LEDs are LCD tvs that are lit by LED lights instead of a single bulb.

The biggest difference is that LCDs are bright in the middle of the screen. LEDs are either edge lit (darker in the middle) or fully lit (uniformly lit for even bright/dark)

again, LED tvs are LCD tvs lit with a different form of backlight

MrBelding is 100% correct. It is the same technology displaying the image, as opposed to plasma or the recently deceased DLP TVs. The light engine is different, that is all. The LED is more power efficient but usually runs hotter(???)....

 

You want your HDTV to look better? Spend $20 on this, its almost a calibration. I am ISF certified, this will get you pretty damn close to a true calibration at a fraction of the cost. You image will be better after you run this DVD and make the recommended adjustments....

When I was in the market for led TVs last year the samsungs looked brighter than the LGs. LG is a good brand, but for some reason even their LED TVs look like LCD TVs next to a Samsung. Samsung is just better at making them.

I wouldn't go by how they look in a brightly lit store.

Manufacturers know some models will be on display so all TVs come from factory calibrated to look good on display. Watching at home on those settings makes most people nauseous.

This is true..TVs are sent from the factory with the Contrast jacked all the way up so it will "look good" on a showroom floor with all them big fluorescents above. Buy simply turning it down to about 65% your image will get much better. Contrast is the white level while Brightness is black level in the image. Getting these 2 settings correct help immensely as the greyscale affects all other colors...

 

 

I still have my 40" Samsung I bought in 2008....love it. 

 

Explain what you've got going to your tv (receivers, etc)

 

I have a DirecTV HD DVR, a Samsung BDP and a Toshiba HD DVD player all connected via HDMI to my Samsung 55in plasma....

Heres something about LG, its not 'Life's Good', its 'Lucky Goldstar'. Remember Goldstar TVs? POS TVs, not a fan....

So how does this DVD work?  Will it give me an online version as I have no DVD players anymore now that they are basically obsolete.  My TV looks great for day games but night games look like complete sh*t.

It basically gives you 3 different pictures and oh adjust your picture settings according to their instruction.

Brightness: picture of close up of man in black shirt w/blk jacket, 3 blacks-shirt, jacket & lapel, adjust to see all 3

Contrast: picture of 2 people in white shirts, adjust so you can see the wrinkles in shirts, corrects 'blooming'

Color: pic of 3 women, 1 made up too much, 1 pasty & 1 normal(?), adjust your color levels to suit

Takes about 30mins & knowing how to operate your TV...

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Im very similar to Ron in being a company/league man. But that ends after the third head hit, I would have lost my religion. Then after I got kicked out of the game, Id 100% be dropping nukes in the after-game presser. fug you fine me whatever, I am going to protect my QB and since logic and reason isn't being used, I can be the bad guy.  The replays showed clear evidence, Id feel no shame in cussing out a crew of chicken poo refs. In fact Id tell the video staff to play infractions on a split screen during my press conference.

      And even worse you have injuries force you to play anther one dimensional train wreck combine that with Orlov being no were close to as advertised and boom you have 3 defensemen being dressed who couldn't defend my 96 year old grandmother. That said next year having Slavin,Miller,Nikishin,Chatfield gives you the best shutdown d man in the league two large athletic HIGH offensive potential D who can take away time and space....   The more I think about it the more I like this seasons approach, if you bring back burns or aquire anther large RHS with length you have 5 D all over 6'2 and 210 with three of them having great offense too, make no mistake they want size and skill on the blue line now and its almost 100% directed at getting past FL.

      Honestly the 2024 draft class(minus brooks). All are in line to be starters, expect crumedy who's fighting for a 53.  Still that class was looking terrible, is now looking like 4 starters and maybe 1 depth. Anytime you draft 2 starters and a key depth piece its a good draft. 4 starters are rare and that's with brooks who could have made 5 starters if not for awful luck.  That draft also helped land starter Michael Jackson in a round about way, big bonus..
