LED T.V's the wave of the future?

[Canada]

LED TV's may very well be the wave of the future and may replace LCD tv's. Every TV out right now seems to be a LCD but there have always been two problems with them motion blur and a less than ideal black level. There is an artical that can explain the benifits of LED TV's better than I ever can.

I thought OLED is supposed to replace LCDs?

and they are very expensive and still do not provide as good a picture quality as plasma. Doesn't matter what you do with LCD in the near future... it will have motion blurr. As for contrast ratio... maybe they will do ok. Plasma sets coming out this spring have 1,000,000:1 dynamic contrast. Plasma is making big improvements. Then OLED will be popular down the road perhaps... or perhaps a form of SED or NED or who knows what technology will be popular. Might even be nothing we've heard of yet. The disadvantage of LED is that it is also more expensive to manufacture... requiring a transistor per pixel... it's not passive like some display technologies... therefore large sizes are more difficult to make

organic light emitting diode? i think samsung has an 11 inch out....cost 2800 lol... its a very thin display...seen an article...sony just put up millions to do research on OLED's

Sony is the one that actually released OLED tv, I believe it was 11 ince for around 1,700.

I have no doubts OLED will be the TV of the future. My only worry is when?
OLED basically combines the good qualities of both plasmas and LCDs without the negatives.

It has pure blacks of plasmas, is thinner and uses less power than even LCD.

Sony has released one model, but they are having problems with getting larger screens in mass production. My guess is we will see 40 sizes within 4-6 years, and we will see 50" sizes around the price of todays LCD's within 6-8 years.

Good.

I Do plan to keep my newly purchased TV for 8-10 years.

So, by that time, OLED could be my next purchase!

It was $2499 at the Sony Style Store here in Denver. The PQ was stunning; but the size, at 11 inches, was quite small. One store clerk told me that they've heard that a 37-inch version may be coming out at the end of this year. 'Course, I'll believe it when I see it. And the price might be astronomical.

yeah 40'' and up b4 we will get one + it cant be more than 15 I really hope they get one out b4 the end fo the year

Supposedly the manufacturing process for OLEDs is inherently more simple than LCDs, so it should end up costing less to produce them. Of course that's once mass production techniques are created, tested, and then ramped up to industrial levels. Until then (2-4 years?) I'd expect to pay a premium for OLEDs (especially since they have superior PQ, which makes them a "premium" TV by default).

so if the 11in is $2500 then the 37 will be around 8K. Reminds me back when the Plasmas came out

When you say "LED", do you mean OLED? If not you are confused like all the other posters who, about once a week, post something about "LED" tvs. Samsung "LED" tvs, for instance, are LCD tvs. Let me repeat. Samsung, Vizio, and Sony "LED" tvs are LCD. They are using LEDs to backlight the LCDs because LCDs DO NOT produce light, just color.

Right now today which tv should people buy for watching movies and playing games in a dark room, Plasma, LED or LCD?

I've had my Samsung LED DLP now, coming up to 3 years in July and the picture is like day 1. This is not OLED or LCD it is LED DLP, I purchased it to replace an Epson PJ as I was replacing bulbs every 2 years (2000-3000 hrs) and LED technology is estimated to have a life exceeding 30,000 hrs possibly 100,000 hrs. I have not had any regrets with this purchase as the set is often on 48-60 hrs at a time on the weekends. I have seen many Plasmas and LCDs and while the Plasma is impressive my DLP is equally so and is more efficient. For LCD there is no comparison the picture is better by far than any LCD I've seen.

If I were to purchase another set today in the $3000 range I would purchase another LED DLP to fit the entertainment center or a Plasma if I needed it to be mounted on a wall

[Rebel6666]

I don't think stores and compagnies still sell DLP or Led DLP. The last time I saw one of the (LED DLP) was two years ago it was a 57 inches made by Samsung If I'm not mistaking. Never saw a DLP ever after that

My sister's husband bought a 60 " RCA DLP and had to replace the bulb with a week. I think since they have had to put 2 more in it.It now has a dark streak up the right side.

How are the black levels compared to plasma?I myself hate having to replace bulbs...they get expensive and can go out any time..I will stick with my plasma.

Black levels are perfect - I never have to change the bulbs it's LED - the reason I got rid of the projector was changing the bulbs at $300 - 350 a pop

ok, this is a biased comment, but your question leads to a biased answer. I still believe that Plasma is a great dark room television for games and movies.

However, I personally like the looks that Samsungs LED tvs produce on movies (from the dejudder and automotion plus), so i recently bought a UN46B8500 which is a LED with the backlights rather than the side lighting.

OK but is it true that LED as only a 30 000 hours lifespan and Plasmas I know they have 100 000 hours
