Here we are, folks, finally at the end of <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/Samsung/">Samsung</a>'s CES 2009 gauntlet. We've seen Blu-ray decks, a <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/07/samsung-delivers-ht-bd7200-ht-bd1250-blu-ray-htib-systems-ht/">BD-infused soundbar</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/samsungs-ces-household-appliance-lineup-everything-but-the-kit/">LCD-equipped refrigerators</a> and even a few <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/01/07/samsungs-series-6-8-plasma-hdtvs-are-well-connected/">HDTVs</a>, but Sammy's clearly hoping you pay the most attention to its new line of LED-backlit LCDs. The 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series sets all ditch traditional CCFLs in favor of the newer, brighter and more energy-efficient LED backlighting. Of note, the 8000 Series is the only one a 240Hz refresh rate; the other lines get stuck with the perfectly acceptable 120Hz Auto Motion Plus. Furthermore, the 7000 / 8000 crew will come ready for the Yahoo!-driven <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/InternetTV/">Internet@TV</a> online content service, while the 6000 family will allow access to Sammy's own InfoLink RSS service. More meaningful specs (screen size, brightness, contrast ratio, price, favorite color / date spot, etc.) are sorely missing, but you can peak the linked PDF if you don't believe us.<br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/">Samsung stuns with 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series LED LCD HDTVs</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/1259302/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/mini-samsung-series-6-6000-led-hdtvs--right-profile_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/1259301/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/mini-samsung-series-6-6000-led-hdtvs--right3_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/1259300/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/mini-samsung-series-6-6000-led-hdtvs--right2_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/1259299/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/mini-samsung-series-6-6000-led-hdtvs--right_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.engadget.com/photos/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs-1/1259298/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2009/01/mini-samsung-series-8-8000-led-hdtvs--right_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><p>Filed under: <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/ces/" rel="tag">CES</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/displays/" rel="tag">Displays</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/hdtv/" rel="tag">HDTV</a>, <a href="http://www.engadget.com/category/homeentertainment/" rel="tag">Home Entertainment</a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/07/samsung-stuns-with-6000-7000-and-8000-series-led-lcd-hdtvs/">Samsung stuns with 6000, 7000 and 8000 Series LED LCD HDTVs</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadget.com">Engadget</a> on Wed, 07 Jan 2009 17:00:00 EST.
