Answer
LED TVs...aka...LED LCD TV's have a couple advantages over standard LCD!
Most importantly, LED TVs use up to 50% less electricity then standard LCD TVs!
Also...LED TVs have better black levels and contrast ratios then standard LCD! This is do to the fact that LED back lights are smaller and can illuminate a smaller area. Providing better localized dimming compared to standard LCD's, which use long fluorescent tube back lights!
However...LED TVs still do not have the "native" contrast ratios that Plasma's have! Nor do they have the motion sharpness either! Plasma TVs still have the highest native contrast ratios(40,000:1) and fastest response times(.001ms) as well as the fastest refresh rates(600hz)! And Plasma's are cheaper then standard LCD TV's!

Would receiver afftect quality of fast 240Hz LED/LCD TV?

I was wondering if I should worry about receiver's capability of handling output to LED TV such as LG 55LE8500 240Hz.
I'm putting togather a list for a good/quality home theater system and would appreciate your input!
Here is what I have so far (on paper):
TV: 55" LG 55LE8500 240Hz
Receiver: Denon AVR1910 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver (or better in the same price category or a bit higher)
Blu-ray player: LG BD590 250GB HD Network Blu-Ray Disc Player
Speakers: Bose Acoustimass 10 speaker system
HDMI cables: (Not sure yet)
and Logitech Harmony 900 universal remote control
Thanks in advance for any advise!
Answer
Yes,
Your receiver will have affect on your image quality on your LED tv.
But Denons are usually pretty good. You will have to look up more info on forums such as: AVscience, Tom's Hardware etc. [NOT ALL HDMI PASS-THRU's ARE CREATED EQUAL!] I'd also look at offerings from Samsung or Sharp [personal preference to those brands instead of LG... but LG definitely is great bang for buck!]
As for your package...
everything looks great! --- except for the Bose part.
I know that many may think that Bose is awesome and best... but that's not tru.
in case you did not know, the AM10 speakers are poor quality, and sound quality is OK at best. They are also unsuitable for music. It would be a waste to hook it up to the Denon AVR.
I'd check out offerings from Klipsch.
They too have compact systems: Klipsch HD500 - better sound, better build quality for le$$.
Also checkout the Klipsch Quintet... the speakers are a little bigger... but so is the sound.
Please take heed! - Bose is a rip-off. There are so many other brands and options. I've tested their systems and as they sound OK... there's so much better... then they charge arm and leg for mediocrity and bad quality.
Another sytem: If you are looking for toptop quality: Look at B&W MT series:
http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/display.aspx?infid=821&sc=ht
These will cost about the same as the AM10... give or take a little... and you will get 10x the sound quality... and be able to play music - with excellent, warm, accurate sound quality.
Please take a look at:

this site will give you the facts of the accoustimass/lifestyle series - which is garbage compared to the above options from Klipsch and B&W.
Good LUck!
