What's so special about LED TV's?

Q. I have a 42 inch LG 120hz LCD TV. And I walk in the store
and I see my same LG 120hz TV I have, next to a LG 42
inch LED LCD 240hz and all I notice is the picture is brighter
and a bit more colorfull but 500 dollars more.

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!

what is a led lcd tv?

Q. im buying tv i need to know

Answer
An led TV uses an led lighting system. This allows the TV to run cooler, be more energy efficient, and last longer than its conventionally lit counterpart. The leds also allow for a slimmer profiled housing, and allows the lighting to be changed more locally within the screen, giving better color production and truer blacks. The trade off is that because the leds are still fairly new, they tend to cost more than the regular LCD TVs.

We bought a 56" Samsung Touch of Color LED TV a few days ago and I've been enjoying MW2 on it alot. But now my step dad is saying that I should limit my playing time on it because the game's stationary HUD might burn into the screen. I only play for about 2 hours a day and so does my sister, so there's about 4 hours of playing time a day. Is this enough to damage the screen?

Answer
Theoretically, no LCD TV (which is what yours actually is) will have a burn-in problem. That's a characteristic of older plasma TVs. LCDs with LED backlighting are the latest and the greatest, so there is very little likelihood that they'll ever suffer a burn-in problem.

how can i take led tv to india from usa?

Q. I bought 55 inches LED TV recently. I would like to take it to India with me(planning to travel to india). Please suggest me the best way to carry it. Is it better to ship or will airlines allow me to carry this tv with me instead of one bag? How much does they charge in airlines and how much does they take if I ship? Answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
A bigger problem is the incompatibility of your set with the TV broadcast system in India. India uses the PAL system. North America uses the ATSC/NTSC system. Your TV won't receive local channels in India.

Also, the voltage mains there are 240v/50 hz. Your TV *might* be optionable for that voltage and line frequency--check your owner's guide. But as equipped for the U.S. market, it's set up for 110v/60 hz.

You might be better off returning your set for a refund if possible, and buying one locally in India. That also saves you the hassle and cost of transport, customs, etc.

How do i hook up a playstation 2 to a samsung led tv, which does not have a A/V hook up?

The Samsung led tvs do not have the red/yellow/white hook up but they do have a hdmi, Dvi, Pc/ Dvi, usb, Hdd, and composite cable. Can i buy anything to get my playstation 2 to work with it?

Answer
My Samsung LED tv came with 2 extra cables. You can plug the cables in the tv in what looks like a mic port, and you will then have the red/yellow/white hook up on the other end. The second cable you can plug in is for Component. You should have a picture on the back of the tv where you can see where you should plug in which cable.
