LED Tv’s is a term used by Samsung. This tv is like any other LCD but with LED’s used as a back-light. This means it is possible to get greater contrast and darker blacks. They also use less power.
LED tv are LCD tvs with light emitting diodes as back lights most lcd tvs use Miniature cold cathode tubes.
I have seen both types of tv on display and the picture quality is virtually indistinguishable.
The only advantages of led would appear to be a slimmer tv and possible longer lifespan.
The disadvantage of led at present is price which is forecast to drop near to the price of conventional lcd tvs.
Some manufactures are developing led tvs in which the back light levels in different areas of the screen can be varied to increase the apparent contrast.
LCD VS LED .
LED is Prefect .almost with out ” motion Blur “.less power consumption than LCD . Pictures Quality very close to Plasma Display.
LED TV available only 40 inc above screen. Sharp 32 / 37 inc should be on the market by end Sep 2009.
LED TV prices is 4X compare to Standard same size LCD . 2 X compare to Hi END LCD TV.
All LED TV on the market are Quality. because only by World Class TV manufactures as this moment. * Samsung.Sony.Sharp.*
/ Panasonic.LG.Toshiba on the way soon..

** SMART OPTION *
If you looking for 40 inc above screen. Plasma still the best . Prefect in Pictures Quality.
New Panasonic Plasma Technologies make Plasma ” NEW LIFE “.
Life time for Plasma is 60,000 hours as good as LCD/LED display.
Anti Burn in circuit designs make easy burn in become history.
Less ” heat ” acceptable ” hot ” from TV.
Power consumption compare to LCD is 30 % more. LED is 50 % more. but is not more than $ 100 for a year. ( compare to 50 inc LED and Plasma ,switch on 10 hours a day )
For a LED 40/42 inc . you paid about $ 2500.
For a LED 50 inc .costs about $ 4800
you paid Quality New Panasonic Plasma 42 inc about $ 800 / 50 inc about $ 1100.
you enjoy PERFECT Quality . paid much less on New TV. what is $ 100 more for electric in one year. ?.

Own a Panasonic Plasma for another 6-8 even 10 years. that time LED TV prices will be 50 % less. should be better option.
LED TV’s are still really LCD TV’s, but they use Light-Emitting Diodes as a light source behind the LCD panel rather than fluorescent tubes. LED-backlighting is a newer technology that should allow future TV’s to look better, although neither one is inherently better as things sit today.
With traditional LCD TV’s, the fluorescent lights are always “on” behind the LCD layer. The liquid crystal is there to block the light or let it through depending on the image you’re watching. But you generally get some light “leaking” between the pixels which is why you can’t ever get the picture to look really black as long as the TV is turned on.
Since LED’s are individually addressable, the idea is that you could turn parts of the backlight on or off to make parts of the screen blacker during dark scenes. Pretty cool. The implementation of these new features is only really starting to heat up so it’ll be interesting to see how it progresses. For now, the advantage of CCFL-backlight is that it is a mature technology and predictable. The advantage of LED-backlight is that you can get a TV that is even thinner and may consume even less power.
Buy the TV that looks best to you.
I would definitely NOT recommend “buying the TV that looks best for you” because in most stores the lighting is so unlike what you’re seeing at home and it makes the sets with great black level details like the Panasonic Viera plasma’s, look not so different from the severaly underperforming in house brands like Insignia, Dynex, etc.
The best sets on the market are still plasma’s and at those prices it’s not surprising.

Some of the new LED sets are not true LED sets like the Sony XBR8 and Samsung 950 series. However despite the great blacks, motion reoslution and ANSI ratings these sets have they still suffer a LOT with viewing angle and blacks get washed out quickly.
