Plasma, LCD, LED, 120hz?

Q. I have $600 to get the best 42 inch tv I can find, but I'm not sure what's most important in a TV. I know that 120hz refers to frames per second, as opposed to the normal 60hz on most LCDs, but what I dont know is are plasmas still better than LCDs, what about 120hz lcds, or led lcds? Whats the most important feature in a television? Resolution? LED? 120hz(refresh rate)? Basically, i'm just looking for advice on getting the best bang for my buck, currently browsing newegg for deals.
Michael - I thought they fixed that a long time ago with pixel scrambling and other similar features?


Answer
I just bought a Vizio 42" LED from WalMart.com. It was a little more than your budget, but the picture on the LEDs seemed a lot brighter and clearer.

How much bigger is a 40 inch LED TV?




rbkgolfsho


Currently I have a 32 inch LED TV. I plan to buy a 40 inch TV. How much bigger is a 40 inch TV?
Please don't answer with measurements. What do you think about 40 inch TV from your perspective?



Answer
A 32" TV is about 2825 sq in and a 39" TV is about 4195 sq in, thus is around 50 % larger. Thus a 40" TV would be a little larger.

I have a 37" Vizio TV in my living room, I love it but I wish I got a slightly larger model, a 40 or 42 would be perfect. I can still lift my 37" TV solo, I would think a 40" would need 2 people to lift and handle.

I think a 32" TV is fine for maybe a bedroom, but too small for much else.

HELP! HD TVs: is 1080p ONLY for Blu-Ray? Do different cable providers have different quality resolutions?




you


I want to buy my first HD TV. But I donât want to spend all that money, and âoverbuyâ, only to find out that cable providersâ HD signal is 720p. (This TV will be mostly for TV watching, and not watching DVDs). One salesman said that ALL cable providersâ HD signal is at 720p; (Comcast, WoW, AT&T U-Verse, even Direct TV/Satellite).

Weâre not going to buy a Blu-Ray player for a long time. So, does that sound right? If not, please inform me.

(i tried to check each cable providers' web pages to find out their signal, and couldn't find the info.)
Pioneer, i'm interested in your comments. i want to make an informed, intelligent buy. i'm especially interested when you say...

"..., because if you strictly limit yourself to 720p you are cutting out about 80% or TV from the list just based on that."

what do you mean when you say, "80& of TV"? i understand the quantitative value, obviously, but what does that number represent?

(also, btw, i'm finding that, for a 50" plasma, to go from 720p to 1080p, the price increase is anywhere from 33% to 45%; to me, that is significant.)

i don't want to spend 33% more for a resolution that I don't plan on using in the near future (3 years). so what you said is a key point for me.
Pioneer,
Can you please respond and clarify your comments? It would be most appreciated.
....



Pioneer,
Ok, thanks for the response and taking your time to answer. Sorry, shouldâve realized thatâs what you meant (80%). Also, sorry that I didnât mention the size. Iâm looking between 40â and 50â. Iâm 90% sure that I want a plasma.

Interesting point about game systems. However, does it matter what type of system it is? (i.e. an older, âlegacyâ system. I have a PS2, and my kids are still in diapers, so I donât plan on buying a new system for at least 5 years. I thought that only PS3 and Xbox utilize the higher resolutions. Is this a myth?)

Again, thanks a ton.
....


my price ceiling is $800, as the base cost. i guess i could go a little higher, for the right added amenity(ies).



Answer
Most TV's in bigger sizes of 32+ generally come as 1080p HD. The price difference is usually minimal between 720p and 1080p. Do not be afraid to buy 1080p, because if you strictly limit yourself to 720p you are cutting out about 80% or TV from the list just based on that.

DO NOT make the 720p be your deciding factor when buying TV. That is like buying a car based on its color or wheel size. It does not make sense.


TAKE TWO:

Here is what I mean by 80% of TV's. Lets say there are only 100 HDTV's available for purchase (for argument sake) If you want to buy only 720p TV's you will be left with only about 20 TV (down by 80 (%) from 100)

And yes you are correct that the bigger TV's have a price difference of 20-30%. Since I did not know what TV size you want to buy I assumed that you want to buy what average sales of TV's are (32"-42"), plus you have mentioned 720p (mostly more widely available on smaller sizes) so I assumed you are looking at smaller TV's.

If you tell me what price range you are considering, maybe even a TV size I can see what I can find. Also if anyone is going to play a PC or console games on the TV you will get better experience from 1080p especially on bigger screen size.


TAKE THREE:

I am not a console gamer myself, but I believe that any modern and current game systems can take advantage of full 1080p. Definitely xBox and PS3, I am not 100% sure about the others. The older games like Atari or N64 will have no where enough processing speed or bandwidth to produce 1080p quality image not even 720p. They will probably do a full screen on your new HDTV, but it will not be HD.

I see you are mostly set for Plasma. I have a website where I have many articles and guides related to HDTV only. One article compares top three flat screen technologies. Feel free to browse. You will find a contact me page there if you have any question. The website is still under construction, but it is mostly all there:

http://www.flatpaneltvinfo.com/index.php

I have done a quick search for you on amazon.com (you do not have to buy there but they have a wide selection) with all your requirements (40â+, $800-, Plasma (I included LCD and LED-LCD as well))

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26ref_%3Dsr%5Fnr%5Fp%5F72%5F0%26bbn%3D979929011%26qid%3D1276547529%26rnid%3D1248877011%26rh%3Dn%253A172282%252Cn%253A%2521493964%252Cn%253A1266092011%252Cn%253A172659%252Cn%253A979929011%252Cp%5Fn%5Ffeature%5Fthree%5Fbrowse-bin%253A724227011%257C724228011%257C2232445011%252Cp%5Fn%5Fsize%5Fbrowse-bin%253A1232882011%257C1232883011%252Cp%5Fn%5Ffeature%5Ffour%5Fbrowse-bin%253A1232886011%252Cp%5Fn%5Fcondition-type%253A2224371011%252Cp%5F36%253A-80099%252Cp%5F72%253A1248879011&tag=flapantvinf-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

You can compare many TVâs (84) and see which one will suit you the best. I am not sure if you are comfortable buying online, just keep in mind that whatever price you find there it will most likely be more in store, plus tax on top of that.

What is the best TV for me?




