Samsung’s 2009 CES HDTV lineup leaked

As more companies begin final product preparations leading up to the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) next month, we’re learning more about what companies plan to show off during the show. Samsung, which is expected to show off OLED technology, has a slew of other products it will release during the show in a bit more than a week.

The Korean company will unveil several new TVs in the Series 3 through Series 7 HDTVs, according to a recent post on AVForums. One new 3-series TV, three 4-series TVs, two 4-series models, four 6-series TVs, and one new 7-series TV are expected to be revealed during the show.

The new TVs are expected to have a Flash-based user manual, sound and picture issue diagnosis technology, and other new features. It’s possible Yahoo Widgets will also find its way to Samsung TVs in 2009, as the new technology aims to give TV viewers an added level of connectivity with the content they watch.

Everything Samsung announces during CES 2009 should be available for retail sale in the first half of the year.

Samsung has put more effort into developing screen technology that can be used in HDTVs and mobile phones. In November, the company showed off a new flexible OLED display that will be used in upcoming Samsung mobile phones. It also recognized that OLED prices are still too high for widestream adoption, but reportedly created a technology that will help lower the cost of OLED production in the coming years.
