That’s good because watching TV will kill Earth slower (it’s not especially “green”), allowing us to look at the “LEDs produce darker blacks that appear endlessly deep to the eye” a bit longer. Endlessly deep! Reduced motion blur and image judder, Auto Motion Plus™ frame interpolation technology. Words. They are great to look at.

Samsung also wants to “redefine what it means to watch television” with Internet@TV – Content Service they developed with Yahoo. The Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection will be featured in the 7000 and 8000 series. It seems like they’ve put a simple widget-based OS in the TV so you can access YouTube, Flickr and more. Oh, I almost forgot that these devices will feature a refresh rate of 240Hz and that’s four two times the rate of other TVs.[PSGallery=1ke7mbuggb]
