CMR
Clear Motion Rate (CMR) is Samsung's more comprehensive and accurate measure for how well an LCD or LED TV can display fast-moving images. Previously, motion clarity was expressed simply by the refresh rate, measured in Hz. CMR, however, takes into account all three factors that contribute to motion clarity: panel refresh rate, image processor speed and backlight technology. CMR is measured by determining the thinnest line a TV can display in a moving image. The thinner the line, the higher the CMR rating, and the clearer the picture you'll enjoy on the screen.

Micro Dimming Plus
A new terms or sales gadget created by Samsung, this does apply that the TV Back light is mostly direct back light.. A good sign for the LED makers as this easily use up a thousand or two LED on a 55” screen.

After all
But for the movie, I think the new era is every TV makers will consider to have the TV connected to the internet for their hi end TV series.
Some of the older product may go away in 3-5 years, such as the hub or your cable box, your Now TV programme, your in house satellite TV.  As we know that all TV network are trying to bond you wiht 18 months contract... we have to wait for the contract to expire.
The new studio home of the new age will have only likely an Apple MacBook Air, a iPhone and a Smart TV…
The new replacement will be a Smart TV or Internet TV …by Samsung, Sony or other up coming electronic giants who will invest their own system to get a license with Samsung and Sony for franchised operation. This will not be the repeated failure of Beta Max versus the VHC C in 1985. People will try to come into a new Business-network that is best for their benefit and sales revenue growth.
When People buy TV they will plan for next 4 years. So they will consider if that is upgradable to be going Internet, no… then why not I buy a Sony Internet TV… is that a smart TV that can replace all smart phones, iphone at home after work…. Yes, then I should buy a Smart TV.
So eventually when one get home, he has to switch on his TV,,, browsing facebook, watching hottest Youtube video of the day, one of his favourite movie in the week… this is the life of the new era generation!
As for LED business, the new trend that may create for demand for LED assembly as this LED will help to create better , brighter, faster picture and so called Micro dimming capability.
If the SmartTV and Internet TV would be having a larger penetration percentage than other TV in this lines.. This will indicate the market growth for the LED for Back light market will be revived! Let’s watch out on this…
Will World two consumer electronics Giants newly promote Samung’s Smart TV and Sony’s Internet TV would trigger another hit for the consumer for their choice!? The Answer is “YES!”
