2009 Samsung HD LCD tv overview
 
In spring of 2009 the newest line of Samsung lcdhd tvs were unveiled. These models offer an
increased contrast ratio along with thinner and lighter models then the previous Samsung hd lcd tv
lineup.
If you are in the market for tvs and have been checking out different models, no doubt the
alphabet soup of tv manufacturers model numbers and letters can be overwhelming. Let me try to
simplify things a bit and give you an overview of this year's models.
Samsung LNxx series

This line replaces the 2008 Samsung LCD tv line. More
information about the 2008 models can be found here.
The 2008 models will have an "A" in the model name (ie LNxxAxxx) where the 2009 models will
have a "B" in the model name.
When evaluating the 2009 Samsung LCDHD models you will generally see them named like this:

Samsung lcdhd models in these series range in sizes from 19" to 32". They are 720p and

smaller sizes they are generally not considered home theater tvs, however they are great for a
