dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) Differentiating LED from LCDEither way, manufacturers - and that certainly includes Samsung - are marketing the new technology simply as 'LED' without pointing-out that it's simply an update to existing LCD panels. "For Samsung it is important that LED is differentiated from LCD," said the spokesperson. "Whilst the key part of the technology (the panel) is the same, the backlight is obviously entirely different and manifests a greatly superior picture when compared to CCFL-backlit LCDs. "Samsung invests a vast amount of engineering and R&D into LED technology, which is why it is treated as a premium product above LCD - and why they are positioned separately." Henderson at Philips thinks the industry should be completely clear about what an 'LED TV' really is. "As an industry we need to take ensure that the benefits are clearly explained and communicated, particularly at point of sale," he says. "Consumers need to understand that the benefit of LED applies to LCD TVs."Manufacturers love LED tech because it commands a premium; the sale of flatpanel TVs has long been a commodity market with tiny - and shrinking - profit margins and prices; analysts at DisplaySearch report that the average worldwide price of a LCD TV have fallen by 24 per cent since 2008. Cheap LED TVs LED-backlit LCD TVs premium prices are quickly shrinking. "LED panel prices are falling even faster than CCFL," says David Hsieh, Large-Area LCD Research Team Leader at DisplaySearch. "Panel makers are expecting to grow their shipments through the end of the year as LED panel prices and end-market retailer prices of LED LCD TVs fall rapidly." With LED prices crashing, there doesn't seem much point buying a traditional LCD TV without LED backlighting of some kind, but which type should you head for - Edge or Direct? Henderson sums it up nicely for us, saying: "If you want an exceptionally slim TV with excellent picture quality, contrast and power consumption, then buy a LED Edge lit set. If you want a slim TV with exceptional all-round performance, go for a direct, local dimming set."

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted November 12, 2010 Dhirajbhai just recently bought an LCD and not LED. Saved good amount of money due to the smart buyer he is. See here http://www.rimweb.in...post__p__204328 Good sound info you shared. I had been a tech freak for so many years and bought everything latest (and supposed to be the best) at earth-shattering prices. I can hardly believe today that i bought a 20Gb 5" Hard Disk for Rs 20,000 or the first multimedia kit from Creative containing a 4x CD-Rom, Sound Card at Rs 16,000. Energy of the youth i suppose. (Though don't consider me old at all, Grey Hairs of earthy wisdom after all this years). It does not make any sense to blow hard earned money behind maturing non mass market technologies and feel the pockets of manufacturers. Current 3D TVs are another example. Happy that many people got the correct idea to make a rational judgement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually it is just hype created by media .You could have saved 40000 and better donated to Vivekanand Foundation for educational or hospital fund Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted November 13, 2010 Â While I am not in disagreement about what you have suggested, let us also look at the other side too - people who buy latest products are also financing development of these new cutting edge (at that time) technologies. If nobody bought the stuff at that (premium) stage, how would products reach the mass market/mainstream stage, which is when they get cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sgiitk 32 Report post Posted April 21, 2011 Good post Rajan. Let me add a few points - I am all for the LED technology, since it saves quite a bit of power. Even the screen does not get as hot. In this regard the full matrix ones may be even better. White LEDs are deficient in certain colours, so the colour rendering may not be that good. You are creating a white back lighting and then blocking out some light to deliver the image. I have a somewhat old (1996) 32" LCD TV, and new LED laptop (you will never get 8+ hours otherwise).

mgdelhi 192 Report post Posted April 22, 2011 On behalf of Dhiraj (as he share some info) Grey Market LCDs/LEDs/Plasmas available in Gaffar Market (Karol Bagh), Delhi at very tempting price. They do not provide bill and warranty, if you know the seller and have good rapport with him, he can give you testing warranty for 2-3 days to one week.

Userinterface of Sony is better. Samsung's remote is crappy looking like local chinise remote.... But who cares when you have Tata sky. But overall not bad when compared.. price tag n looks of samsung is better. So I picked samsung. Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