HiTMANOXO


Id mostly use it for xbox 360 n ps3 n some tv im lookin for 50-52" what would be the best for under 1500


Answer
Get a Plasma. You'll get vivid colors, true blacks, deep contrast. You'll get a near instantaneous response time (0.001ms). You'll get the best TV option you can in a TV of that size and with that budget.

People will tell you that you shouldn't because of burn-in. But get a Panasonic or Samsung and you're fine. They offer anti-image retention features above and beyond the advances in the technology. Plasma stopped with the burn-in issue years ago. But it can't shake the reputation.

If you are really drawn to LCDs, then at least make sure you get some premium features for a 50" set. You will notice the advantages of having them (or see the flaws without them). So focus on 1080p and 120Hz/240Hz. If possible aim for LED LCD, though that might be above your budget.

Right now at Best Buy,

Panasonic TC-P50G10 - $1,400 on sale reg $1,600
- perhaps the best 50" TV you can own.

Panasonic TC-P50S1 - $1,200 on sale, reg $1,400.
- very strong set, but gives up some contrast to the G10

Samsung PN50B650S1F - $1,300 on sale, reg $1,600
- a solid choice from Samsung

LCDs

Sharp Aquos LC52D85U - $1,300 reg $1,700
Sony KDL-52S5100 - $1,500 reg $1,800

Again, I still recommend the Plasma, especially with your budget. I think for an LCD you would need to go down a size so you could say get a better model Sony or Samsung. Or you would need to increase you budget a couple hundred bucks at least. But I don't think you'll find any LCD that can beat the G10 from Panasonic. I highly recommend checking that one out in a store.

Is an LED tv worth $500 dollars more then an identical LCD?




RAP SUCKS


We are either gonna get the Samsung 46" LCD 1080p 240Hz for around $1,600.
OR:
Samsung 46" LED 1080p 240Hz for around $2,100?
Is it worth it?
Which will last longer, LCD or LED?

Thanks



Answer
1 ) LED ( LCD display use LED as back-light ) is improvement and RE-FINE of LCD display.
LED TV is better in color reproduction , better dark color display.that LCD display will never reach such quality. LED TV also easy to " cover / hide " away the motion blur.
total pictures quality is always much better than any LCD TV. LED TV use 40 % less power consumptions than LCD TV.
2 ) LCD display " Life Time " is 60,000 hours. basically LED TV is LCD based , Technically is should be same life time as 60,000 hours , however LED TV on the market is less than a year.still early to said any things about the total life time as this moment ,unlikely LCD TV is proofed for that. some very first generation LCD TV is still work well after 13 years. LED TV ( LED display panel ) should be reliable to too ! but no evidence yet.
3 ) if you are looking into Pictures Quality , LED TV - Samsung 46 Inc 1080P / 240 HZ is WORTH for that ,non of LCD TV able to reach such pictures quality . Samsung is leading in LED TV technologies , Samsung LED TV taken 92 % market share ( total LED TV quantity sold worldwide ).
OPTION.
for 46 inc and above big screen. Panasonic new Plasma TV is VALUE for money.
great pictures quality . 0 Response time / 600 HZ , well-suited for sports movies / programs. with out burn in issue . life time is 60,000 hours. ( Z series is up to 1000,000 hours ). technically is better than LED TV in total pictures quality .but paid less in $ !

Any LED TV about 22 inches?




i17nardy


I was going to purchase a vizio LCD TV 22 inch full HD about 500 dollars... but then I heard about this LED technology, is there any about 22 inches, dont care about the company and price. just need one that I can use for my PC, and Xbox 360...

(Is it worth getting a LED TV, and does it make a difference if its 6000, 7000 or the 8000 series if I just need good graphics, colors frames/sec?)



Answer
There are no LED LCDs below 40". The primary reason being that it would make for like a $1000 22" TV. Its just far too expensive a technology right now. In the long run it maybe become the LCD standard, and thus cheap, but for right now, its something you have to pay a huge price premium for. As such, you only find it in larger sets.

$500 for a 22" set seems overpriced to be honest. For $550 you should get a top notch 32" set. Something like a Panasonic TC-L32X1, Samsung LN32B450, or Sony KDL-32L5000.

You don't really see the advantages of 1080p in a TV of 37" or smaller. 1080p is more of an issue as you break into 40" and moreso into 50".

But as you want to use this as a computer monitor as well, I can see the possible higher expense. I would want something with DVI input, whereas a true TV will typically only have VGA at best. But I don't know about $500 for a 22" Vizio. You could get a premiere quality Dell for that price.

Dell has an amazing 23" widescreen monitor. It can do above HD resolutions. It has a color gamut of like 92% (really good). And regular price is under $500. Its the Dell SP2309W, I would recommend that highly over a Vizio. And it is a true 16:9 aspect ratio (a lot of computer monitors are actually 16:10).

The 6000, 7000, 8000 series from Samsung are all LED LCD. Again the minimum size is 40". And the prices are well north of $500. The variations between those lines isn't huge. As you go up in numbers you get some multimedia features and some better contrast results, but more often than not the 6,000 is going to have enough juice for a buyer.

Using LED Tv as a PC Monitor?




Hakan A�a


I'm using vga card Nvidia Gforce 560Ti. I have a new tv (Samsung 40ES700). When i connected my pc to tv with hdmi cable (gold socket) the screen is not good (1920X1080) .I cannot read text easily.
How can i fix this, i used windows clear text option but still same problem. I want to use my led tv as a pc monitor.



Answer
Match the TV screen's native resolution. Set the display settings on the display card to send out 1920x1080 pixels with a 60 Hz refresh rate to the TV.

If you match the TV's native resolution, then every pixel generated by the display card will correspond exactly to a pixel displayable by the TV. That will give you the best image you can get.

If you aren't matching the TV's native resolution, then the TV is scaling the image. This process "dithers" the pixels (either splitting them or deleting them as needed to make the image fit) and that can make text hard to read, especially small fonts. You won't notice this in slides/videos as much as in text.
ClearType can actually make the text worse if the display's red/blue/green subpixels are not exactly where the software expects them to be, or if the native resolution is not matched.

If 1920x1080 @ 60 Hz is not listed as one of the resolutions/refresh rates in the regular dropdown, you may find it under the "advanced" and "show all modes" section.

Why does my LED tv lag on games?




