SAMSUNG USHERS IN NEW ERA FOR FLAT-PANEL TELEVISION
WITH NEW CATEGORY LINE-UP OF LED LCD HDTVS
LED Technology Brings Higher Contrast Ratios, Slimmer Designs and
Improved Energy Efficiency to the Living Room
LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2009 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and
award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, raises the bar for flat-panel TVs
everywhere with the launch of an entirely new line-up of advanced LED HDTVs.
Samsung’s latest HDTVs will be on display at Booth #11033 during the International
Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center,
January 8 -11, 2009.
The new 8000, 7000 and 6000 Series build upon the success of Samsung’s first and
second generation LED HDTV models. These cutting-edge TVs use LEDs as their
primary light source, rather than traditional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps (CCFL).
Benefits of using LEDs include ultra-high contrast ratios, slim depths that allow for more
artful designs, plus increased energy savings. In addition, a variety of state-of-the-art
networking features give the ability to adapt to how consumers view and experience
with shows, movies, games and other multimedia at home.
“Samsung has proven LED technology is a viable choice for consumers desiring the
best picture possible from an LCD television. Samsung’s latest LED televisions redefine
the standards for viewing quality, energy-efficiency and home entertainment décor,”
said Jonas Tanenbaum, Vice President of LCD HDTV Marketing at Samsung
Electronics America. “Samsung stays committed to developing technology and products
that go beyond current expectations of value, quality and innovation. And, we are
excited to be a part of this exciting point in TV evolution.”
Top-Notch Picture Quality
Each of the three Samsung LED HDTV Series for 2009 boast high dynamic contrast
ratios, complements of Samsung’s ground breaking LED light source. Compared to a
traditional CCFL, LEDs produce darker blacks that appear endlessly deep to the eye.
Whites also remain crisp and bright with vivid colors. The result is picture quality that
measures up to the natural beauty of life. For instance, Samsung’s Wide Color
Enhancer Pro feature lets consumers enjoy a broader color palette. The Ultra Clear
Panel further allows the preservation of every detail even in brightly-lit, imperfect
viewing conditions. This is done by effectively allowing more light to pass through the
screen and simultaneously reducing reflections from ambient light. And with an adaptive
“Natural” mode, Samsung’s LED HDTVs can combine the recognized brightness
advantage of LCD displays with the cinema-like viewing experience of plasma displays
by automatically optimizing picture settings.
Samsung’s entire LED HDTV line-up incorporates a number of innovative features to
reduce the motion blur and image judder, which traditionally plague LCD HDTVs when
displaying fast movement. All three series boast Samsung’s acclaimed Auto Motion
Plus™ frame interpolation technology. The 8000 Series uses a swift refresh rate of
240Hz – four times the rate of other TVs – that nearly eliminates the ill effects of
displaying quick, action-packed motion. The 7000 and 6000 Series, with an also-quick
120Hz refresh rate helps ensure crisp, easy viewing of sports, video games and movies.
Expansive Networking and Entertainment Possibilities
In 2009, Samsung plans to redefine what it means to watch television with
“Internet@TV - Content Service” Developed with Yahoo!, the Internet information
interface will be available on a number of 2009-model Samsung HDTVs. Using either a
wired or wireless Ethernet connection included in the 8000 and 7000 Series,
“Internet@TV - Content Service” lets consumers access content onscreen from Yahoo!,
Flickr, YouTube and more with the push of a button. The widgets-based interface and
scrollbar run along the bottom of the screen for easy browsing of the latest programs
and content. Even after purchase, consumers will be able to enjoy a growing library of
widgets, as the widget development kit will be open to content providers willing to create
new offerings. The 6000 Series includes access to Samsung’s InfoLink™ RSS service,
which can instantly display updated news, sports, weather and stocks information with a
touch of the remote.
Beyond online entertainment, Samsung’s LED HDTVs can also connect to a variety of
other devices and content with ease. Included USB ports make viewing videos and
photos from a camcorder, playing music from a media player or accessing multimedia
files from a portable drive simple.
Lighting the Way for Functional Design
Samsung’s new LED HDTVs offer not only a lifelike viewing experience and a portal to
the latest entertainment, but break free from the conventional limits of integrating a
television into a room’s décor. By using LEDs, Samsung has been able to shave all
three series down to ultra-thin depths. At just over an inch thick, the sets remain trim
without cutting back on connectivity options, nor foregoing an ATSC tuner.
To further complement the svelte design of the new LED HDTVs, Samsung created an
ultra-slim wall-mount solution – reducing the gap between the TV and the wall to around
0.6 inches, down from the two inches of bulkier solutions. The ultra-thin LED HDTV
depth coupled with the new wall-mount solution allows for a simple installation akin to
hanging a picture frame.
In 2008, Samsung created its unique Touch of Color™ (ToC™) design, which uses
dual-injection molding to coat a translucent, colored surface to achieve an attractive
crystalline appearance. The latest evolution of Samsung’s ToC™ design begins with a
deep piano black bezel that fades into distinct chrome that finishes as a clear prism
along the outer edges (8000 Series) or light ruby (7000 and 6000 Series) highlights. The
intensity of the color subtly changes depending upon the viewing angle, and further
accentuates these TV’s slim bezels.
Going Greener
Lit by LEDs the Samsung 8000, 7000 and 6000 Series all meet the more stringent
Energy Star® v3.0 guidelines by cutting power consumption to significantly new lows.
LEDs are also mercury-free, which adds another degree of environmental friendliness
and safety compared with other currently available backlight technologies. Energy
consumption is reduced by 40%+ versus traditional LCD HDTVs of similar size. The
LED HDTVs also include an optimized energy savings mode that adjusts the backlight
and picture quality while continuing to produce smoother, more natural images.

En fakta till om nya 6000/7000/8000 serierna (nya USA modeller med LED som är 25mm tjock). De använder sig av "Edge LED" teknik, och har därför inte local dimming. De kan (kanske) dimma hela bilden med en "black fade", men de kan inte dimma delar av bilden som 796 och 9-serien kan.
Läs mer på: http://www.avforums....009-lineup.htmlNu läste jag allt jag kunde hitta på webben just nu angående nya Samsung modellerna för 2009, och enligt vad jag har läst så finns bara B4, B5, och B6 än så länge för oss fär i EU. Det finns inga B7, B8, eller B9 modeller än så länge, och 6000/7000/8000 är bara för USA. Så det kommer nog dröja tills hösten innan vi få se nya modeller inom 7, 8, och 9-serien.
