1216170 2011-07-12 04:10:00 And do we prefer the LED over the LCD?

Must say I do like the thin LED's not that it matters.

1216171 2011-07-12 04:14:00 LED is better, 3 reasons. Lower power consumption, smaller physical footprint and better contrast because of the LED backlighting. The actual panels the manufacturers are using are pretty much identical though.

They are generally still quite a bit dearer though, but in another year or so that's all that will be around in the big stores.

Harvey Norman in Wellington yesterday had a 55" Sony LED TV for $2600. I couldn't fit it on the plane home though.... :crying

1216172 2011-07-12 04:15:00 LED = LCD + LED. There is no difference top the LCD viewing panel apart from the fact that it is backlit by LEDs johcar (6283)
1216173 2011-07-12 04:17:00 I hope that the UHF boxes come down in price, so i can get one for in my room. Even though my tv is crt and not HD, it would be far easier to plug a freeview box into my aerial input on the wall (it has UHF) than have to get it wired to the sky dish. goodiesguy (15316)

I think you will find the LED tv's are thinner than the LCD's.

Exactly what Johcar said. The panel is the same - the backlighting is different.

Neither of which have anything to do with the thickness of the case!