Leaha


I just bought a 55 inch un55d7000 Samsung LED television. When I play games on it, it seems like there is a second delay when I try to move in Halo. There is a game mode on it, and that fixes the problem, but when the television is set on game mode the picture quality is not nearly as good when it's on. I might as well have bought a Vizio at Walmart. Can somebody please help me fix this problem. I would like to be able to play Halo Reach with the game mode turned off. Do I have to change the Xbox settings and if I do what do I change them to?


Answer
There is no way to do what you want unless the xbox has settings which allow you to select different output resolutions. I don't have one so I don't know.

All modern digital TVs do video processing on their inputs. The TV has to figure out how to take all sorts of inputs signals and draw them on your screen. Since the input signal many times has less resolution than the display resolution, the TV has to fixer out how to display all those pixels. This is why when you turn the game mode off, the display isn't as nice looking. But the trade off is when you turn game mode off, it assumes you want to make the picture as nice as possible, which slows the display down.

Sorry but those are the choices you have.

pros and cons of an led hdtv versus an lcd or plasma?




Tim


thanksgiving day sale at walmart has a cheap led hdtv that i like, i have only had lcd hdtvs is there much a difference between the two someone explain the pros n cons of an led hdtv compared to an lcd or plasma hdtv or pros and cons of led itself


Answer
- I recommend Panasonic Plasma OR I recommend Samsung LED (better and/or expensive LED may not have the problems stated below because of additional technologies going into them). - http://reviews.cnet.com/best-tvs-picture-quality/
- Input lag for gamers: HD-TV may have more input lag if there is more processing going and how well the TV can process it. Example 1: Most PS3 or Xbox 360 video games are 720p, it would take processing power to upscale it to 1080p for a 1080p HD-TV (unless PS4 or Xbox one video games are 1080p it would be a good idea to get a 1080p HD-TV). Example 2: Interpolation and refresh rates can cause more processing too.ect = Gamer mode can turn off these processes to get less input lag.
- HD-TV viewing distance calculations: http://isthisretina.com/ OR http://www.thx.com/consumer/home-entertainment/home-theater/hdtv-set-up/ OR http://www.sony-asia.com/support/faq/47537 OR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance
- I am not going to talk about HD-TV features like 3D or smart HD-TV. Im not going to talk about projectors. Im not going to talk about the new OLED (RGB or W) HD-TV's.

- A plasma HD-TV is sometimes called an emissive display, the panel is actually self-lighting for each pixel. The display consists of two transparent glass panels with a thin layer of pixels sandwiched in between. Each pixel is composed of three gas-filled cells or sub-pixels (one each for red, green and blue). A grid of tiny electrodes applies an electric current to the individual cells, causing the gas (a mix of neon and xenon) in the cells to ionize. This ionized gas (plasma) emits high-frequency UV rays, which stimulate the cells' phosphors, causing them to glow the desired color.
= Better contrast = Plasma's have better black levels, but worse white levels. Plasma's are a emissive display which means better brightness accuracy and better color accuracy.
= Better viewing angles = Plasma is a emissive display, it has little/no picture problems when viewed of axis (not directly in front of screen).
= Better for dark-lit rooms, but worse for bright-lit rooms = Plasma's can have screen glare and less contrast and less brightness and faded colors in bright-lit rooms, but they have little/none of these problems in dark-lit rooms. Better and/or expensive Plasma's may use less reflective glass.
= Better response times = Plasma's florescent phosphor coating in each subpixel stops glowing just a few nanoseconds after the electrode turns off (on and off) which means less lag and less ghosting.ect
= Better refresh rates = Plasma's better response times bundled with it's sub-feild drives or focused-feild drives take each of a it's pixel's sub-pixels and flashes it a number of times to create a image, the way Plasma works has little motion blur with sub-feild drives or little/no motion blur (and better brightness control, color quality, contrast.ect) with focused-feild drives. (Plasma can use interpolation for judder too).
= Worse screen size options, and worse weight (thicker), and worse manufacturer choices = Plasma is a emissive display which makes it hard to make a Plasma screen size smaller than 40 inches for HD-TV and you may not find them larger than 70 inches for HD-TV because the power consumption will sky rocket. Plasma's tend to about 10-20 pounds heavier too and are thicker but that can provide better audio quality tho. Main brand Plasma maker is Panasonic or Samsung or LG.
= Worse power consumption, and worse life span, but better burn in, but worse high altitudes = A plasma can cost on average around $50 a year more. A Plasma can easily last 10 years and much more. Newer Plasma's have burn in technologies that make really hard or not possible to have permanent burn in, but there sill a chance you could get temporary burn in (even tho it's harder to do now). Plasma may not work in really high altitudes and if it does the TV would create a buzzing sound.
= Price = Plasma is more expensive to buy than LCD, but Plasma is less expensive to buy than LED. Plasma does not cost that much to make.

- An LCD HD-TV is sometimes referred to as a transmissive display, the panel has sections of lighting for a section of pixels. Light isn't created by the liquid crystals themselves; instead, a light source behind the LCD panel shines through the display (CCFL LCD or LED LCD). A diffusion panel behind the LCD redirects and scatters the light evenly to ensure a uniform image. The display consists of two polarizing transparent panels and a liquid crystal solution sandwiched in between. The screen's front layer of glass is etched on the inside surface in a grid pattern to form a template for the layer of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals are rod-shaped molecules that twist when an electric current is applied to them. Each crystal acts like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light. The pattern of transparent and dark crystals forms the image.
= Worse contrast = LCD's have worse black levels, but better white levels. LCD's are a transmissive display which means it is edge-lit or full-array-lit and it also uses local dimming (aka backlight-flashing/scanning) which turns off sections of CCFL or LED which means you can get brightness uniformity problems (brightness leaks into areas and you can see the brightness changing to make up LCD's bad contrast and slow brightness changes.ect) which means less brightness accuracy and less color accuracy .ect (Better and/or expensive LCD use LED lights and more emissive local dimming display and more advance technologies to get a picture as good or better than a Plasma).
= Worse viewing angles = LCD uses a CCFL backlight or a LED backlight (transmissive display), and the LCD pixels act like shutters (and the red, green, blue filters), opening and closing to let light through or block it, this shutter effect causes increasing variations in picture brightness as viewers move further off axis (not directly in front of screen) which means you may notice that the picture looks less bright and vivid and you might see slight changes in color too (IPS > TN).
= Worse for dark-lit rooms, but better for bright-lit rooms = LED or LCD have the most light coming off from their screen which may strain your eyes in a dark-lit rooms, but they have little/no screen glare and little/no picture problems in bright-lit rooms.
= Worse response times = LCD'S liquid crystals take longer to change from on or off (switch around) which means more lag and more ghosting.ect
= Worse refresh rates = LCD's have more worse response times bundled with it's refresh rates which use backlight-flashing/scanning or fake interpolation frames (for judder too) or just repeat the same real frames which help reduce motion blur, but does not eliminate motion blur.
= Better screen size options, and better weight (thinner), and better manufacturer choices = LCD is a transmissive display which makes it easier to make a LCD screen size very small like around 20 inches and you may find them larger than 70 inches because they use less power consumption. LCD's tend to be about 10-20 pounds lighter too and are thinner (edge-lit displays are even thinner) but that can provide worse audio quality tho. Many brands of manufacturer to choice from.
= Better power consumption, and better life span, and little/no burn in, and little/no altitude problems = A LCD or a LED can cost on average around $50 a year less. A LCD or a LED can easily last 10 years and much more.
= Price = LED is more expensive to buy than Plasma, and LED is even more expensive to buy than LCD. LED and all the advance technologies going into them make cost more to make, but that's why there is budget LCD versions instead.

