Samsung gets official with LED-backlit 9 Series LCD HDTVs

Can't say we're surprised to see 'em, but Sammy has done its due diligence by pumping out the official verbiage for the 9 Series LCD HDTVs that were leaked late last week. These second-generation LED-backlit sets feature 1080p Ultra Clear panels, Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology, 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratios, the familiar Touch of Color design and a smattering of networking technologies like InfoLink (RSS access) and WiseLink Pro. Additionally, both the 46-inch LN46A950 (pictured) and 55-inch LN55A950 feature 4-millisecond response times, down-firing speakers with a built-in subbie, an integrated NTSC / ATSC / ClearQAM tuner, four HDMI-CEC ports, a PC input, Ethernet socket and a pair of component jacks. Look for each to land next month for $3,199.99 and $4,199.99, respectively.

This has all the tech I was looking for in my"next" set. BUT I need no more than a 40 and that means being relegated to the 650/750.

Might a 40" 950 happen at some future point?

Soon Samsung will release their le40a780 which wil be a 40 in. led backlit lcd, you could wait for that.

I would say yes. Yet the Sony XBR 8 to go into battle with the 9 Series also doesn't offer a 40" version. Last years 81 series does offer a 40" so it is more than likely in the future for a 40" to be offered. Yet I can see them thinking most people who purchase a high end set plan on placing it in the living room and most people look to the 46" size (that was my experience back when I sold TVs)

sweet i like the the 52850 look with blue better then the red, but at the price of the 55in 950 i might as well go bigger.
