Story link: Samsung reveals new LCD TVs for 2008 by Jan Harris


Samsung is introducing HDTV’s to suit all pockets in 2008, with the launch of its series 4, 5, 6, 7 and 9 LCD sets.

The 4 series comes in a range of sizes from 19in to 40in, and is an entry-level TV with 3 HDMI inputs.

The 5 series provides Full HD 1080p support and touch sensitive manual controls. It comes in sizes from 32in to 50in.

Series 6 is finished in Samsung’s trademark black gloss, with just a hit of red. It is the first ever flat panel TV to be manufactured without the use of either glue or screws.

The features really start to mount up in series 6, with 120Hz processing, 4 HDMI (v1.3) inputs, Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a contrast ratio of 30,000:1.

The 7 series adds to this list with internal 1GB Flash Memory, DivX and MPEG 4 playback via the USB port and RSS via the Ethernet port. It comes in 40in, 46in and 52in sizes.

The 9 series features innovative new backlighting using LED Smart Lighting Technology. This comprises a series of light emitting diodes (LEDs) rather than the typical static backlight. It also has a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio for impressive black levels.

  1. This is one of the few sources I’ve seen on the web that even mentions the existence of a 9-Series Samsung LCD TV. None of the CES 2008 coverage mentions it. A visit to Samsung’s USA website shows nothing. Is there an official press release detailing the existence of the 9-Series?

  2. judging by the prices I have seen for the 550/650 series the 9 series will be bloody expensive, but for LED Backlight and maybe even 2-4 ms response, should be expected, no?

    I wish, I wish, I wish
