There’s nothing to crow about these days when it comes to producing the most anorexic LCD TV set, and the idea of having skinny TVs that are wall-mountable has almost been treated as a given.

That could explain Samsung’s decision to unleash its first full line of LED Full HD TVs, a product the South Korean electronics giant is heralding as the “Next Generation TV”, and hoping to spark a new trend of its own.

The difference between LED TVs and their LCD predecessors lies in the ability to control brightness levels to produce richer and deeper colors, like blacker blacks and whiter whites. On an environmental note, these LED TVs are lead- and mercury-free, and offer energy savings by up to 40 percent.
