I'm still catching my breath covering today's Samsung massive HDTV onslaught when I caught wind of its upcoming flagship LED TV. According to Web site Flatpanelshd, the Korean company's B9000-series is the successor model to our Editors' Choice LA46A950 with the elusive local dimming function. This enables clustered backlighting that yields deeper black-levels compared with the edge-lit B6000-, B7000- and B8000-series just announced in Singapore.
To maintain the same ultraslim side profile, the LED-backlit B9000 will have a two-box design, featuring a separate panel and wireless A/V media box. You can also expect all the icings found in its lower-end counterparts, ranging from DLNA networking and Yahoo widgets under its Medi@2.0 suite to built-in digital TV tuners. We're still chasing Samsung for more details, so watch this space for updates.
