Im going to buy a new flat screen TV, should I go for a LCD or LED?
What are the pros and cons of the two? (examples - games, film, motion, etc...)
Answer
Led tvs are the best flat screen tvs right now.
I own a samsung led tv and a samsung lcd tv. The led tv picture is better and has darker blacks. I also think it does not blur like some lcd tvs do watching sports.
Led tvs also can be viewed from more angles than a lcd tv. I know for a fact LED tvs use less energy and anyone who says they do not does not have one. My electric bill went down after i bought the same size led tv to replace another flat screen tv i had.
Led tvs also should last longer since led lights are the longest lasting bulbs. Gaming i am not sure about have not tried on on my led tv. Plasma is faster than most lcd tvs but it can burn image into tv.
Hdtv on my led tv is the best i have seen and after over 1 year i have had NO problems with led tv i did have a problem with a lcd once after a year so i will always buy led tvs.
Go to local store look at a samsung led tv and compare it to lcd tvs and plasma tvs. I will always buy samsung led tvs from now on i love the tv i bought. Make sure to bring truck or suv if you buy larger led tv at local store they sometimes do not want you to put the tv in a car they will not warranty it if you do. I bought my led tv online and they shipped to my home. It cost less also online.

Answer
LED is just a form of LCD. While the LED backlight improves the color, contrast, and blacks of a LCD set, it does not fix the inherent refresh flaws of the technology. So you can still suffer from motion blur (ghost trails). However, I think all LED sets are at least 120Hz refresh if not 240Hz. It is as good as LCD can offer you to cope with the issue.
LCD is a matte finish, so can be better for rooms with too much ambient light. LCDs on the whole tend to use less power than Plasma (and CRT). However, not all models are made equal. Also there are now Plasmas that can compete on that front as well.
LCDs are the better choice however in smaller sets. That's why you'll not see the major plasma manufacturers making sets in under 40". You just don't get the advantages of Plasma in smaller sets as much (and definitely not in a bang-for-buck scenario). So size does matter in your decision making process.
Plasma's suffer from a number of myths. Modern plasmas do not suffer burn-in, not half decent brands at least. They have come a long way since their early days. To play it safe you can condition the TV. For the first 100-200 hours, keep the contrast and brightness cranked down. Then optimize and enjoy.
Plasmas do not have shorter life spans. There are Plasmas rated to 100,000 hours that cost way less than LCDs. At 8 hours a day, 365 days a year, that's 30+ years of life. Every model, LCD or Plasma is different. Neither technology is inferior on this front.
Plasmas do not have problems with high altitudes anymore. Again, early models had this flaw, but modern ones do not. You can own a plasma safely in mile high Denver, so unless you're in the Himalayas, you should be fine.
For plasma, go with Panasonic. They are the best, affordable, option out there for you. Pioneer Kuro Elite is technically better, but the price tag is steep. Samsung and LG make reasonably well reviewed sets as well if you just don't dig Panasonic.
If you need an LCD, because of size or preference, Samsung is the world leader. Sony and Sharp also make really strong sets too. In the 26" - 37" range, Panasonic is actually a top tier choice as well. While known for their plasmas, they actually make extremely top notch LCDs in that size. LG does make some good LCDs as well, but do your homework on the models.
Plasma has a near instantaneous refresh rate (like CRT) and suffers no motion blur problems. Plasma has superior colors, blacks, and contrast, even to LED LCDs.
