856 has a higher contrast ratio and Wiselink and yhats about it I think

you will need to see side by side

a good debate with Samsung against the Sony W4500 here and mentions ' lag ' for gaming if you would notice it

In case you didn't know some of the new Samsung LCD panels (8 Series) have LED backlighting, improves contrast and picture quality.

Looks the way all panels are going to go.

Best to check the features, the product numbers they give their sets can get quite confusing.

None of the 8 Series are LED backlit.

The 786 and the 956 are the two models that are LED backlit. The 956 has extra multimedia features over the 786.

Yeah, you're right, 9 Series.

Like I said, the serial numbers are confusing.
