"Hey guys, let's call this TV the 71, and this one the 81."

"OK, yeah! How big are they?"

"Oh, 40-57 inches of course!"]]>Jul 11th 2007 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/Jul 11th 2007 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/Jul 11th 2007 11:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/Jul 11th 2007 11:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/Jul 12th 2007 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/
Samsung's LCDs are always higher contrast ratio than anyone else, how are they accomplishing this? Is it just marketing BS, or are they really that much better? I can't even imagine accomplishing 25,000:1 contrast on a modern LCD, much less 100,000:1, LED or not. Where the hell are they getting these numbers?

I mean, the very best contrast desktop monitors are still 1500:1 or 2000:1, and I think those are all S-PVA. I can't see a new generation of PVA giving that much improvement. Maybe this dynamic contrast ratio I've been seeing is to contrast what gray to gray is to pixel response?]]>Jul 12th 2007 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2007/07/11/samsung-announces-71-81-series-1080p-lcd-hdtvs/
LED backlight (BLU) also removes the need for color filters. Instead of having a CCFL and *decomposing* light into 3 colors and then reproduce the required color, this LED BLU technology strobes color in rapid succession. Removing the filters increases color output (Gamut and intensity) by a lot. Strobing also improves motion blurring a lot too (Because of the way the eye acquires images - rather complex stuff). Most 120HZ TVs use BFI (Black Frame Insertion) at 120Hz but rapidly strobing is supposed to be better. All this leaves out as far as 120Hz is solving 3:2 cadence issues.
