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?
Brad Hubbard @ Apr 1st 2008 8:40PM
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?
Charles @ Apr 1st 2008 11:47PM
This thing is going to be a beast if it's released at a reasonable price.
