It’s a world of contrasts, and Samsung apparently knows it. They recently announced their new 71 and 81 series TVs feature not only elegant gloss-black slim bezels and 1080p resolution, HDMI 1.3 inputs, and more, but hit big new numbers in the dynamic contrast zone…are you sitting down for this…100,000:1! Room light will be the issue for sure from now on.
If you like big numbers attached to your 1080p TVs, then here’s another: how about 80,000 hours on the LED-based backlighting? That’s more than 27 years of 8 hour a day TV viewing. Now THAT’s a lot of TV!
The new LED backlight system uses a process Samsung calls “local dimming”, coupled with Samsung’s Auto Motion PulsLED will be offered in sets from 40” to 58”. If you don’t like HDMI (and who really does?) how about connecting your Blu-ray player without wires? The new Samsung TV’s have built-in 802.11n wireless routers that are meant to talk to nearby Blu-ray players, satellite boxes, etc. Oh, and by “near by” we mean within 200 feet. Sure, it will cost a bit more, but how cool is that?
We’ll be keeping more than one eye on Samsung! The new products should ship by the holidays.
