Does this TV which is on sale have an LED screen or not, or is your

There's a difference between lying and being misinformed or out of date..

Rod.

And IanT is obviously a liar.

Oh he's FAR more than that.......

Well amazon.co.uk claim that their seller Let's GO Digital has one in

Obviously. But what about the context of this discussion...




well... it's LED backlighting vs LED screens - the contention was that no
led screens were on sale to the public, some wag pointed out that one really
small, really expensive one is.

Hmm. That's an OLED screen, which I thought was a different technology

Yes but an Organic LED is still an LED, and what is described in sales
speak as an LED TV is in fact an LCD screen with LED backlighting.

Since IanT was clearly complaining that LCD screens with LED backlighting
are not LED screens, and referred to "true LED", he could only have been
referring to OLED.

For a full comparison of all the different generic types of screen
technologies -- Laser, LCD, SED, FED, LED, OLED -- please see

but please be warned that this site is not suitable for the linguistically
challenged.

But you should enjoy the color diagrams nonetheless.

My understanding that the best of these technologies for picture quality
is that of the Laser TV.

I thought it had a small, white on black LED display, not OLED.

I didn't say it was large or colour, the manual says it's OLED

The white on black is distinctive, and very easy to read

I think there is a point which we're not discussing, here

There are, in fact, three distinctly different technologies, all of which
are talked about as 'LED TV'.

The simplest merely replaces the usual backlight with LEDs, which provide
lower energy consumption.

The next type use an array of backlight LEDs across the entire screen.
These LEDs are individually modulated so that dark, or black, areas of
picture receive little or no backlighting, thus giving a greatly improved
contrast ratio. (Backlight leakage is still a real problem on my brand new
46" Sony).

The third type uses OLEDs to emit the picture directly, with no backlight.

The first two are both marketed as 'LED TVs', and yet there is a big
difference in their performance. The marketing people haven't got their
heads around this, yet, and neither, it seems, have the public. Perhaps
it's regarded as too 'technical' for the commoners?

The third type isn't really in the picture yet, due to their scarcity and
colossal cost. I feel sure they'll be marketed very carefully to
distinguish them: I bet they always call them 'OLED' rather than 'LED'.

But the confusion between the first two is very disappointing.
