Beware the trem "LED", misleading and confusing.

Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

There's a difference between locally dimming LED backlit TVs like the 950 Samsung and Sony XBR-8 and edge mounted LED backlit TVs like the new Samsung "000" models. The edge mount LED TVs don't do blacks as well as locally dimming LED TVs and according to many enthusiasts have worse problems with uniformity (flashlighting and backlight bleedthrough) than the Samsungs that use conventional backlighting.

It appears that Samsung is happy for you to think that edge mounted LEDs have equal performence to locally dimming LED backlit TVs.
