Makes perfect sense to me. Doesn't take long to read your posts, and that's the problem - it takes more than a quick sentence 'LEDs are BETTER!' to explain the differences between the TVs, and you don't want to take the time to do that. That's OK, but you'd be better not posting at all with poor advice.

Poor advice? I have no clue what you are now talking about. Again, my opinion is that LED has the best picture. And, in my opinion, generally people on the street prefer the picture quality of LED. You keep referring to some fact that a 2012 LED is better quality than a 2008 LCD whereas I clearly said above my opinion was that from the latest models of TV's at the time I bought mine, mine had the best quality picture in my opinion.

An RGB LED *BACKLIT* LCD will give an awesome picture, with proper local dimming an option meaning excellent blacks. Sony did one a few years back, it was expensive though so few people bought it.

Next up, a White LED BACKLIT LCD, like the Sharp ones in about 2009/10 iirc will again give a nice picture, and local dimming can still give nice black levels.

Other LED LCDs are mostly edge lit, NOT backlit. This includes almost all of them that you can buy today. You can tell them apart easily as they are really thin, but consumers want thin more than they want picture quality.

Because of how edge lighting works, local dimming isn't much of an option. They are not really any better than CCFL LCDs, but thinner.

CCFL LCDs are as thick as backlit LED LCDs but don't get to use local dimming effectively (you have to dim an entire tube, which runs across the whole tv.

CCFLs also lose brightness like Plasmas do.

I have a pair of LE40C750 CCFL backlit 3d Samsungs. I only use them as monitors but I got them extremely cheap (£200 each) as I worked for Comet at the time.

I don't really feel an edge lit LED LCD would give me any benefit, it would just cost more. I'd like an RGB LED backlit LCD, but these are like hens teeth.

See, johhnyboyrebel, my point is that you missed ' in my opinion' out in your post #22. I've got absolutely no problem with your opinion.
I don't 'keep referring' to 2008 TVs, I made that point before you let us know that you were comparing all current models, after which I dropped it!

Its a forum, everything anyone says is clearly just an opinion. Bored now, sure you are too. Quits
