of other HDTVs. The 8500 series comes in 46-inches (SRP: $3599.99) and 55-inches (SRP: $4,499.99), and will be on sale this September.

These TVs feature a contrast ratio of 7,000,000:1, achievable due to the white LED backlighting. They include Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer Pro, Ultra Clear Panel, and Autio Motion Plus technologies to improve picture quality. They also feature Media@2.0 This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it from Samsung, which allows connectivity to internet video services such as Youtube, wired and wireless connectivity, and a variety of widgets to improve interactivity.

Yup! Saw this on demo when I bought my BDP4600 Bluray player (replacing the outdated BDP1400 which cant seem to play that "Rise Of The Lycans" BD.

Very beautiful looking ..... very2 slim. In comparison, what I had bought a year ago looked "fat". Was tempted to purchase, in the end held back as too much work moving things too and fro. But will when things are settled down.

Have not seen the Sony ones though.

The Sony Bravia XBR KDL-55XBR8 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Triluminos LED LCD HDTV employs clusters of red, green, and blue (RGB) LEDs for increased color performance, while most LED LCD TVs use only white.
