Samsung’s Series 6 630 LCDs also feature an “Energy Saving Mode” that ensures the HDTV is compliant with the EPA‟s EnergyStar rating system. By adjusting the HDTV‟s backlight brightness with a Low, Medium or High selection, power consumption is decreased substantially compared to similar 2007 models.

The Series 6 630 Full HD LCD TVs will be available in August in 40-in. (LN40A630 - $1,699), 46-in. (LN46A630 - $2.099), and 52-in. (LN52A630 - $2,699) screen sizes. 

The next new LCD series is the Series 8-850 and 860. The Series 8-850 and 8-860 LCD HDTVs feature the next generation implementation of Samsung’s ToC design, which is offered in a new slim and narrow frame with a depth of only 1.9 inches at its widest with integrated digital tuning. In addition to rose (850), Samsung now offers its ToC design in deep blue (860). The Series 8 delivers full HD 1080p picture with up to a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and features Samsung’s latest Auto Motion Plus 120Hz and Ultra Clear Panel technologies for continual rich details and lifelike color.

The Series 8 also features minimal edging around the screen that seemingly blends screen with frame. Key features include Samsung’s Ultra Clear Panel, which is designed to improve contrast ratios and produce deep black levels. Able to perform in any lighting condition, the Ultra Clear Panel ensures that the TV flawlessly displays bold, bright colors and deep, dark black tones. For vibrant and pure onscreen portrayal of nature-perfected colors, Samsung’s Wide Color Enhancer 2 technology maximizes the expanded color range used in HDTV broadcasting. By strengthening the reds, greens, and blues, depth and intensity are added to images that could appear weak without over-saturation. Like in the Series 6 models, Samsung is employing its Auto Motion Plus 120Hz technology.

The Series 8 LCD HDTVs also include the one-button, on-demand InfoLink RSS service. The Series 8 LCD HDTVs recognizes not only MP3 and JPEG files but also XviD and MPEG4 videos. In addition, it comes with a Digital Content Management. Additionally, the Series 8 LCDs are compatible with DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) for easy connection to and content sharing with other DLNA-certified products, such as a computer. The Series 8 is also EnergyStar rated, and includes 4 HDMI 1.3 connectors.

The Series 8-850 LCD HDTVs will be available in September in the 46-in. (LN46A850 - $2,699) and 52-in. (LN52A850 - $3,399) screen sizes. The Series 8-860 LCD HDTVs, which include an additional USB 2.0 connection and a variation on the bezel design, will be available in 46-in. (LN46A860 - $2,799) and 52-in. (LN52A860 - $3,499) screen sizes in September.

Samsung’s new Series 9-950 is the new 2008 flagship model of its complete line of LCD HDTVs. The Series 9 utilizes Samsung’s 2nd generation LED SmartLighting with proprietary local diming technology. Local diming allows for additional detail in dark scenes by turning off specific LEDs. By using LED backlighting rather than a traditional cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL), the Series 9 950 LCD HDTV is also mercury-free. This model further adds 120Hz technologies, which was not previously available, and results in a 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio for full HD 1080p picture. 

The Series 9 includes all of the features found on the Series 8 LCD HDTVs such as Ultra Clear Panel technology plus Auto Motion Plus 120Hz. Other key features include InfoLink RSS Service, WiseLink Pro, and DLNA technology. In addition to including twin down-firing speakers (15-watts per channel for the 55-in. model), the Series 9-950 also includes an integrated rear woofer. This model is also EnergyStar rated.
