We'll have to see what happens in reviews when the sets are calibrated but from factory defaults it is the same picture and you lose teh media 2.0 with the LED. It is crazy thin though which really is only for bragging rights and is 40% more energy efficient and does not contain mercury.

EDIT: Remember, it's EDGE-Lit LED, not true local dimming LED like the xbr8 and a950.

Those edge lit LED's are no where as impressive as the local dimming LED's. You can see what Sammy is trying to do though, by starting with the edge lit LED's (which have flash lighting problems big time) & saving the real good tech for their top of the line displays. But by introducing LED's in most of their set's, hopefully by the next year or two they will have a full range of local dimming LED LCD's for good prices. People are going to see "LED LCD" & think it's a local dimming model. Let the confusion begin....
