Samsung's UN46B8000 240 Hz LED HDTV is the best LCD TV ever...so far

Samsung's 2009 B8000 LCD HDTV line is definitely a premium line in terms of features. The HD Guru has already managed to snap up one of the 46-inch LED-backlit sets for review and he dubs it the "top" of all LCD HDTVs he's ever tested. Only the Pioneer Pro-141FD plasma has ever compared. His quick synopsis:

The full motion resolution and overall excellent performance places the UN46B8000 at the top of all the LCD HDTVs tested. We will see if the 8000 can keep its crown when we review the current Samsung and Sony LED rear backlit models currently in queue. Despite our quibbles regarding its "new technology" advertising, this Samsung is the first HDTV to deliver the dream of a thin, light weight, bright, clear 46″ HDTV that you can easily hang on the wall like a painting.

I should mention that "quibbles" the Guru has with the advertising has to do with the "LED HDTV" nomenclature. There is no such thing as an LED HDTV--meaning the display isn't made up of individual LEDs. An LED HDTV simply uses LEDs for backlighting rather than the more commonly used CCFL lamps. Just so you know.

Definitely check out the whole review. It's incredibly detailed and gives you a good look at what you should know about purchasing a new HDTV.
