Samsung Brings LED Backlighting Down to 40-inch Sets
Posted by John Mahoney at 2:55 AM on August 26, 2008
Among a giant drop of Asia-only Samsung sets today is one nice tidbit--a 40-inch Series 7 LCD with local-dimming LED backlighting, the smallest set yet to do so. The latest US Series 9 LED-lit LCDs we saw recently are definitely on the high end (US$4,200 for a 55-incher), but the PAVV Bordeauk 780 (similar to the 850 being shown off by the lovely ladies above) shows that Samsung is keen to push energy-saving, black-enhancing LED tech down the line. It joins all the regular 1080p, 120Hz goodness we've seen before. Good deal. No word on the pricing even in Asia yet. [Tech ON]

Will it have wireless?
I looked at the article in the link and it said it had Internet Connection but it didn't say whether it was dialup or what.

@deadhouseplantz: It's a thin model. Pretty soon we will have a new problem. The TVs will be so skinny that users will be cracking them in two on accident.

Am I missing something here, Samsung has had a 40 inch LCD with LED-backlighting for over a year now? I should know, I'm typing this comment on the LN-T4081F. So what am I missing from this story?
