Samsung LEDs are really great performance wise but i would always prefer LCD because they are affordable and paying so much more or similar technology doesn’t makes any sense. There is obviously difference in quality but Samsung should really improve thier reviews to have a better sales.

It really doesnt matter either way as long as you like what you are getting for the price. I myself would not pay that much extra for the LED, but out of all the LCD TVS I looked at it was by far the clearest picture available just not worth the price they are asking for this new technology.

Who really cares. I just purchased a 46′ Samsung 7100 series “LED” TV. Best Buy sales person told us it was only back lit by LED, and that it still had the LCD front panel.

Hey, I had just put our old 32″ tube out to pasture.

Did look at an LG brand 46′ with the mat finish screen, just couldn’t get the thrill of the picture that the Samsung 46″ gave us.

As a consumer I did read all of the above comments on your web site & was really informed, Thank You….

But on the final call, I really love the TV in Question & I really don’t care about the purity of the (all LED screen) or just back lighting. What a picture any way at a very resonable price.
Just $1883.00.

Thanks for your good people (experts) writing in.

If store sales people do not educate themselves, like on this forum, they should not totally believe everything a manufacturer sales rep tells them, as most of their info is scripted.
Do research first, then challenge the factory rep. An educated consumer will tear those box store sales reps apart…remember DiamondVision

Poorly educated salespeople.

This is simply a marketing ploy to try and differentiate their LED lit LCDs. Perhaps to be fair, they should start referring to their cheaper LCD TVs as their ‘CCFL line’.

What drives me crazy is not the label “LED TV”, it’s the massive price jump for a technology that isn’t a significant extra cost for the manufacturer. LED backlights haven’t caused a massive spike in the price of laptops that are so-equipped (Apple MacBook for example), so why must this be the case with TVs?

Samsung - LED TV’s as advertised on Televisions are LED - backlit and not OLED, wonder why Samsung is not coming out clear about it.

My LCD has a Blue LED light on the front of it. Can I now say it is an LED TV because it “TECHNICALLY” has LED in it??? LCD is LCD - let’s call it what it is!
