Local-dimming LED

Local dimming of its full array of LED elements is the big selling point, similar to the scheme used on some of the top LCDs of 2009, like the LG LH90 and the Samsung 8500. LG tells us the 47-inch LE8500 has 216 independent, dimmable zones, whereas the 55-incher has 240 (Samsung doesn't divulge the number of its zones).
