[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 86637, member: 517"] Yip, I agree they are more eco friendly and have thinner dimensions but your observations regarding picture quality are incorrect. With and edge lit LED the black level cannot be any lower than that of a regular LCD, it's just not possible. Whether backlit by LEDs or CCFL tubes the panel remains the same and so does it's ability to block light. What you probably observed is the dynamic dimming of the LEDs depending on the scene brightness in order to improve your perception of the panel's black level. It's a trick that is detrimental to the picture quality. There are of course CCFL panels that employ the same trick as well but it has been Samsung's policy to implement undefeatable dynamic dimming on all their 2010 LED sets. As for the colour, if the LCD panels are the same, the colour is the same regardless of the backlight. Perhaps the LED might be somewhat brighter than it's CCFL counterpart but that really makes no difference as you should never view content that bright in the first place. It is innacurate in terms of picture quality as well as unhealthy and uncomfortable for your eyes. [/QUOTE]
