Samsung intros new 1080p LCD HDTVs, Ethernet / interactivity included

If you've got a thing for cutting-edge LCD HDTVs, you've come to the right place. Starting with the big boy, we've got the 65-inch LN52A750 (also available in 40-, 46- and 52-inches), which sports a 1080p resolution with 120Hz Auto Motion Plus technology. Additionally, you'll find an Ethernet connection for accessing customizable RSS feeds, 1GB of internal flash memory that "includes interactive content such as cooking recipes, children's entertainment, HD artwork and more," a four-millisecond response time, four HDMI 1.3 sockets with CEC and a USB 2.0 port for connecting PMPs and the like. Also on the way is a slightly downgraded 6 series sans flash memory and side mounted USB port, due in March in the same sizes.



LN40650T:

The less impressive LN40A450 (available in 19-, 22-, 26-, 32-, 37- and 40-inch sizes) caps out at 1080i, touts up to three HDMI ports and will be available in pearl white (select models only) or piano black. Unfortunately, Sammy's not doling out any more information than that at the moment, but both lineups are scheduled to land this March at prices unbeknownst to us. The 5-series of LCDs come in 32-, 37-, 40-. 46- and 52-inch sizes, adding touch sensitive buttons, two more HDMI ports and a side mounted USB jack. All are due in March.

With or without the glossy screen? Not that it matters... just bought a Sony 52" XBR4 that I've enjoying immensely! :)

I'd like to know that as well. I'm buying the 52XBR4 next week and the reason i chose that over the Samsung is because the sammy has a very shinny screen. They need to change that in there line up.

That "shinny" screen is what makes the Samsung's colors more vibrant than the Sony's

I know in their 46" models they have the 69-series that doesn't have the reflective screen, but I think all their 52"+ have it

I love Sony lcd's, but the 46xbr next to the Samsung t4671 is a no brainer win for Sammy, imho

I agree, the Sammy looks better and is cheaper then the sonys. But the room i watch TV in has a lot of ambient light and the screen would be too shiny for me, other wise i would get the Sammy.
