What is the better choice between LED and LCD HDTV's?

Q. I am in the first stage of buying a new flat screen TV and I need a reliable source on which is better. I have seen some that include both LED-LCD in their description. What does this mean?. Please enlighten me! The universe will reward you further if you could include a link to a good 32" to 42" TV. Thanks!!

A. Both LED and LCD are LCD tvs. Different backlights. LED are the newer tech and are still having new tech issues. Clouding, flashlighting at the corners of the screen and other screen anomolies.

If you want 3D you have to get an LED. LEDs have the newest internal tech also. LCD are being shifted to the lower line tvs but they have fewer problems. If you want the latest and greatest you should get LED. If you are OK with older tech but fewer issues, you should go with LCD.

Go with a Samsung or Sony tv. The universe should be satisfied with that as they both are coming out with new models as we speak, so links are not available if you want the newest 2012 models.


I heard that 3D TVs are going to be 700 pounds what would be the smallest size because I have a 19 inch tv?
Q. also will it be full hd?

A. There will be two things that come out. First there will be 3D HDTVs which have all the 3D components built in. You buy the TV and you buy the glasses and you're good to go. However, there is also going to be 3D components you can put onto some current HDTVs to kind of retro-fit them into 3D TVs. Basically its just the guts of a 3D HDTV made into an external add-on.

Pricing on any of this stuff is still unknown. It was announced this January, but has yet not hit online catalogues, so pricing is not there. Many nerd sites expect 3D sets to become the most expensive option for each respective manufacturer. So I think you're looking more likely at 1500-2000 quid fairly easily.

I agree with the other post, that because of the nature of the feature, its not too likely to be offered in traditional TVs in smaller sizes. I think 32" they might consider it, but it could be as large as 40" as the minimum to go 3D in a TV set. Now, computer monitors (which you can sometimes just use as a TV really), could provide smaller 3D options. I think 22-24" sets with 3D should be fairly easy to get ahold of (even now). But those are computer monitors, not TVs. Here's a list with quite a few of those, http://www.3dmovielist.com/3dhdtvs.html

While that list does have HDTVs on it, it hasn't been updated to reflect the announcements at this year's CES in Vegas. Many new HDTVs, 3D HDTVs included, were announced. Look to March and June as the two launch cycles this year. You'll likely see sets released and priced at one of those release dates.

3D is just some extra hardware inside the TV. So it will be available in both 720p and 1080p most likely. 720p sets might not "maximize" its potential, but because they would cost less, I would imagine Sony will release 720p 3D to try and further its 3D goals (it hopes to lead the industry in 3D sets and hopes to make 3D sets account for at least 30-50% of its sales by 2012, so that means they'll want to offer cheaper 3D sets).


What is the best HDTV of 2012 so far?
Q. Please clarify in each HDTV's respective category.

-Plasma TV
-LED TV
-LCD TV
-Smart TV
-TVs to come
-Best Design for a TV (Panel type is irrelevant)

Please provide detailed explanations.

A. I bought my LG 47 inch cinema 3D smart TV some weeks back. For me, I was considering attributes like price, design, picture quality and accurate colour to give the best credit for my TV. I guess other people may have a different opinion and may select a tv that may be different from mind but I prefer passive sets period.
