Samsung C9000 LED TV Gets Innovative, Wi-Fi Remote

The Samsung C9000 LED television, debuted at CES,  could impress most any TV afficionado on its own: a brilliant, pencil-thin display housed in brushed aluminum. Making the television all the more tempting is a Wi-Fi-based LCD remote that allows you to view content from other video sources. So while your wife is busying watching All About Steve on Blu-ray, you can pretend to be enjoying it with her while watching the playoffs on your remote–we’re hoping a headphone jack is included. The remote includes a touchscreen interface with haptic feedback and connects to the television via your home Wi-Fi network.

The television itself uses 240 Hz technology and is capable of upconverting 2D to 3D. It keeps its dimensions micro-slim by housing much of the electronics in the base–a base that doubles as a wall mount.

No pricing or availability info was released for the C9000, which is expected in 46- and 55-inch varieties, but hopefully we’ll see it hit market sooner rather than later. [via Gizmodo]
