Samsung LCD TVs: What’s New in Samsung’s 2008 LCD TV Lineup?

Samsung is one of the most popular and respected LCD TV manufacturers in the world. It’s no wonder they’re one of the best-selling TVs on the market. They have achieved this level of success by producing high-performance televisions at a reasonable price.

So what do we have to expect in the new models? Samsung has taken an already good LCD TV on its LNT models and made some improvements for this model year.

Samsung LCD TVs range from Series 3 corresponding to the previous xx42 models, Series 4 corresponding to models xx53, Series 5 corresponding to models xx61 and Series 6 corresponding to models xx71. They will also add 7 Series models.

The Series 3 and 4 models are 720p models and are available in models up to 40 inches. These TVs are designed with many of the same components as the higher-end models, so you still get a good TV, although it’s more of an entry-level model. LCD displays allow easy connectivity via side ports with hotkeys on the remote for easy access.

The Series 5 models open the door to 1080p for a full HD experience. They start with the 37-inch models and go all the way up to 52 inches, making them a great starting point for setting up your home theater system.

The 6 Series models add some significant performance improvements and are 120HZ models. Additionally, these Samsung LCD televisions include Ethernet connections for RSS downloads of weather information, stock prices, news and sports scores. Also new to this model is the Touch of Color, which adds an amber tint to the bezel for a more elegant design.

Samsung’s newer LCD TVs have improved performance by increasing the contrast ratio and improving the response rate of last year’s model. They have also made some improvements to Auto Motion Plus technology for their 120Hz televisions. Of course, all televisions are HDMI compliant and have multiple inputs for the many technologies that have come to use HDMI.

It will be interesting to see what developments emerge in the coming years. This is a great time for consumers entering the flat panel HD universe or for those looking to upgrade their existing setup as LCD displays continue to deliver a bigger and better picture along with lower prices. From the point of view of things, Samsung will continue to be the leader in the LCD TV market for years to come.
