"Traditional" LCDs use a backlight source that is a CCFL (fluorescent). The LED LCDs use a backlight source that is well an LED. That's the technical difference between the two.



The LED light source provides your LCD TV blacks, colors, and contrast that are far superior. It would push the TV a lot closer to Plasma like levels (not quite, but very respectable). But you have to pay a price premium for this feature right now.



Because LED sets are supposed to be 'high end' sets, they also will likely come with 120Hz or 240Hz refresh rates. This helps to overcome the inherent flaw of LCDs. LCDs are bad a fast motion. They suffer from motion blur (ghost trails). So hence the higher refresh rates. But again, its part of the price premium you pay for these sets.



As you're looking at 46" you are realistically in the mix for having to care about the color, contrast, and blacks of your TV (and the refresh rate). As you break 40" (but moreso 50") those things matter a lot more. So there is potentially image quality value in going LED.



But you could save money and just go with a Panasonic or Samsung Plasma. It would give you better image than even an LED LCD. And more importantly it would cost a whole lot less.



But, all that being said, people have different sensitivities to these things. So you need to go into a store and do some direct comparisons for yourself. You're the one watching your TV, not people on the Internet, so it needs to be suitable for your eyes. At the end of the day, if the image you see looks great to you, then the tech specs are meaningless. You're buying this TV to entertain yourself, not the Internet.

LED TV is more a marketing gimmick. It is still LCD TV, merely lighted by LED in the back. LCD itself doesn't produce light so it has to be driven by a source at the back. Traditional LCD TV is backlighted by Fluorescent Light but Samsung's new "LED" TV is lighted by LEDs. It is more energy efficient and may deliver better picture quality.

the adaptation is interior the form of backlight. "liquid crystal exhibit" TVs use compact fluorescent lamps for the backlight. What all and sundry is calling "LED" TVs are easily liquid crystal exhibit TVs that take place to apply LEDs for the mild instead of CFLs. they could desire to truly be referred to as LED-liquid crystal exhibit. some have the LEDs in the back of the exhibit, some have them around the sting (with a device of sunshine pipes and diffusers to unfold the mild flippantly). The latter enables a very skinny television. LED-liquid crystal exhibit TVs can enforce something referred to as "selective dimming". liquid crystal exhibit TVs have continuously had an argument with black tiers: they do no longer coach element nicely in darker aspects of the exhibit, because of the fact the liquid crystal exhibit does not have plenty room between "extremely dark" and "black." "Selective dimming" ability turning down the LED brightness interior the aspects in the back of the dark aspects of the image, permitting the liquid crystal exhibit to "open up" greater and nevertheless get a similar dark section - this provides plenty greater effective visibility of element in those aspects. The backlit LED-liquid crystal exhibit TVs can do selective dimming greater effectively than the edgelit fashions. There are no longer any direct-view LED TVs apart from Sony's $11,000 very small OLED demonstrator variety, and a few very super outdoors reflects. ------- Marcus: you're describing direct-view LED instruments. those do no longer exist for all intents and purposes. The "LED" TVs you notice in shops are (apart from that little OLED Sony) LED-liquid crystal exhibit TVs as I defined above. and that they have each and all of the view perspective, and so on., subject concerns of LCDs, because of the fact they *are* LCDs. power intake is with regard to a similar for a similar brightness point for LED backlit vs. fluorescent; slightly greater for LED edgelit because of the fact the mild pipes and diffusers cause them to much less effectual.

and led TV is an LCD with an led back light. The only difference it that it allows the TV to be slimmer, more energy efficient, and produce less heat.



that's about it.

led is newer tech n most likely for the same size tv ...u r looking around 3 grands for led.led is much thinner panel which can produce contrast better than lcd.u get true black.hope that help.

LED come with more mega dynamic contrast ratio than LCD (LED have 3,000,000:1 to 5,000,000:1 while lcd come with 25,000:1 to 100,000:1) that make led give you better picture quality.

LED come with very thin for only 1.2" and 40% less power consumption.