Siucra


I'm thinking of buying this TV (link below). I've read some reviews and all seems good except some people complain about the quality of the sound system. How bad is it? I don't expect exquisite sound for this money but I don't want to buy a new TV using really outdated technology that will sound worse than what i'm used to (a 5-6 year old 37" SONY). Also does the price seem right? Any help or comments greatly appreciated.

Answer
LG 42LS5700 42-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED-LCD HDTV with Smart TV is an OK TV. If I could, I'd give it 2-1/2 stars. The LS5700's selling point is supposed to be the "smart" features that let you connect to the Internet, get content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, etc. and share content from other devices in your network. It does have a nice crisp HD picture after you tweak the color settings, and so-so sound, as expected.

Okay well I've looked at alot of tvs and I can't decide so I was wondering on reliability for sports and gaming. I have asked family and they like there plasma but some friends say that LCD is the way to go so I would like personal experience form someone who has owned both types and see what you say. Thanks in advance


Answer
You can count on me if you would like because I went through the same experience like you. I was suggested to buy a plasma TV three years ago and it would cost me HKD 30,000 but I decided not to go for it. Nearer the time, our govt promoted digital broadcasting and therefore I have to consider again buying a new TV. According to my research, the most modern technique is LED id TV. It is cheaper than some LCD TV for some brands. If between LED and LCD TV, LED saves more energy but id TV is on the popular side. Some TV model is compatible with LED with LCD and contains idTV technology but this cost one third of the price of a plasma TV. A common LED id TV nowadays is but half of the price. One thing of concerns is if your family have very elderly users then you will have to teach them how to use the remote control because this is modelled on the usages of computers. Therefore those old folks who have never or few experiences of new technologies might find it hard to watch the TV. You will have to spend time, perhaps again and again to get them use to the buttons and usages of the TV.

I want to buy a new tv but i dont know what to get. I am a gamer so i need one good for gaming. But i also want to get a tv that is good for watching movies and has good view for just regular tv watching so what one is the best for all of these. plz answer thanks


Answer
There are a few different types of TVs including: Plasma, LCD, LED, and 3D. The technology in TVs was released in that order, plasma being the earliest technology and 3D being the most current technology. I recently watched an electronics trade show where they talked about a new TV technology, which they are calling 4D. This new technology would allow you to view TV and movies in 3D without having to wear the glasses required for the current 3D TVs.

In terms of the type of TV to buy... I personally would not buy a plasma. When you hear people talking about a TV burning out or an image being burnt on the screen, they are most likely talking about a plasma. Plasma's, as they are the oldest technology of the flat screen TVs, tend to have lower quality and do not last as long.

At this point in time I also would not recommend a 3D TV. For one, you have to wear bulky glasses in order to take advantage of the 3D feature. Also, the new 4D TVs are rumored to have a release date of later this year.

LCD and LED are the two TV technologies that I would recommend. LED TVs have the highest screen quality and the best picture. LCD is the predecessor to LED and also have great quality, but not near as sharp or crisp a picture as an LED. I would recommend heading down to your local electronics store and looking at an LCD and LED side by side. If you cannot tell the difference in the picture then go with the LCD, since it will be much cheaper.

The big things to look for when buying a TV:
1080p vs. 720p - This is representative of the screen resolution. Essentially, the higher the screen resolution, the less grainy the picture will be. This especially applies to larger TVs since the larger the screen gets the more the picture is stretched. If the resolution is too low the screen will appear grainy. GO WITH 1080p.

60Hz vs. 120Hz - This is the TVs refresh rate or the speed of the TV. If the speed is low and you're watching a fast paced movie or sports game, the picture will be blurry because the movement is faster than the TV. 120Hz

Brand: Whatever you do, don't buy a TV that's really big and cheap and is an off-name brand. Stick to the well-known brands. Samsung, over the past few years, has received the highest reviews for their TVs, although they are on the expensive side. I would recommend Vizio, which also received good ratings, but is a more affordable choice.

What kind of HDTV is better: Plasma, LCD , LED, etc.?




FSPT_Tech


I want to buy an 40" - 46" HDTV (1080p) for my home to replace my 10 year old 40 " CRT TV. I've seen different types out there: Plasma, LED. LCD. What's the difference and which is considered best (quality-wise). Any references to links that explain the different types of TVs on the market now. I'm just now able to afford getting into 21st century technology and would like some help.


Answer
Confused about what type of TV to buy? LED LCD Plasma.. How to choose?

After all, there are so many acronyms and buzzwords to wrap your head around, such as 1080p, 120/240Hz, 24p, HDMI and LED backlighting. Huh?

Along with deciding how big a screen you want (which is usually tied to the size of your budget and the dimensions of your room), the next choice should be between LCD.LCD (LED Backlit) or Plasma â and all have their merits. Here, we'll describe each of these formats, and also point out their shortcomings.

