Yeah, I get it that the profit margins are probably way better on the edge lit models, but unless they found a way to avoid the uniformity problems that plagued Samsung's 2009 models, very few people will care.
Also, what is with this "monolithic design" idea? I can really see that not being popular.
Also, what is with them continuing to use Bravia Engine 2? Even in one of the LED models? Weird.
However, I only see two sets with dynamic backlit LED. I'm assuming this means with local dimming... no word on the technology used behind the scene though... white LED or red/blue/green?

Most sets are 3D ready...!

It looks like only the HX900/800 series will have dimming LED's and they all will probably have white LED's. We don't know all the details yet as the their are no product pages for the rest of the high end models.
Sofar I will pass on these models as the true high end XBR could come out in the fall just like every year.
This would explain why they got rid of the XBR10.
I think Sony has more experience with edge-lit tech than Samsung and even Samsung got a firmware fix that stopped flashlighting on their edge-lit sets. They're investing heavily in this tech. Seems like this is a major business strategy along with the final frontier for lcd before oled hits big in a few years.
Then again, backlight issues have been a problem with Sony lcds, so they may stick to the same, turn the backlight down nonsense they've used as a solution on their support page.
I'm looking forward to reviews on these sets. These sets coupled with uv2a panels could be excellent.

You can't "stop" flashlighting with a firmware update - just camouflage it by dimming the LEDs down fast enough when the panel should be black (between scenes for example).
Locally dimmed backlit and edge-lit panels can camouflage flashlighting, too, naturally, but the problem still persists and there'll be situations where it is readily apparent.

the xbr 10 featured uncompressed wireless HDMI streaming. do these new displays with buitl-in wi-fi incorporate that? Or just the ability to stream content from a home network, i.e. photos and videos from your laptops in various file formats?
If these sets have CCFL or LED backlit , I would say it is ok. But they are edge lit LED sets and they should be thin .These sets are even thicker than the Samsung 2009 sets ! (Judging by the picture) And I don't think these sets would have much better PQ compared with the 2009 Samsung LED TVs.
Sharp's releasing sets that contain UV2A panels... thats on their models with 60" sets. So it would be safe to assume that series with 60" range should also incorporate UV2A.
I have a X4500 (=XBR8 in the US) and it is about 14cm thick , I'm happy with the thickness because it has RGB-LED backlit.
I just do not think the market would accept a 2010 edge-lit LED set (like the NX800) that is 6cm thick unless it has a "much better" PQ.
Don't forget these BRAVIAs are going to compete with the 2010 Samsung C series that are slim , 3D ready and should have better PQ than the B series.
