Just read some info from Samsung's keynote at CES.
World's First Blu-ray player
The new BD-P1000 Blu-ray disc (BD) player will let consumers take full advantage of high-definition displays, playing content at native 720p or 1080i video resolutions. The increased storage capacity of Blu-ray discs allows the Samsung BD player to offer an astounding 25 GB of content on a single-sided disc (50 GB per dual layer) -- nearly six times the capacity of traditional DVDs and enough space for two hours of high-definition movies or recorded content. The BD player also includes HDMI support, full backwards compatibility with every DVD format and built-in memory card reader. It is expected to ship in early Spring and retail for approximately $1,000.
World's largest LED-backlit LCD
The 82" LCD TV with LED backlight (model LN-S8297DE) enlarges the color reproduction area by more than 33 percent compared to conventional LCD TVs. This new model provides TV viewers with a clear view from virtually every viewing angle. At the same time, it is thinner and consumes less power than other conventional LCD TVs with LED backlight. Moreover, Samsung's exclusive LCD TV circuit technology eliminates the need for a cooling fan, which can pull dust into the TV and create noise. Pricing and availability are not yet determined.
Samsung's new 720p new DLP televisions at 61", 56" and 50" DLP televisions feature integrated true HD tuners, enhanced digital connectivity and a new design. The new models will be available in March at prices ranging from $2,299 to $3,099.
In addition, new 1080p DLPs at 61", 56" and 50" fit seamlessly into almost any living room with a slim profile and sleek "hidden" speaker design. Sophisticated glossy black finish, Cinema Smooth(TM) Gen 7 Exclusive Light Engine, and dual-HDMI inputs round out the package. These will be available in April at prices ranging from $2,899 to $3,599.
Finally, the first ever LED light sourced DLP rear projection HDTV, the HL-S5679W, replaces a UHP bulb with a high-powered LED light source. This offers significantly improved longevity, increased color gamut reproduction, quicker turn-on time, and greater environmental friendliness. The HL-S5679W will be available in April at $4,199.

Here are more details I found of the HL-S5679W.
1. HL-S5679W available April 1 for $4,199
2. First Ever LED Light Source DLP
3. No color wheel (no rainbows)
4. 2 1080P HDMI inputs
5. Improved bulb life
Las Vegas, NV ? Samsung, a world leader in HDTV display technology and innovation, introduces the first ever LED light sourced DLP rear projection HDTV. The HL-S5679W?s unique LED light source engine offers a host of benefits, including significantly improved longevity, increased color gamut reproduction, quicker turn-on time, and greater environmental friendliness. See Samsung?s HL-S5679W along with the full award-winning DLP line during CES 2006 at the Samsung booth, #11033 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from January 5th ? 8th.
The HL-S5679W replaces the current UHP bulb with a high-powered LED light source. The LED light sourced single chip DLP light engine does not require a color wheel and provides improved longevity. Red, green and blue laser LEDs sequentially fire to produce smooth, stable color. The ?LumiLit? light engine ensures a longer lamp life (20,000 hours without brightness degradation) and a shorter turn-on time (7 seconds). The engine is also mercury-free making it more environmentally friendly.
?The LED Light Sourced DLP RPTV once again demonstrates Samsung?s commitment to advancing the boundaries of technology innovation and design excellence,? said Dan Schinasi, Senior Marketing Manager for Projection TV for Samsung Electronics America. ?With improvements in lamp life, picture stability, turn-on time and Mercury free, the HL-S5679W launches a new era for DLP HDTVs.?
The HL-S5679W operates longer and quieter than previously designed light engine based rear projection TV sets. The LED light sourced DLP RPTV provides natural color, with an improved color gamut versus traditional CRT televisions. Featuring true high definition 1920 x 1080p resolution and Samsung?s Cinema Smooth? light engine with Texas Instruments? DLP technology, the HL-S5679W displays picture with breathtaking clarity and vividness. Two 1080p HDMI inputs that are compatible with the latest 1080p source content, provides plug and play connectivity for digital devices. And the black glossy finish and integrated ATSC and NTSC tuner ensure that the HL-S5679W will be an elegant addition to any living room, and the Cable Card feature allows the TV to be used without a cable box.
The HL-S5679W will be available in April 2006 at MSRP $4,199.
