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

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This thread is turning into bizarro world. Most of the anti-Bryce crowd was heavily pro CJ Stroud so I am confused how that ties into any racial element.  Not saying we still don't have some of that crowd in here but it's not like the Prime Cam years where this place was rife with those types.  The anti-Bryce sentiment SEEMS to MOSTLY be rooted in his underwhelming physical stature/abilities and/or his underwhelming overall career to date. All this being amplified by the massive trade haul we gave away for him. So, technically we have missed the opportunity to draft Jaden Daniels AND passed on CJ Stroud. Fairly or not, Bryce hasn't measured up to those type of players at all.

      Because 2 coaches have not allowed him to do it.  And in a real Hail Mary scenario the throw is  further than the clip shown and likey doesn’t allow a clean setup. You can’t go over the top.  So you have to let WRs get downfield and the technical throw is going to be further and as you have to drop back to by time and likely won’t have an ideal setup.

      I can’t stand silent any longer.. He has s sickness.  It will defy any logic people try to bring.  He tried to deny us the freedom of having a negative opinion of a player simply by the color of our skin. Yet we have positive opinions of many black players  Love some of them   I guess they must be house *you know the word* if we like them   I bring it to this: let’s say you are black. are there black people that you don’t like? I brt there are.  But no white people are allowed to dislike them? Because they are maybe shitty people of shitty players or there is just something about them you don’t line. We have to drop this way of thinking.
