Led Tvs
 

Who is getting a new Led Tv and who already has one. I have yet to see one but i am wondering if they look good.

man, go see them if you haven't yet. they look beyond fucking good. like mindbogglingly unbelievable sexy picture. i went in to buy a new plasma a couple weeks ago, and was like a deer in the headlights when i walked by the big 52" samsung led. the pixel dimming and true blacks are just incredible, especially displayed a high quality video like a bluray or such. that fucking tv will make you jizz in your pants. expensive, but hey, if you got $5000 to burn. this is a good way to do it....

i got a 55" Samsung series 8 the other day. insanity. I had been watching things on older series 6 LCDs, difference is very very evident on HD content and regular.

I'm buying one for sure when I finally go home. Right now I have a 50inch plasma but since no one lives in my house no point dropping $4000 for one... when I'm back living there tho first thing I'm buying is an LED tv.

In my opinion these TV's are the best value out there right now, the 52" 7 Series Samsung, which is very similar to the 8 Series, is currently available on amazon for like 1300 bucks, which is an absolute STEAL. Right before I left retail about a year ago, the same TV was selling for double that. The LED's are sick, but just like any other new technology, a bit pricey right now. Pick up a 6, 7, or 8 Series Samsung and you'll still be amazed by the picture quality. :2 cents::thumbsup

Saw LED TVs this week but i thought the difference will be bigger.. and it was bluray on them

Plasma is the best price/value combo right now, they are super cheap, yet the quality is amazing. LCD is still shit, so anyone who replaces their LCD with plasma will see a big difference. LEDs are great, but the price isn't right yet and the difference to plasmas isn't really that big. At least I don't see it.

I haven't been paying attention, are LED computer monitors out yet?

If you think the samsungs look nice look at LG's led

LG has backlit led while samsung is just side lit

I have a 3 or 4 year old Plasma TV which I love, that was, until I saw an LED TV yesterday. Just amazing.

People forget that BLACK is a color too, and LED TV's do the black color perfectly.

I won't be buying one this year but probably next summer.

I have two 48 inch plasmas from toshiba. they do the job. Im broke anyway and cant even afford food barely so leds will wait. Fyi plasma tvs are on their way out, go into anystore and you will see everything is lcd. i never went with lcd because of the tilt angles i hear you can experience and my couch isnt in front of the tv do to the house layout so i went with plasma. Do the led's give off heat? do they have energy star becasue i hear lcds are very energy efficient as opposed to plasma. The led light i read are as thin as a credit card and because they are backlit it makes a huge difference in how they work. to much new technology going on right now to keep up. even blu-ray will be obsolete in 2 years. disney is already working on something

I think you came in your pants a little writing that... :1orglaugh

I've been hearing good things about the LG LED TVs.

They look incredible, if you haven't seen one in person, go see one.

I jizz in my pants every time I think about it... :2 cents:

Also wanna buy a LED panel.

Led TV? What's that? Never heard of it.

light emmiting diode

not liquid crystal display (lc)

not plasma (plasma)

it will be interesting to see how they break eg. will one diode go out or will it be a whole square block.

my 15" Macbook pro has a LED display and it looks very nice..

I'd love to see a LED Projector some day cause I love my projector but it puts off so much damn heat!


See they have one but I don't think $14k is going to be my next projector haha

This is completely incorrect. LED refers to the back-lighting the screen uses, not the method for displaying the picture. LED's shine trough an LCD display, instead of CCFL backlighting shining through an LCD.

BOTH are LCD televisions.

glad you cleared that up, I thought there was a huge shift in technology being used that I missed noticing... guess it's not so much of a huge shift then

As soon as I get my Bernie Madoff refund check I'm getting one!!!


.

We have the 46" Luxia 6000 and like a few other posters have mentioned, it's fucking mind-blowing how good it looks.

apparently it is still a lcd however

1. Dynamic RGB LEDs mean better blacks......not that i dont like blacks as they are now. Its always good to have a better black.

2. Edge-LED. goes around the frame and is spread across the back

the two types.

The new led save 40% more power then the current lcds.

3. I am pretty sure there is actually development that i read in P.m. about a new led technology that will be as thin as a credit card and will give a great crisp picture. Unless i read that article wrong but did find this article on a google search.

