They also have located the back connectors vertically (like Sharp does) making it more "slim" when you attach it to a wall, because you don't have to let space for the wires. Ah! and the 4 HDMI are all on the right side (maybe I mistake an USB port with a HDMI, but who knows, I'm talking about the Euro model, maybe the USA versions are different (besides Hz variations)

How can they keep the brightness (typical of LCD) up by going this direction?

And what about last year's marketing push for "selective dimming?" What they are now doing seems to be a 100% repudiation of that... so might we see 2010 models going back to LEDs behind the screens?]]>Mar 27th 2009 2:35PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/26/samsung-begins-production-on-edge-lit-led-backlit-hdtv-panels/http://hd.engadget.com/2009/03/26/samsung-begins-production-on-edge-lit-led-backlit-hdtv-panels/
