An LED TV does not use LEDs for the pixels, that part is still LCD. LEDs are used for the light source instead of the older fluorescent tubes. And while the first implementations may be somewhat lacking, it is the future.
Well, at least until they get LEDs to provide the pixels.
Thanks for the lesson in LED/LCD. I realize now the light source of the LED is what causes the different “look.”
Regardless, I definitely do not like it. Makes me want to buy several non-LED TV’s while they are still available.
