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...

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
