If you have the "moolah", go & get the Samsung LED. I have seen these myself, and really, they're better than LCDs in terms of picture quality, weight, & power consumption.

Pero ako LCD lang muna. I just got myself a Sony Bravia 32" lately.

Mahal pa LEDs eh........

Yung LED refers to the backlighting ng LCD. Yung magandang klase ay yung full panel LED backlight. Mahal lang pagkagawa nito, Yung lumabas ngayon ay tawag edgelight LED o nakalagay yung ilaw sa kanto. Maganda 'to tignan dahil payat, pero maraming drawback ang kapalit. Common na sakit ay yung biglang dumdilim yung picture dahil sa brightness. Unfortunately, ginagamit ngayon ng Sony, LG at Samsung, for "eco-friendly" reason rather the picture-qulity... Pero kung gusto mo ng LCD, mas mabuti yung ordinary na lang.

Pros
-Incredibly thin display is one of a kind

Cons
-Annoying screen brightness fluctuations with dark or near-dark material
-Poor light uniformity thanks to sidelighting
-There is no way to lessen the Auto Dimming.

It's not worth the money yet. Being a new tech, it's super expensive but its price would stabilize around the current LCD prices in a year or two. I have seen the Samsung LEDs and it's nice but having owned quite a number of Samsung stuff (both home and IT consumer), I am quite traumatized with their lack of quality.

I'll wait for LG or Sony. For the meantime, I'll stick with cheaper 120Hz+ HDTVs.

I'm also in the market for LCD TV's. Right now, I'm eyeing the Samsung B530 40-incher. I wouldn't go for LEDs at the moment, since reviewers point out a lot of issues. Well, the technology is still new, so that's expected.

For me, as long as its Full HD, has at least 2 HDMI ports and a USB slot, I'm a happy camper.

If it will be purely for movie and cable TV watching, why don't you consider the good 'ol Plasma TV? It's cheaper and have better picture quality compared to LCD TVs.

But doesn't even current plasma TVs have burn-in problems as well as a life span of a few years only with daily use?

all LEDs are LCDs. Ang difference lang ay nasa backlighting techniques. LCDs use flourescent lightings while LEDs use Light Emitting Diodes wherein you can dim it in darker areas (CONTRAST). Sa COLOR accuracy ay hindi nagkakalayo. DURABILITY is questionable sa LEDs kasi new technology pa lang ito, they don't have much history.

I say I'd go for LCDs.
