Last year Samsung introduced their Touch Of Color designs and will expand on them this year with the Samsung Luxia LED TV. This is the ‘slimmest’ tv with a built in tuner from 40”-55”. This TV will also have a consistent UI menu interface (ala Sony XMB), but looks to be more in a Apple fashion (you move right as you select items).
