Well, would you take a look at that. Right
on cue, Dolby and SIM2 are collaboratively showcasing a 46-inch 1080p display built around the former firm's
high dynamic range technology. The HDR-enabled LCD HDTV boasts 1,836 LED-based backlight units (designed / developed by
SIM2), a full 1,920 x 1,080 resolution, brightness level greater than 4,000 cd/m2, an "infinite" contrast ratio, 16-bits of luminance and a Xilinx Virtex field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) chipset. Additionally, the prototype employs a design created by Giorgio Revoldini, and while we can't imagine hearing of a release date anytime soon, the two firms aren't wasting any time putting the new set on a world tour to presumably wow onlookers. Hey
SED, you taking notes here?

This sounds a lot like the "LED Smart Backlighting" system that Samsung has in their 7-series LCDs. Gives you a 500,000:1 contrast ratio. I guess that's not quite "infinite" but whatcha gonna do?

Sorry, went back and checked. It is available in the 8-series, not the 7-series.

It's also the technology developed by a company called Brightside, bought-out by Dolby. I wonder why there's no mention of them?

This thing is going to be a beast if it's released at a reasonable price.
