LEDS

They got'm on the Holiday Trees...

Think of the energy that can be saved!

Maybe I should get a conversion kit for my GE, Tool Tree?

What kind of LED are you looking for? LED Christmas lights? LED flashlights? LED televisions? LED accent lighting? LED home light bulbs?

Oh, this is for LED televisions. Yes, they're available.

LED Televisions are currently on the market, from name brands like the number 1 Television in the world Samsung. The 6000,7000, and 8000 series Samsung LED TV's are low profile and look absolutley amazing. With motion flow 120hz you cant go wrong with watching any kind of sports in hyper real non blury images. Its almost as if you were looking through a window into a different world of reality, these TV's are that amazing! Considering the backlight of the TV is consisted of a FULL ARRAY of LEDS, the processor inside the tv allows for local dimming on the led backlight panel, allowing the tv to dim the LED panel at any point of the screen to bring to life colors and darker blacks. Did I mention this TV is 1.2 inches thick? I could go on forever about how awesome this tv is, but until you go to a local Sears and check out exactly what im tlaking about, then youll know what Im tlaking about. Go to Sears and check this tv out!!!!

And, check out the LED flashlights!

Just don't use that "see for yourself" feature on some of the packages.

That little light is POWERFUL and you'll go temporarily BLIND if you're looking into the flashlight, when the test switch is pressed.

Samsung LED TV's only use edege LED backlighting, NOT full array LED backlighting like Sharp,LG,Sony, and Toshiba do.This is why the Samsung models are so thin, but their viewing angles and overal image is not up to par with the LED pictures of the Sharp, LG and Sony LED entries.I reccommend the Sharp LED tvs myself price vs. performance.The use FULL ARRAY LED backlighting and the picture on their LED models are equaled only by the higher end Sony and LG LEDS, and are vastly superor to most of the Samsng LED models.

The Sharp LED is the best LED Sears carry right now.

I'm kind of surprised to hear that the Samsung LEDs get such unfavorable comments considering the ratings that they get on Consumer Reports.  I know that the makers of light emitting diodes have a difficult time controling the intensity of each batch that they make.  It would seem that direct backlighting would be difficult to control the "hot spots" of variable intensities.  With the edgelighting and piping the light using fiber optics, the lighting would seem to be more consistant.  So I guess I would have to ask why is FULL ARRAY LED better? 

I would like to comment on why the local dimming and full array LED TV's are far superior to the edge lit models that Samsung currently has on the market. We have had two previous Samsung models-(LN-S 4695 and a LN52A650 model). The 4695 was an excellent set but the LN52A had major problems. I am saying this so that folks will not think I am against Samsung in any way. The local dimming is better because the total number of LED's is approximately 1575 on full array compared to only 400 on edge lit models. In addition, the edge lit models suffer from uniformity problems and if you view their picture in a dark scene in a dark room you will notice substantial difference in the light levels between the center of the screen and the edges. Even though CNET gave the Samsung good marks they did mark them down substantially on the problems that I mentioned previously. We have just purchased the LG LH90 full array LED model and could not be happier with our purchase. We have read the consumer reports also and wish to point out that the 55 inch version of the LG LH 90 had the highest rating in that category. Hope this information helps.

I've only seen a few LED televisions on diplay but I'm not impressed at all with there picture quality. Plasma all the way for me please.

Yes, plasma by far is the best in my opinion...The samsung LEDs get such a bad wrap because of the "shadowing" effect from the top boarder of the tv. This is because the samsung's model only has edge-lit technology(and only on the sides and bottom). If the image is super dark/bright you get a dark or light shadow at the top. Other than that the picture is pretty amazing to say the least. Interested in seeing this sharp led, because I know their lcd's look like junk; too washed out with the colors

I'd like to know if is true that a Sharp led tv is not compatible with ps3 game....

Today is thanksgivin day and I'm about to by a LED tv and I heard a lot good things about Sharp LED tv but I sttil want to know if is true that sharp tv is not compatble with a sharp brand...

You can't really rely on consumer reports to give you future concerns with your tv. My sharp 56dr650 dlp has been a nightmare and it was rated a #1 best buy on most consumer periodicals. You really need to check out some blogs on customer service after the sale and Samsung, visio and LG get some of the best reviews where as Sony, pioneer and especially sharp get some of the worst. For instance, I can not buy a color wheel ($150. from samsung) for my 56" dlp without having to purchace the whole light engine for $1200.00 from sharp. I am going to wait to see how this new technology works itself out.

If you purchase anything from Sharp you better hope nothing goes wrong with it.

Actually Sharp and Sony currently have the lowest failure rates on the market. While some people may or may not like the customer service the two companies offer they do make the most reliable LCD sets on the market right now. If you dont want to deal with their customer service purchase a protection agreement with the item and then you will deal with Sears.

Also never buy a DLP or Rear Projection, they are high maintenance and are total repair nightmares. Its not a technology worth throwing a penny into.

Also dont buy based on consumer reports, they try to be helpful but really ~ their representation categories are horrid.

Sharp tvs are compatible with the Sony PS3 ~ there is no reason why it wouldnt be.

actually this isn't completely true.  Samsung makes both edge lit and back lit LED LCD tvs.  the Edge lit is the only way to make them so thin.

personally i like back lit LED LCD better.  but LED still isn't perfect.  plus they are going to keep getting better and come out with affordable OLED tvs some time in the next few years.

i say save your money and go with conventional LCD rather than the LED LCD.

then when the technology is better upgrade.

edge lit isnt the reason why the tvs are so thin. Anyways Samsung does make a backlit LED it is the 8500 model.
