The 82-inch prototype is still as slim as other LED-TVs from Samsung because of an Edge LED backlight where LEDs are located along the edges of the TV. The power consumption is therefore also very low compared to other large TVs such as the new 85-inch Panasonic plasma-TV.

The 82-inch LED-TV is still a prototype and exhibited by Samsung to show the potential of the LED backlighting technology. Samsung has no plans to launch the TV market at the moment.
