Samsung 9000 Series

The 9000 sequence finally produced an look at CES 2010, and it is gone through some large changes since we very first profiled it way back in April 2009. Like just about every high-end model announced at CES, it truly is 1080p, 240Hz, local-dimming LED, WiFi-ready (Netflix streaming! Samsung app store!), and supports 3D with active shutter glasses. It is about as thick as a No. 2 pencil (0.3 inches) and like Toshiba’s Cell Tv, can upconvert 2D programming up into the third dimension.

The correct pièce de résistance is the complete color touchscreen remote. It communicates by way of WiFi and infrared, works since the middle man to stream video from your PC towards the Tv, and—here’s the best part—lets you watch Television within the palm of the hand even while something else is playing on the display. Girlfriend watching a chicky movie whilst the ballgame is on? Watch about the remote.

This brushed-metal monster is just about the coolest thing we’ve heard of inside young new year. Check back frequently—we’ll have the street date, price, and all of the product info as quickly as its released.

It turns out that they did, but Samsung renamed them 8500 prior to they shipped. The 8500s don’t contain a wireless A/V media box, which we reported would come while using 9000 collection (this detail was only a rumor, according to a Samsung representative). Other than that, the 8500s are exactly the same as what the 9000s would have been.

Without that field, the new versions really aren’t that much several than the 8000s, so Samsung decided to brand them inside the 8 Series. The 8500s do have backlit-LEDs for localized dimming, where the 8000s use Edge LED backlighting, but it looks like they’ll wait for one point extra groundbreaking to bust out the 9 Collection tag.
