3d is totally gay. i just bought a 32" panasonic viera last night. i wanted to pony up for the led, but wasn't worth it for the room i'm putting it in.

i put a lot of stock in user reviews on amazon.

samsung.
the one i just got has 4 USB ports, 4 hdmi, VGA, ethernet, ...

im pretty sure they are slapping 3D software on every tv 120hz or better.


the samsung aps is nice.
hulu and netflix at the touch of a button on the remote.
not only that, but pms recognises the tv as a usable decoder.
it also displays win7 folders that are opened on the network.
i almost dont even need my ps3 anymore.


oh, and, LED is LCD.
they refer to the backlight when they call the TVs LED, not the display screen.
its kind of false advertising but its really just a symantecs ploy

Yet there is a consistent difference between LCD and LED so it doesn't really pay to continue your douchebag crusade for labeling the TVs "properly."

Actually the picture looks different on the LCDs and LEDs on the display walls. You can tell when they are next to each other. LED uses less power according to the energy star compliance stsickers on them, and they do not get as hot which means less chance of burn-in. I know they are LCDs but saying they are the same is like saying a wolf is just like a dog.

And thanks Altara, took the words right out of my mouth.

"LEDs" use less power and dont get as hot because they dont have bulbs.
LEDs use less power and dont get as hot is like saying the sun is bright and hot.

remove bot bright bulb and replace it with LED.
its like saying a pitbull isnt a terrier
