The next generation hardware (super-thin screens, 120Hz/240Hz, LED backlit) is ramping up and the current screens are going to be both plentiful and less desirable.
Or so I hear.
I saw an LED backlit screen yesterday, and the picture was amazing. If I go through the effort to replace my primary TV, I'm going to spend the money for it.
Samsung is also offering (or about to offer) an LED-backlit screen in which the brightness of individual LEDs is controlled to increase contrast. Unfortunately, it's about 50% more than a LED-backlit screen without the technology.
