And yes, Impressive that it's so thin. But how does that impact anything for people watching the front of the TV instead of the side?
Meh... It's still an LCD, it still has to use frame doubling/quadrupling to even have a chance, and since the Sammy's do it so annoyingly for me, I have to shut it off, and then it's just meh, look at those BLACKS!
Its a LED TV. Black is black (might be a tiny tiny bit gray from light pollution from neighbor leds).
Though, if the input signal is gray. It will be gray.
The Samsung 9000 series is an 'Edge-lit' LED backlit TV. There is pretty much no difference in quality compared to a regular old CCFL based TV. In fact, most edge-lit LED TVs are actually worse due to the flashlighting problems so many of them have.
Direct backlit LED TVs like mine, indeed do have true blacks, but they are some thick monsters.
