Samsung spruces up their Bordeaux line of LCD TVs with the release of a new model. The new 40 inch model looks like a re-release of the model LN40R71BD and continues its 5000:1 contrast ratio and the 6ms pixel response time.
What’s new (according to the company press release) seems to be an attempt to appeal to women by means of the high-gloss cabinet and migration of the control buttons to the bezel. While it’s difficult to be certain from the wording of the announcement, the V-shaped design may be intended to be evocative of the shape of a wine glass.
The press release also makes note of the unit as being capable of displaying 5400000000000 colors, which, if accurate, is, or might be close to, being a record for a commercial TV.

Do all 5400000000000 colors have a name? Are they even distinguishable to the human eye?
