Samsung Rolls Out New LED-Powered LCD HDTVs
As we were waiting in the airport headed back from CES, we did a quick straw-poll asking what the most exciting thing people saw at CES was. We got lots of different answers, but "the new Samsung LED-backlit HDTVs" was on just about every list. It's not hard to figure out why. The sets really are gorgeous. The flagship 8000 series features a 240Hz refresh rate (the 6000 and 7000 series are 120Hz). All of the sets feature an Ethernet port, and and ATSC tuner.
Using white LEDs around the edge of the panel to provide backlighting gives the sets great brightness and contrast at an overall thickness of less than an inch.
Overall, Samsung LCD lineup for 2009 is a step up from last year. They've added a charcoal gray to the "Touch of Color" styling they introduced in red last year. The gray is subtle and elegant. The Series 7 line gets a 240Hz refresh rate.
While were at the show, Samsung's product trainer Dave Albers took us on a tour of of all of their new LCD HDTVs.

I love this TV and have no regrets buying it. I was watching a 15 inch TV in my den and it just was too small. This 22 inch is just perfect for a den or other small room.
None that I can think of.

Swing open the door, and behold a tableau that perfectly captures the tween aesthetic. The polka-dot chandelier. The zebra-print wallpaper. The lime green shag rug that pulls the look together — without being too matchy-matchy, as a pre-tween might have it. http://www.mtsconverter.fr
But you can’t go in because the door doesn’t lead to a room. It leads to a locker. Specifically, Nola Storey’s locker at Rye Middle School in a New York suburb. http://www.mtsconverter.fr/mts-converter-for-mac.htm