LCD

What is it?
lcd tv 120mhzSimilar to your laptop computer's monitor, flat-panel LCD televisions use a liquid crystal display to produce a sharp and bright picture; these crystals are sandwiched between two panes of polarized glass, which are stimulated by an electric current and illuminated by fluorescent tubes housed behind the glass. Some newer LCD TVs, however, use LED-backlighting instead. LEDs, or light-emitting diodes, translate to a better-looking picture (see photo).

Pros
There are a number of advantages to buying a LCD televisions. For one, with more than three-quarters of all televisions embracing this technology, there is a lot of choice when it comes to manufacturers, models and sizes (13- to 103-inches, in fact). Competition, of course, breeds more aggressive pricing, too, which is good news for the consumer.

Flat-panel LCD televisions are also very thin, light and energy efficient, and are ideal for rooms with plenty of ambient light, which, for example, comes through large windows as they tend to absorb rather than reflect light (reflected light can obscure your view of the screen).

Cons
Until recently, LCD TVs didn't handle fast motion images as well as plasma TVs, resulting in a somewhat blurred image. Newer LCD TVs, though, have added technologies such as 120Hz frame doubling (or 240Hz frame quadrupling) to smooth out motion. It's still not as good as plasma, but much better than before. Also, LCD TVs used to have problems showing dark blacks (because a light was still on behind the pixel showing black, resulting in a more greyish hue). Many LCD televisions today use local-dimming with LED-backlighting (see next section) for improved contrast ratios (whiter whites and blacker blacks) - but, keep in mind, this is not an issue associated with plasma TVs.

LCD (LED Backlit)

What is it? Not a Different Type of TV

led lcd tv backlighting backlitItâs tempting to think LEDs belong in a completely separate category beside LCD and plasma TVs, but in reality, an LED television is just a type of LCD TV. The proper term would really be "LED-backlit LCD TV," but that always seems to get truncated to "LED TV" in everyday conversation, perpetuating the confusion.

To understand how LEDs function in an LCD TV, think of an actual liquid-crystal panel as the plastic pegs in a Lite Brite. They hold a translucent image, but without a powerful backlight to punch through and light it up like a signboard, youâre not going to see much. On your old Lite Bright, an inefficient incandescent light did the job, but pretty unevenly. On a typical LCD TV, fluorescent lights provide the backlighting through a special plastic sheet called a light guide that distributes light from a fluorescent tube evenly over the surface of the TV. On an LED-backlit TV, fluorescent tubes are replaced with light-emitting diodes â LEDs â the same technology that probably lights up your digital watch, the buttons on your monitor, and the indicators on your stereo. They can be either situated along the edges of the TV like a fluorescent tube, or arranged directly behind the screen in a grid. But what difference does it make, and why would anyone spend so much money on it?

The Benefit of LEDs

The most obvious reason LEDs have fallen into favor in LCD TVs: theyâre simply more efficient. Although fluorescent lights do a decent job converting electricity to light in the big scale of things, LEDs perform even better. Typically, manufacturers claim an efficiency improvement of up to 30 percent over fluorescent-based sets, which can add up significantly over the lifetime of a TV, especially on larger screens that use more juice to begin with.

LEDs are also much smaller than tubes, even after accounting for the number of them needed to light an entire TV. That means LED-backlit televisions can be manufactured significantly thinner than their tube cousins. For instance, most of the ultra-thin televisions that measured under an inch thick at CES used LED backlights, because they add very little depth to the profile. Though commercial variants arenât quite as dramatically thin as these prototypes, theyâre significantly skinnier than their fluorescent-backlit counterparts, making them some of the most chic and living-room-friendly HDTVs out there.

For home theater enthusiasts, LEDs only matter for one reason: image quality. Because fluorescent tubes mu

what is the best led tv?




a


I am looking for a led tv to buy and need some information on whats out there? Something in the 50in to 60in range with excellent picture and sound.


Answer
Oh good luck with that one. I have been doing expensive research on the very same thing. Many experts will tell you that if going with an extra large HDTV, plasma is the logical choice. Plasma is considerably cheaper that LCD in the larger sizes and offers better picture quality. When manufacturers sit at the drawing board to design a new LCD TV they decide what they expect for performance based on roughly a 45" TV. A good analogy for what I am trying to say is when you buy a 1/2 ton pickup a smaller engine will work perfect for it but if you upgrade to a big ol four door 1 ton truck you expect it to come with a bigger engine right? A 60" LCD has to provide it's picture from the same "engine" as the 45". Hope that makes sense.
With all that said, CNET, the leading expert on electronic technical review recently retested the very best picture quality TV's in the world. Panasonic's high end plasma's from last year. They released a message stating that in only 1500 hours (1 year) the picture had degraded so much they could no longer recommend the product! Talk about throwing a wrench in the works!
Last week as I was at my electronics store (which happens to be my Navy Exchange) they were pulling a brand new TV out of the box to put on display. It was the brand new 60" Sharp Aquos Quattron Quad pixel LED TV. The moment they turned it on I was sold. Absolutely amazing television. Good luck in your search my friend.

What is the best store to by a LED-TV?

Q. I would like to buy a new TV, but don´t know where I can get the best overview and information. Thanks for your help.


Answer
Use the Internet for general information on LCD/LED and plasma TVs. Once you get a general idea of the type TV you want, visit a store like Best Buy or Costco that has a lot of them operating as demonstrators. Write down the make and model of anything you like, then check out their reviews on the Internet at sites like Amazon and others.

For the best place to buy it, my choice is Costco, but only after you've done the homework above. Once you know the make and model you want, and it's in stock at Costco, buy it there. The reasons:

1. 90 day no-questions return privilege. If the set disappoints you for any reason, bring it back for an exchange or full refund. (Save your receipt and all the packaging.) I've done this--it works.

2. Costco doubles the manufacture's warranty, which usually means two years instead of one.

3. Costco gives you free technical support for a year, with a 24 x 7 phone number.

That first item has proven to be the most important. So far as I know, no one else offers a return policy like that except possibly for Sam's Club. You can hardly go wrong.

looking for LED TVs for with a home theater?




cholo


i'm looking for a LED TVs (i prefer samsung, sony, LG) with an internet ready, 40" - 50", very good graphics for playing 1080p and 720p mkv movies and with a mid-range or low-range price.
and a electricity power efficient. i'm from the philippines by the way.



