Samsung LED TV

LED backlighting is the current rage in LCD TV development. See our article titled LED TV vs. LCD TV here. While most still refer to these as LCD televisions due to the panel still being an LCD panel, Samsung has made the choice to call their LED backlit LCDs "LED TVs". The LED backlighting should make colors more realistic and provide better blacks than conventional LCDs but motion blur will still be an issue as it is a limitation of the LCD technology. For a full breakdown see our our article titled LED TV Pros and Cons here.

We are looking forward to reviewing one of these new LED TVs as soon as we can and see how it fares compared to standard CFL lit LCDs. It will also be interesting to see if consumers begin to call these items LED TVs or if they will continue to refer to them as LCDs.
