Hey all
I'm looking to by a new tv. Only specs I am 100% on are
Size: has to be 46 inch
Type: LED
Freq: 100hz or greater
Price: £700-1000
I've been looking around and the Samsung ue46d5000 seems to be the perfect choice but there seems to be very few reviews about.
I'm upgrading from a 40'' Sony, 1080p LCD, 50'' (Kdl40w2000). I'm guessing an upgrade based on the new specs i'm looking for will be worthwhile?
Would love some advice!
On another note, I did notice some 400hz tv's. Is that mainly for 3D or does it make a big difference in movies and games compared to 100hz?
Thanks in advance
Adam

I wouldnt buy a LED or 3D tv right now.
Plasma all the way-Only thing Plasma Starts at 42" and goes up
better and deeper blacks
wider off angle viewing
awesome for fast motion-600Hz refresh rate while the top LCDs/LEDs are only 240Hz(also LCDs use whats called interpolation so to play games with out lag you will have to turn the tv to 60Hz)-Best for gaming and sports watching
No burn in-on new plasmas-was a problem 5 years ago
they do use more power than the LCDs-But really if you cant afford the possible 3-5 bucks a month in and increase in your power bill-You do not need to be buying a big tv to begin with.
The short life people are talking about equals about 10-15 years of watching. really who wont buy a new tv in 10 freaking years???
Right now the top Plasmas are made by Panasonic(according to Cnet, consumer reports and a few home video mags). Right now 50" 1080p ( i own this one and the 65" version) at best buy USA around 899 for the 50" 720p is 599
LED tvs are just a LCD with a LED back light instead of Florissant tubes!!!!!!!!!!
LED tvs ARE JUST LCD with different backlighting they still suffer all the drawbacks of LCD but are just brighter

Answer
Consumer Reports testing indicated the LED sets with full matrix backlighting and local dimming capability produced varying degrees of enhanced black levels and contrast. They also said that a set with poor local dimming can cause undesired effects in the picture that non-LED TVs don't have. The one full matrix LED they liked a lot was the Samsung UN46B8500.
Another difference: LED sets use less power than a set with fluorescent backlighting.
With edge-lit LED backlighting, the biggest difference you see appears to be the fact that the TV is very thin.
My impression: if you have a good LCD with fluorescent backlighting now and are happy with the picture, the extra cost of an LED-equipped set won't get you anything significantly better than what you already have.
