Samsung stuns with 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series LED LCD HDTVs

Here we are, folks, finally at the end of Samsung's CES 2009 gauntlet. We've seen Blu-ray decks, a BD-infused soundbar, LCD-equipped refrigerators and even a few HDTVs, but Sammy's clearly hoping you pay the most attention to its new line of LED-backlit LCDs. The 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series sets all ditch traditional CCFLs in favor of the newer, brighter and more energy-efficient LED backlighting. Of note, the 8000 Series is the only one a 240Hz refresh rate; the other lines get stuck with the perfectly acceptable 120Hz Auto Motion Plus. Furthermore, the 7000 / 8000 crew will come ready for the Yahoo!-driven Internet@TV online content service, while the 6000 family will allow access to Sammy's own InfoLink RSS service. More meaningful specs (screen size, brightness, contrast ratio, price, favorite color / date spot, etc.) are sorely missing, but you can peak the linked PDF if you don't believe us.

So after reading this post and the one two posts before I'm completely confused. Is sammy's LCD lineup consisting of a 6/7 series, as well as a 6000/7000/8000 series?

ok....so they've replaced the A300, A400, A500 and A600 series with the B300, B400, B500, B600. With these models all they really done is boost contrast ratios and improved looks. the A700 and A800 series have been changed from CCFl to LED lighting and redubbed the 7000 and 8000 series. they are (so far) available in 46" and 55" models.

Just to confuse us more they added a 6000 series which also uses LED lighting @ 120hz.

Hope that helps

The PDF does say "0.6 inches" deep.

the .6 inches deep was for the wall mount adapter. Not like the bulky 2 inch wall hanging adapters from other makers... the PDF said that the panels were just over an inch think... not giving any specific numbers.
