led tv explained image

I used to be fairly aware of what an LCD television's pros/cons were compared to a plasma but these new super flat LED televisions seem to be the best of both worlds. Can someone out there explain to me the pros/cons of the LED tvs compared to LCD/plasma? Thanks!
Answer
LED TV Technology Pros and Cons
by Robert Wiley
PROS
The viewing angle on LCD Televisions with LED back lighting has improved dramatically to plasma-like levels of 75 degrees with no contrast level degradation on some of the best ones.
The black levels on the best new LED TVs has improved to plasma like black levels while contrast levels still lag the best plasmas buy hundreds of post calibration points
Brightness on LED based LCDs is better than the traditional flourescent bulbs
LED TVs will have better consistency of color information over time than traditional LCDs
LED backlit Televisions should in theory have a better lifespan than traditional LCD TVs or plasmas.
CONS
LED TVs with local dimming use more energy than traditional LCDs. It's not much, about 100W for a particular size range.
LED Televisions with discreet backlighting can have lots of dimensional depth to the cabinet. We recently reviewed one with a 6" depth to the cabinet â making it less wall mount friendly.
LED TVs are quite a bit more expensive than traditional LCD TVs. See our article titled "LED TV â Is it worth it?" or our "LED vs LCD" coverage.

What are Full HD and HD ready with regard to LED TVs?
Saad
We are planning on buying a new LED TV; however, we are confused as to whether we should buy a full HD TV or HD ready TV. Do they really have to do something with the quality of video aired by TV channel stations?
Answer
This is a very confusing terms. Let me explain the story:
In the US - there were lawsuits over the type of antenna signals. TV Makers had a problem. If they included tuners designed with 1 type of antenna signals and the format changed, the televisions would not work with an antenna. So they started building and selling televisions WITHOUT tuners. This worked great for people with satellite or cable box's who did not care about using an antenna, and consumers who did want to use an antenna could buy an external box for .. $150.
This caused confusion so they made a law that these televisions had to be called "HD Ready".
This had nothing to do with 720 or 1080 or "full HD" - In the United States.
In Europe and India - the term could mean something different. Learn this before you purchase.
MY ADVICE:
IF the screen size is below 40 inches - you can get away with a HDTV that is native 720.
If the screen size is above 40 inches - get the 1080 version.
Hope this helps.