Answer
If you are looking for a new 2012 model, almost all of them are 3D Smart TVs with built-in wifi. One of the biggest differences among them is the 3D technology they adopted. Samsung and Sony sell active 3D TVs and LG does passive 3D TVs which use the same technology as movie theaters. You should look more into it then it will be much easier to make a decision.

Is this lg 55in tv good for the price?




Mr Myagi


Any pros and cons? Can I watch 3d channels without the glasses? Thanks

http://www.walmart.com/ip/LG-55LM4600-55-1080p-120Hz-3D-LED-1.4-ultra-slim-HDTV/21693006#Specifications



Answer
That is the entry level 3D TV from the 2012 line up (the LM in the model number is the 2012 designation, LA is the 2013 lineup).

Overall - that series is considered to be a very decent TV. For that particular model...since it is the entry level...you will have somewhat less features than the higher up in the series (LM6200, LM6700, LM7600, LM8600, LM9600)...but overall it's not much different. This particular one does not have the Smart Features of the LM6200 and up...and it also doesn't have as good of processors as the LM7600 and up, but it should be decent enough for normal use.

As far as 3D and glasses are concerned. These TV's use passive 3D...meaning that (and this is in laymans terms) the picture is filtered in a way that when the glasses are put on...the left eye sees one picture and the right eye sees another...and your brain makes it 3D. Without glasses on...it will just look like an extremely out of focus picture.

As far as cons for this unit...there are 2:

1st (and this applies to a LOT of manufacturers and not just LG).
The 120Hz "Tru Motion Rate" is not the same thing as a 120Hz refresh rate. So - though it sort-of performs like a 120Hz TV...it really is a 60Hz panel. You will find this to be the case in most of the lesser expensive models from all manufacturers.

2nd:
Given that this is a left-over 2012 model...you are already starting out with 1 year old technology. Not saying that it's not good technology...but that there is already a newer model and any 2012 models are simply left-overs that didnt sell. You should expect to see a significant savings from the 2013 models. It's hard to price-compare an overstock model...since the major retailers who would normally carry these have already replaced them with 2013 models...so you can;t always rely on a quick google shopping search...as it's likely to come up with few results.

Overall though...$800 for a 55" 3D TV is not bad...so you certainly aren;t getting hosed at that price...but you just have to realize that it's marked down because it is in fact a 1 - 2 year old tv...even though its new.

What LED TV brand is the best right now?




skyin


Can I know full details? Like a consumer report...

As to why you think it is the best at the moment?

THANK YOU!



Answer
Hi skyin, LG WRman Greg here,

Each brand has their own strengths and weaknesses so it would be pointless to argue which one is the best as you don't specify your criteria. However, I will give some reasons why I think LG has some of the best models for LED TVs at the moment and let you decide for yourself. The LED TV from LG, particularly the LM-series, has the advanced IPS LED Plus panel that can deliver realistic and vibrant colors and contrast. The Local Dimming capability of the LG LED TV also creates greater contrast and range of colors. The built-in TruMotion feature of these TVs help to reduce any potential juddering images to create a smooth viewing experience in even the most action-packed sequences in games, movies or sport programs. And the Local Dimming function and the Picture Wizard functions will give you control of the picture quality so you can adjust the color and contrast in the TV to best suit you and your home environment. And if you are talking about 3D LED TV, the LM-series also boast some of the greatest features for 3D TV such as 3D Depth Control, 3D Sound Zooming and 2D to 3D Conversion. Together with these, there are many more innovations coming from LG in the year 2013 regarding LED TV.

LG WRman Greg out!

LED Flat Screen TV or LCD Flat Screen TV?




MarcoR


My family wants to buy a 50" for the living room. Which would be better to buy and why? And Sony, Samsung, or LG? I would like expert advice or close enough to.


Answer
First, understand that what mfgrs are calling LED are actually LCD also. Older LCDs are lit by CCFL - Cold Cathode FLuorescent - tube lights; more recent LCDs are lit by LED - Light Emitting Diodes. LED-lit have numerous advantages - newer tech, lower power consumption, higher contrast ratios, many say brighter, richer colors (I think so), and the ability to do "local dimming". There are two types of LED-lit: Edge-lit and Back-lit. The advantages to edge-lit is the lights are arrayed around the screen, reducing the need for lights behind it making for thinner ("razor") case - sometimes only 1/2" thick. But back-lit (usually more expensive, all other things being equal - size, etc) has more precise control of local dimming. One of the problems all LCDs face is inability to produce Black well (for technical reasons). Local dimming allows for actual dimming of the light source on an area-by-area basis, easier to do on back-lit than edge-lit, providing darker darks, something CCFLs can't do.
See here for further discussions:

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/lcd-vs-led-vs-plasma.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD_display

CCFLs will most likely last much longer than 5 - 7 years - they already have. But LEDs (and they don't have to be over-driven - you have some control over this in the Settings/Backlight menu) - well it's actually hard to know how long they'll last, as they haven't been around long enough to find out - all ratings now are estimates based on testing. Suffice to say they will last much longer than when they'll be woefully obsolete (4K, 8K and OLEDs are coming!). Hope this helps...
Oh, all the major brands are good - Samsung has recently been getting the best reviews, but let your eyes be your guide. Panasonic is good, even Vizio (!).

Is hisense a decent brand?




Kurt


Im looking at buying a 32inch full hd led tv. My main use for it will be gaming and and just watching tv.I was browsing a store where I saw a hisense tv that had everything I was looking for and was very reasonably priced and the picture quality was good. Do you think that it will be a smart buy or just a bad cheap quality tv?


Answer
Actually Kurt... your friends below are actually wrong. Do some research first. Hisense have been the #1 TV sold in China for decades. They're are what Samsung is to South Korea. Just starting to boom in the USA now, but have been building a solid reputation globally. They get a lot of criticism due to the fact they're manufactured in China, but that's peoples aversion to 'made in China'. And that's fine, they understand that, but they back up their product 100% through top design quality and service. Hisense stand for value for your dollar. Sure the brand name isn't there yet but 10 years ago neither was Samsung or LG.
Gee whiz I should work for them I guess, it just frustrates me when people comment whilst being ill informed... I've had a Hisense TV in Australia now for 7 years and it hasn't missed a beat.

Answer
Your TV has a VGA or HDMI in.

For VGA, you need a VGA to VGA cable, and a 3.5mm cable for sound (if you want to use the TV speakers.

