There are two kinds of Samsung TVs using LED backlighting. The 950 series uses LEDs behind the screen that are locally dimmed; the LEDs are in zones that can be turned totally off thus giving a super deep and dense black.The other type uses edge mounted LEDs and so of course there's no local dimming and no super deep blacks. Indeed, many Samsung fans think the edge mount LED TVs are inferior to those Samsungs using conventional backlights. Many think the B-650s and B-750s, which use conventional backlights, are the best Samsungs other than the 950s.
I have an A-850 and a B-650 and I prefer them to any Panasonic plasma I've seen and I looked at quite a few. The good Samsungs have very accurate color, more accurate than many Panasonics are tested and rated as having, and the Panasonic plamas have a fine noise texture I dislike.
