I’ve been hearing and seeing a lot about these new LED TV models from Samsung. They are advertising them as entirely new type of TV that changes everything. After some checking round what is this new technology is I found out that it is nothing spectacular new in it. Samsung’s so-called “LED TV” is pretty much like a normal LCD TV. The only difference is that the backlights technology has been changed from CCFL to LED.
Samsung is trying to promote this LED backlighting technology as an entirely new category of TV, which is a little misleading I think. It is true that LED backlight technology has some benefits (potential to consume less electricity) and potential for future enhancements (local dimming can give really nice contrast and black levels if used on some future models). And the idea to use LED for LCD technology display backlight is nothing new and it has been used earlier by many companies on many other types of LCD displays.

Nice post. Thanks for sharing these tips.
The really new LED based TV technology is expected to be OLED.
In this technology the whole display consists of tiny LEDs that generate the light for each pixel (no backlight needed like in LCD).
The OLED technology has already come into use on cellular phone and digital camera displays, but there has been some problems in reliably manufacturing large OLED display panels.
Sony has already some TVs using this technology. According to news LG and Samsung are trying to get their OLED TVs to shops before Christmas.
The benefits of OLED displays include low power consumption, very good contrast and very thin display panel.
Good synopsis but one correction: back-lit LED TVs with local dimming are already available from Samsung, Sony and LG with models coming soon from VIZIO and Toshiba. The performance of these approach plasmas in black level reproduction but are still pretty expensive.
Your post Samsung LED TV is not an entirely new category of TV « Tomi Engdahl’s ePanorama blog was very interesting when I found it over google on Saturday by my search for tv lcd samsung. I have your blog now in my bookmarks and I visit your blog again, soon. Take care. Parejaspareja.es
Thank you for your update that back-lit LED TVs with local dimming are already available from several manufacturers.
Technology is advancing all the time.
I am still waiting to see when the large OLED TVs become available and is OLED technology as good as claimed.
I think I will try to recommend this post to my friends and family, cuz it’s really helpful.
Nice post. “Full” LED televisions are still a little way off, and will cost a lot when they’re first available.
Interesting tactic by Samsung. What they’re claiming isn’t actually incorrect, just a little misleading. Either way, it’s managed to generate a lot of publicity surrounding their new TV range. That’s good marketing for you I guess.
Just looking forward to getting my first laser TV, when they arrive!

Ola galera, gostaria que alguém me ajudasse, eu adquiri o pacote de canais (TV no PC via Internet) da http://www.tvacaboparatodos.net os canais que mais assisto são FOX, AXN, TNT e Warner Channel, o meu problema é que eu assisto os canais no trabalho, e a maioria dos canais só funcionam em ela cheia, gostaria de saber se teria um modo de colocar os canais para ficarem em uma tela pequena no canto para que possa assistir e trabalhar no PC ao mesmo tempo? (Me ajudem, por favor, pois quase fui pego por meu supervisor assistindo TV no PC em plano horário de expediente)

Nice website. Great read.-By the way, if you get a moment, check out my Free Electricity Website – http://bit.ly/99AA3g
According those web document and my common sense the Magniwork plan page you are linking to is a SCAM.
http://blog.mapawatt.com/2009/07/21/magniwork_perpetual_motion_scam/
Update -7/27/09 – I’ve confirmed with my own eyes that Magniwork is a SCAM! One of the readers was kind enough to share the Magniwork plans with me and they are laughable. The whole “document” is 57 pages long and looks like something a kid in high school put together.
Basically the plans tell you how to make a mini-electrical generator, but they dont even tell you how you are supposed to turn the thing to produce energy!
http://www.off-grid.net/2009/10/08/magniwork-energy-internet-scam/
Alternative energy expert Sterling D. Allan founder of The New Energy Congress has examined Magniwork’s claims. “Most of the 50+ page manual contains energy conservation tips that are based on well-established principles,” he said. But he points out that plans for the device are freely available elsewhere, they are based on other people’s work and he claims to have tried to contact people offering testimonials, without success. “The wording on their site still gives the reader the idea that the plans will result in a working free energy device but that is not the case. Such representation is fraud,” he concluded.
I have not made my mind on your Forex Megadroid link is that good or SCAM, but I would be very cautious on that also. Use your own judgement.
There has been scams on forex markets already.

When considering the question “is Forex a scam” the first thing that comes to my mind is the old saying “Never invest in anything that you don’t understand.” Follow this advice and you are unlikely to fall victim to scams. Another saying worth consideration: “If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” A third thing to remember is that you should know your risk tolerance and investment goals.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forex_scam
A forex (or foreign exchange) scam is any trading scheme used to defraud traders by convincing them that they can expect to gain a high profit by trading in the foreign exchange market. Currency trading “has become the fraud du jour” as of early 2008, according to Michael Dunn of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.[1] But “the market has long been plagued by swindlers preying on the gullible,” according to the New York Times.[2] “The average individual foreign-exchange-trading victim loses about $15,000, according to CFTC records” according to The Wall Street Journal.[3] The North American Securities Administrators Association says that “off-exchange forex trading by retail investors is at best extremely risky, and at worst, outright fraud.”[4]
