Ok lang yan. I also don't have a LCD or whatever flat-screen TV. But I do have a DLP projector. It can give me a screen the size of 120 inches if I have a wall big enough to act as the screen. Just connect it to a good enough video source (PC, laptop, media center, etc).

I already saw this "led tv" on Samsung Philippines website sometime ago. I remember they mention it about being more green and slimmer.

if only a 52" screen would only cost 80k, ok na ok, lcd or led.

what are the advantages/disadvantages of LED compared to LCD?

Sobra pang mahal nyang LED TV, the 40" model costs 150K+, while a similar sized LCD model costs only around 50K.

Mahal pa kasi ang production ng LED Backlighting units. Everybody wants to move na to LED but it's a bit prohibitive at this time. Sa Laptops, Sony led it and Apple shortly followed.

Ang advantage lang ng LED sa CCFL is longer life and instant full brightness. sa CCFL kasi you'll have to wait for 30mins (IIRC). LED consumes lesser electricity too. CCFL requires an inverter pa (ballast) to feed high-voltage to the FL in order to drive it.

But there's a better version of LED, RGB-LED. It's so much better over white LED or any CCFL because it can achieve almost 100% of NTSC / Adobe RGB (most tvs can only do around 50% - and those are the good ones).

Another technology to watch out for is OLED. Organic LED. Ito naman, di na kailangan ng backlight.

Not interested for now. Wait lang for the economies of scale to drive the cost of the technology down.... LED indeed has come a long way since the days when it's just a logic indicator in a circuit....

Another advantage of LED backlights is you can get blacker black areas of the screen simply by turning off the LEDs in the area of the screen that is black.
