Samsung 9000 Series LCD Rumored to Have Wireless Media Box, LEDs

samsung hdtv Samsung 9000 Series LCD Rumored to Have Wireless Media Box, LEDsA few details on the still unannounced 9000 Series LCDs from Samsung have leaked, and according to FlatPanelsHD, they’ll come with a wireless media port box, in addition to having LED backlighting.

The 9000 series will come in 46 and 55-inch sizes, and will come equipped with MPEG4 compliant DVB-T and DVB-C tuners. The external media box is similar to the Sony ZX1, where it takes all your video inputs and wirelessly transmits them to your TV, reducing the size of the panel itself. As for the LED backlighting, local dimming is superior to edge lighting because you get better contrast, and therefore deeper blacks, from the picture. (LED backlit Samsung LCDs have had this for awhile.)

Other features the 9000 series is rumored to have DLNA compatibility, USB port and on-screen widgets via the Medi@2.0 platform. FlatPanelsHD expects the 9000 series to be available in summer/fall 2009. [FlatPanelsHD] (Samsung B8000 Series LCD pictured above)
