This may be national? It was also in SoCal ads.

Forgive my lack of knowledge, but isn't there a difference between LED "backlight" displays and actual LED displays/TV's?
Click to expand...

LED tvs use LEDs at the light source instead of CCFL thats the only difference.

most displays are actaully edge lit, with the CCFL or led element on the edge, which gets distributed by a special reflective system.


This monitor is probably edgelit, i know the vizio one is, and the samsung LED tvs outside of the insanely expensve 8500 series are edge.

Now backlit displays are bettert han edgelit, but they are hard to find. backlit LED LCD monitors cost like $1500-2000 and all have IPS matrix I believe right now.

theres a few tvs with that type of lighting as well that are actually pretty inexpensive (I have one, a sharp ...). the 55" vizio led tv is like this too..., its just more uniform as the light isn't coming from an edge or have to go through a layer to distribute it though the monitor/tv will not be as thin and thus less cool looking, to people who like to stare at their tvs from the side.
