Samsung Announces Spring LED LCD Availability
Fri Mar 18, 2011 at 10:00 AM ETTags: Samsung, LED LCDs (all tags)
Nearly the entire line comes out this month, with only the UN55D6400 pushed back to May.
Samsung is an undisputed leader in LED backlit LCD sets and the new spring lineup is bound to keep that legacy secure. A total of 20 new models are now available, with a wide range of price and features.
One thing that's common throughout every one of Samsung's new TVs is Energy Star 5.1 compliance, which means your electric bill won't suffer with the addition of a new set. 70 percent of the sets offer Smart TV capabilities including access to streaming video, social networking and Samsung's new One-Foot network connection.
Samsung is introducing even more 3D televisions this year, including the D6400, D7000 and D8000 - all of which boast the proprietary 3D peak algorithm that adjusts brightness to compensate for 3D glasses while keeping power consumption low.
One caveat to the new 3D sets is that Samsung's 2011 3D glasses are only compatible with Samsung TVs from 2011.

Toshiba Announces New Ultra-Thin LED TVs
Fri Sep 17, 2010 at 12:00 PM ETTags: Toshiba, LED LCDs, HDTVs (all tags)
Ranging from 19 inches on up to 55, Toshiba's new sets are made to bring high quality at a low price.
"The definition of value is having high quality at the right price," says Toshiba VP Scott Ramirez. "The new Toshiba SL400 and UL605 Series certainly both deliver."
The SL400 is the less exciting of the two lines, consisting of televisions from 19 inches to 32 inches with a sparse feature set. The SL400 offers a pair of HDMI-CEC ports as its main feature, along with a reasonable price point. The sets range from $349 to $699.
The UL605 is a bit more interesting. It comes ready to grab content from Toshiba's Net TV, which includes services like Vudu, Pandora and Facebook. It's also packed with a WiFi antenna that can be attached to the set's USB port. It's an LED edge lit display and features ClearFrame 120Hz tech.
The UL605 is available at 40 inches for $1,399, 46 inches for $1,699 and 55 inches for $2,499.
