2010 Samsung TVs

[Naplm00]

How long until TV manufacturers stop bending over to Copyright associations, and offer an integrated media player? Not just for pictures. But for movies too. Indeed, all TV sets now have two USB connections on top of the usual 3 or even 4 HDMI inputs. HDMI connections are already to an XBox or Playstations, which are very often used to read Dvix movies. So why not integrate the media player directly?

It is an option that costs $5 and will sell $80 extra.

TV could play music, movies, and be the integrated media center.

Samsung TV have had media players via USB direct conneciton since last year. They play everyhtign except for .mkv format...including downloaded divix.

They also can play movies and music over a newtwork via hardwire or a 802.11n adapter, they have a integrated filebrowser and can see windows share trees.

A few models last year were also DLNA enabeld.

90% of this years TVs has the USB play and network play including DLNA

If it has a glossy outer frame I don't care... WTF is with EVERY TV having a black glossy frame now?

Same. I like matte finish on TV's. My 50" Samsung DLP has a piano black matte finish, and it looks awesome.

I agree on the black my 62" Samsung plasma has a similar finish. My buddy that does high end audio installs a number of LEDs. We were talking about how crazy thin the new 9000 series is, I bet they are stupid light as well.

BUT IS IT 3D?!?!

I personally like gloss and aluminum finishes. They fit well in modern houses.

I wish my TV was that thin and sexy. I have a 3 or 4 year old 32" Vizio. I love it to death though, it was cheap and it works awesome. Perfect size for my room

I just picked up a brand new sony 50 inch. Thing's got 640p it's insane, the picture quality when watching lethal weapon on VHS is phenomenal.

How about making more DLPs for us poorer people. Love our HL67A750 and I want another one.

Im bored with thin TVs. Its more of a wow factor than anything else. You still need room for the guts and unless you are mounting it its going to need a decent width for the base.

I like LED technology but I would stick with localized dimming before I gave a crap about one TV being 1/4" thinner than another (See LG, that has localized dimming LEDs in the thin market). Its not like you are carrying it around.

[Naplm00]

local dimming is in most of our line for this year, last year we has 1 model

this year i think 5, includint the 9000 above

I also hate glossy frames. Too many reflections. And a bad mold will show right away with wavy reflections. Yurk. I have this year's 42" Samsung with 1080p resolution. The image is not as good as my other Sony Bravia which is 2 years older and with same resolution.

I wonder how brushed stainless look "in the flesh".

I completely agree. I've had issues with gloss finishes showing the smudge marks of random finger prints. Being the "duster" in the family it irritates me to no end.

"Off topic" but, what would the OP suggest for a TV in say, 40"?

I just picked up the LN46B640R3F brand new on the cheap and love it so far.

Precisely.

"Check out my super thin TV, It's on .15" thick" and then it sits on an entertainment center that is 18" deep and takes up the same floor space.

And because of that we no longer have super cheap DLP's being made except for Mitsu.

The Super Bowl looked awesome on my buddies 82" Mitsu.