For HDMI, your computer needs DVI or HDMI. In the case of DVI, you need a DVI to HDMI adapter. You may need a 3.5mm cable for sound.

What is difference between LED and LCD TV?




Hamed Tone


LED vs. LCD TVs


Answer
Many definitions of LED and LCD TV!
Their differences to a consumer as well as from the tecnical point of view are as follows:-

1. The viewing angle of LCD TV is less than that of LED TVs. LCD TVs are best viewed directly from infront and at the same plane as the screen i.e. a good view is not possible if viewed from the sides or from above or below the TV screen. LED TVs, on the other hand, has greater viewing angle.

2. LCD TVs can not be viewed under bright environment whereas LED TVs can be viewed even under direct sunlight. This is so because, the screen of LCD TVs made up of liquid crystals which changes color on passing current though it. Unlike LCD TVs, LED TV screens are made up of Light Emitting Diodes. Therefore, each tiny dot of light (pixel) on LED TV screen is like a light bulb and its glow is visible even under direct sunlight. For example, LCD TVs have the same screens as mobile phones and is not clearly visible under bright sunlight. You must have noticed that some mobile phones have light (a mobile torch).This torch is made up of an LED and thousands of such 'torch' form the LED TV screen.

3. LED TV consumes more power than LCD TVs. When and LED TV is turned on, we are actually tuning on thousands of tiny lights (LEDs) which consume more power than passing current on some liquid which is the case with LCD TVs.

4. LCD TV is more durable than LED TV under normal conditions. It is so because LED TV consumes more power than LCD TV and more power means generation of more heat which is the ultimately factor of wear and tear in electronic devices.

5. LCD TV saves power.

6. LED TV is costlier than LCD TV.

7. On running the TVs on backup power sources like UPS and inverters or if the TV were to be installed on vehicles, LCD TV will give a longer backup than LED TV.

If performance alone is considered, than LED TVs are preferred over LCD TVs. But where budget and durability is concerned, LCD TVs are the choice.

Which one a better LCD PLASMA LED TV?




Ash


And whats the difference?
I ask because I'm buy one for my living room
Thanks in advance



Answer
We had one led tv (samsung) and two lcd tvs (sanyo). We bought a 50" panasonic plasma tv and ended up swiitching all tvs to panasonic plasma (42" and 60"). This product is fantastic. Vivid colors, no blur, no lag on gaming and all are internet connectable (wireless). Supposed glare problem either never occured or on one tv was easily correctable. Burn in problem does not exist anymore, non factor. Viera link is great, gives you other nice options. Plasma has found its time again.

Which is the best buy LCD TV OR LED TV?




JEROME S


I'm looking to purchase a 50inch television, what's better LED or LCD?


Answer
- Top brands: Panasonic (Plasma) and Samsung (LED). (Plasma > LED > LCD). (LCD is going to be discontinued. A LCD tv uses cold cathode fluorescent lamps/CCFL backlights. A LED tv is a LCD tv, but with white or red, green, blue LEDs on the edge of the screen or a full array on the back of the screen).
= Plasma has best picture and audio quality (best response times, best viewing angle, best color quality, less/no motion blur for crisp/clear images because how it's refresh rate works). Newer Plasmas have improved their burn issues by using pixel shifting/scrolling. LCD/LED is best for bright rooms and have most light coming off the screen (Plasmas are not great for bright rooms because of screen glare and faded whites, but do great for dim or dark rooms). Newer Plasmas use less energy consumption and they are cheap to buy. LED are more popular because the manufacturers want to sell you their LED expensive tvs rather than their cheap Plasmas.

- I recommend 1920x1080p for movies, computer monitor/display, some tv shows, and some game console games and I recommend 1280x720p for some tv shows and some game console games. I recommend 40+ inches for movies and/or tv shows and 20-30 inches for computer monitor and 30-40+ inches for game console games.
- FPS (frames per second): Every video consists of a number of frames per second, think of a video as a fast moving flip book. NTSC countries use 60i or 30i FPS (newer stations use 30p or 60p FPS) for tv shows. PAL/SECAM countries use 50i or 25i FPS (newer stations use 25p or 50p FPS) for tv shows. Movies use 24p/25p/30p FPS (first movie to use 48p was LOTR: The Hobbit). Games use anywhere to 2 to 120 FPS (older games use lower FPS while newer games use higher FPS, usually they are up to 60 FPS today).
- TV refresh rate (measured in hz): Example, A tv with a refresh rate of 120 hz means it refreshes/flashes the entire screen 120 times a second.

- How do LED or LCD tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video? (I recommend real/true 240hz refresh rate, some tv advertising may fool you by listing the fake interpolation or fake backlight scanning/dimming refresh rates).
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation (Names of the new technologies for newer tv's at the link): Motion Interpolation or Motion Compensated Frame Interpolation (MCFI), is a form of video processing in which new fake frames are generated between existing ones to up the FPS of a video to reduce motion blur and/or for judder removal/judder adjustment. MCFI video processing may cause gamer input lag and/or artifacts such as the soap opera effect (may ruin the look of a video).
- Many tv's allow viewers to turn motion interpolation (MCFI) off. The tv repeats the frames a certain number of times to match the tv's refresh rate. Example; To display 24 frames per second on a tv with a 120 hz refresh rate, each frame is repeated 5 times every 24th of a second.
- But what happens if the FPS of a video does not match the refresh rate of the tv? Then you get a pulldown, a pulldown is what causes a jittery screen (aka judder) because the tv repeats the odd frames a different amount of times the tv repeats the even frames. Example; A 3:2 pulldown is post popular because it is needed to match a 24 fps video with a 60hz refresh rate tv, odd frames are repeated 3 times (12x3=36) and even frames are repated 2 times (12x2=24) and 36+24=60 FPS for a 60hz refresh rate tv.

