Recently Samsung introduced a new product category with Luxia at CES 2009. The flagship 8000 series features a 240Hz refresh rate (the 6000 and 7000 series are 120Hz).
Regarding product design, Luxia features white LEDs around the edge of the panel to provide backlighting gives the sets great brightness and contrast at an overall thickness of less than an inch.
Apparently the best thing about these TVs is the internet integration called Internet@TV. By partnering with Yahoo and using their widget service, Konfabulator, Internet content from virtually any site can wind up on screen in addition to their existing RSS support. It actually looks good on screen and the interface is fast. Everything can be controlled from the remote. Pandora and Netflix content can be streamed to the TV directly too. The 8000 and 7000 series have Wi-Fi and Ethernet, while the 6000 series only has Ethernet connectivity.
Samsung Luxia expected to release in the second half of 2009.
You can watch this video to have an idea how Internet@TV works.
Update : Now you can own one of Luxia Series which is Samsung UN40B7000 40-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV
