| Talk to me about .... Flat screen TV's. I bought a Sony or Sanyo (can't remember which) 60" plasma. Picture sux. My old 65" projection had a better pic. HH gregg said bring it back and I can upgrade. I want to stay with 60". I know to go with 1080P. I know 240hZ is better than 120hZ. Tell me about LCD vs LED. Which is better? Tell me about "smart" TV's. TIA  Here's some that I am looking at. http://www.hhgregg.com/lg-60-class-1.../item/60LS5700 http://www.hhgregg.com/sharp-60-full...tem/LC60LE640U http://www.hhgregg.com/sony-60-1080p...tem/KDL60EX645 http://www.hhgregg.com/lg-60-class-1.../item/60LS5700

My husband says LED is better... I can't even tell the difference between regular and high-definition so I just listen to everyone else and agree that the picture is spectacular. :whydidwespend2000dollarsonthisTV:

| "smart" TVs are equipped with wifi and can access the internet. Usually restricted to apps for things like Netflix and Pandora

| We had really bad luck with our plasma. So this time we went with a Samsung LED that came with great reviews. The salesman at Sears was very convincing about it as well. The picture WAS awesome. Well now the right side of the screen is darker than the left side. We've only had it about 2 years. I don't recommend Samsung. |

| Bring it back? So they can claim you damaged it during the return? Forget that! They can come back and get it!

| I was told that Plasma's require low light areas(bedrooms/downstairs) I'm in the market for a upgrade as well(I'm waiting until after Christmas though to get the sale)....everything that I've read says that LED is the same as LCD here: LED vs. LCD TV: Which is better? [update] - Feature - TVs - CNET Asia oh...the guy at Best Buy said that the Hz is the refresh rate and that most television stations are not up to the 240Hz yet....if you get on with a refresh rate that high, you "will be ahead of the stations and ready when they upgrade". (I sound like a techy now  )

This pic is just not as sharp and crisp as I expected.

| What LED brings to the table is "local dimming" and lifespan. Local dimming refers to being able to darken the backlighting of areas of the screen where things are dark. Non-LEDs are backlit or edgelit with big bulbs. but you have to get the right kind to get the most out of the effect. LED TVs compared: Local dimming, edge-lit, and full array - CNET Reviews And of course, LEDs lifespan should be much greater than the CCFL.