How does Plasma tv refresh rates work with the FPS of a video?
- It will take each pixel in a frame and and repeat it a number of times based on the number of sub-field drives (SFD) the tv has with it's refresh rate. Example 1; (NTSC countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 60hz FPS x 10 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate. Example 2; (PAL/SECAM countries) 600hz sub-field drive/motion tv means 50hz FPS x 12 sub-fields per frame = 600hz refresh rate.
- What is focused-field drive (FFD) on Neo-Plasmas? (Light switching speed = better colors and less motion blur) 2500hz focused field drive means sub-fields are virtually packed into 1/2500th of a second as a sharp impluse, creating crisp motion images even in very very fast movining images (FFD is defined as a inverse of light emission period t. 1/t = 1/0.4ms = 2,500 FFD). Regular sub-feild drives like 50 FPS x 12 sub-fields = 600 hz, light emission spreads as wide as 1 field time (1/60th sec) maximum which results in blurry images for very very fast moving images.
- Refresh rates on Plasmas work similar to LED/LCD tv's. These settings are usually automatic, but you can change them in the advanced picture settings, Example 1; 2D 24p FPS mode and choose refresh rates of 48hz/96hz or 30hz/60hz with pulldown (might use interpolation frames for pulldowns), Example 2; 3D mode and choose refresh rates of 96hz for 24 FPS or 100hz for 50 FPS or 120hz for 60 or 24 fps.ect Of course it has gamer mode or many other adjustments.

VIZIO M220NV LED- Horrible Input Lag, Cant game on it HELP!?

Q. I just switched from a 32" CRT to this 56" LED:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN46C6400-Ultra-Slim-HDTV1080p/dp/B003EUOMDY

I noticed a huge difference in gaming. Its harder to play my games on this new tv! I read up about input lag or refresh late and all this jargon, but nothing helps me.

What can I do to mimic my CRT performance so I can actually play these games? (im a huge xbox gamer, Call of duty, Halo, and need the good response time) I heard about a Game Mode? But I dont think this model has it. Are there any settings I should set or change?


Answer
Ok which do you have? You say Vizio M220NV but your link goes to a Samsung! If it is a Samsung then yes you have Game mode. See page 23 of your owner's manual.

http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201009/20100906134240296/%5BUC6500-ZA%5DBN68-02711D-03Eng.pdf


The Vizio in your question is a 22 inch so I doubt that is what you want info on.

My Coby LED TV wont turn on.?




Techmann


I recieved a Coby 19" LED TV for christmas and after setting it up, it worked fine. After a little bit, it started randomly powering off. The manual said it could be the result of an electrostatic discharge and to unplug it for 30 seconds and plug it back in. It was a good temporary fix but it kept happening. After awhile of this happening, it stopped turning on. The manual said that it could have developed a malfunction and it could be solved by unplugging it for 30 minutes and the tvs restore function would reset itself. After waiting half an hour, it still will not turn on. Someone please helppp.

p.s. Model #- 1526/1926/2226/2326/2426
Serial #- 1092189-1002409



Answer
if the tv is under warranty. send it in or take it back. if its not under warranty, then i think you have a case of bad capacitors. same thing happened to me. if its out of warranty, try changing the capacitors yourself. i used this youtube video to change my caps when they went bad. heres the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbGiXqBAvvo

32 inch LED HDTV for PS4?




scott


I'm planning to get a PS4. For a true gaming experience should a HDTV with 720p suffice or 1080p?


Answer
You should go for a full HD 1080p TV set. Not only for gaming, but for all other content you may watch on it. There's quite a big difference from 720p to 1080 and you can easily observe that on youtube.

The newer 4K ultra HD TVs have raised the standards for what we call image quality, and their recent price drop have made that all other TVs to become more affordable. Believe it or not, 720p TVs are on their way out of the market.

Hope this helps.

What's better, a 42" LED TV or a 47" plain LCD TV?




Zach


For the same price I'm looking at two different tv's by Vizio. The one tv is a 42" LED LCD TV 120hz. The other tv is a 47" LCD TV 120hz. Is it better to get a LED tv or a tv that is 5 inches bigger?


Answer
You get a higher Contrast Ratio from a LED TV then from a regular LCD TV. And yes, it saves power usage.

What is my best option for at least a 47" LED TV ?

Answer
You can get a 55" Insignia for about $1,100 or an LG LED 47" w/ web browser for about $1,200. And as mentioned Best Buy currently has a 46" 'Smart' TV from Samsung on sale for $999.99 before tax.

Personally I'd get a plasma unless you have a ton of natural light in your room.. You get a better picture for less money than the same size LED-LCD or LCD.

Referring to the 'natrual light'.. if you have lots of windows, you're going to get glare on a plasma's glass screen. An LED will be bright enough to overcome a lot of natural light.. I'd just get the LED if its for someone with bad eyesight, as it will have the brightest and sharpest picture.

how to remove a lg lcd tv stand?




shantpat


on a 42lg or 47lg


Answer
if you are talking about the factory stand it comes on, there are either 2 or 4 screws that hold the TV to the stand, typically they have and arrow over the screws you should remove. If that is not how your tv is then go to LG.com and type in the model number and pull up the manual. the model number can be found on a sticker on the back of the TV.

Which TV has a clearer/better picture ,LCD or LED ?




Keith





Answer
LED tv's still use LCD panels so picture quality will be the same* however you can get more dynamic colors in LED than you can in LCD because of the change in the lighting. And it's harder to find good LCD's tvs now since LED's have penetrated the market almost completely on bigger tv sizes

*to get technical if you were to spell out the entire technology LED TVs are a shortened form of saying LED-LCD TV which means an LCD panel with LED lighting. Standard LCD TVs are shortened form of LCD-CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent light).

should I buy an LED tv?




R


or will the price go down soon? I found that I can get around a 40 inch LED from walmart for $800. Kinda don't wanna get a regular LCD after I've seen the new ones


Answer
LED TV ( LCD-LED back-light ) is refine of LCD TV. it much better pictures quality / smooth pictures than LCD TV.
However , too many " off brand " LED TV on the market , is low quality LED TV. use 5ms Response time LED display panel.. really not worth that prices.
LED TV . go for Samsung / LG / Sony / Sharp , there use quality LED display panel . 2 ms Response time for Mose of the models. with 120 HZ refresh rate really smooth pictures .
Prices for any electronics items always " drop " every six months.
LED TV prices , of course will become much cheapest , but don't forget, new technology keeps coming. soon .. may be other TV maker use Sharp " quattron " RGB+Y technology ( as this moment , only Sharp use that , is great in colour display )
if you paid less for LED TV in next six months, that time you may think about new technology.LED TV ? and wait for another six months again .....no end !
Regular LCD TV prices also " drop " after another six months. TV maker swift to LED TV .
