CNET has finally reviewed the backlit LED LCD B8500. They term it the best LCD ever.
To summarize they say
Best overall blacks but still does beat not the Kuro(sitting straight ahead)
Best overall colour accuracy except for the Kuro and the LH90
Best overall shadow detail but does not beat the V10 and Kuro
Best motion resolution amongst LED LCDs
Great energy efficiency matching Edge Lit LEDs LCDs
On the downside
Blooming(but better than all backlit LEDs till date) and poor off angle viewing as usual
Most of us are familiar with the CNET link but here it is

Though the 55 inch version retails at around 4500$(Rs 225000) Amazon has already reduced its price to around 4050$( approx. 202500). We should see more of these backlits in the coming months and with LG actually kicking up a storm with its invariably cheaper LH90 prices should come down further. Also expect Sony to possibly speed up its plans for the X5500 from their original 2010 deadline.