The smaller end of the screen size spectrum will soon belong to organic LED (OLED). OLED needs no backlighting because the pixel grid itself is an array of colored lights. Such "active-matrix" OLED displays are also brighter than active-matrix LCD technology. OLED screens have every other screen technology beat in the contrast and brightness departments and they're also thinner. Sony's 11-inch XEL-1 is currently the only commercially available OLED TV, and it boasts a thickness of 3 millimeters. LG has announced a 15-inch OLED TV that will be a scant 0.85 millimeters thick, which will launch Korea at the end of this year.

and the more kick ass part of that article is here

Once credit loosens up and those fabs come online, OLED will finally be able to break out of its small-screen niche. Ultimately, OLED has potential applications far beyond HDTV. OLED displays can be printed on a flexible plastic substrate, and foldable screens with the thickness of a credit card have already been demonstrated at CES 2009. Clear OLED screens will also eventually be possible, so that a window in your house could double as a TV screen.

I have heard the same myself. Will be getting one for x-mas to treat myself. Time to retire the pioneer Elite 65" it had a great life.:pimp

Here's a pic of the Samsung 46" Luxia 6000.

ditto!!!!!

Backlit is better however samsung says they compensate somehow. Up for everyone to decide if that is true however the one big advantage of samsungs sidelit is that the thing is no thicker than a notebook laptop practically

I've seen both, and I own the Samsung... and I don't think the LG looks anywhere near as good as the Samsung. The LG struck me as being merely average picture quality. Nothing special. :2 cents:

I am going to wait a few generations of LED and then pick one up!

The TRUE black is achieved not by displaying a TRUE black, but by actually dimming or turning off the entire black pixel as opposed to actually displaying a black color. If you haven't seen one with your own eyes, you just can't understand what a huge difference the blacks make in the contrast and display of the picture. It really is something else.

I agree, the Samsung looked way better to me, and both the shops I went by to check them out raved about the Sansung's technology over the LG. For a couple hundred more, I'd say the Samsung is absolutely the way to go...

I'm really interested in seeing the local-dimming 8500 model. $3599 is quite steep, though. We got ours for around $2400 and can't imagine being more satisfied with the picture quality.

The one thing I somewhat regret is not waiting for the price to drop, so we could pick up the 55" without breaking the bank. Now the 55" 6000 is $2570.

I think the bigger size would make a big difference.

SO CALLED "LED" TVS ARE STILL LCD TVS!!!

THEY ARE JUST BACK LIT WITH LED LIGHTS AND NOT FLORESCENT TUBES LIKE OLDER (ORDINARY) LCD TVS

TRUE (O)LED TECHNOLOGY HAS NOT TAKEN OFF IN LARGE TVS YET ITS TOO EXPENSIVE

STOP CALLING THEM LED TVS! FFS

Sony XEL-1 OLED

This is one of if not the ONLY OLED TV on the market and it's $2,499 for an 11"

Saw an LED TV playing transformers 2 it looked crazy.

It looked like a cross between a cartoon and a real image. It's very hard to explain but its fucking weird.

The post a few up was right and I think some people are confused as to what an LED/LCD TV is.

It's just backlit with LEDs, the LC pixels still shutter to stop light so it is not a true black.

An LED will give a richer color gamut, that is what you are seeing, they are also the latest generation LCD, so they are a bit better because of that as well. CFL is the shittiest form of light available and that has been in LCD TVs up until this point.

Who fucking cares what they want to call it? It's a big step up in quality, and even though they may already have better technology in the works. This is how the electronics industry rolls. Get excited about what's available, because it looks great. If you keep daydreaming about what's just around the corner when it comes to electronics you arenn't ever going to be satisfied.

yeah, it is a big step up in quality, but I just got my big lcd a year ago and I think I'll wait another year or two before getting a new big screen

Just bought a 65" Panasonic V10 plasma and love it.

I was replacing a Panasonic 58" we moved to the bedroom and I took a look at the 55" Samsung LEDs, but really didn't like how the colors were far too vibrant.

I've always had that issue with LCD TVs, everything just looks a little fake. Plasma's seem to just have a much warmer/real picture IMO

Here's a pic, not up to 30 posts yet ;-)

Nice looking installation. "Too vibrant" is what it looks like out of the box. I plugged in the color calibration figures found on Cnet.com and it looked much better after that. It has a very film like look now.

Cool, I guess even this TV set to Vivid or Store Demo is pretty crazy.

How are the viewing angles? Seems on older LCDs if you were a little bit off center, the picture was really hard to see.

The Samsung 8500 series is out of this world. I saw a 52 or 55 inch at Sears and was blown away by the quality of the image, just amazing. I think the price was around $2800.00 but then i saw the same TV on Amazon for way less delivered ? They also had a cosmetically damaged one for $1300 ( scratch on surrounding plastic case )
