LED tv's

Whats the deal with these? Are the better than LCD or Plasma?
Also whats better regarding LCD and Plasma?

LED IS LCD. It's just the form of backlighting.

they're hideously expensive but supposedley better at contrast and producing the dark areas of the colour spectrum
But it is NOT the promised OLED
I think its almost a trick naming them LED.

there is that peat and what LeKnight has been seduced by no doubt is samsung and sony slick advertising

Hardly, I just got me a new plasma, saw the add and I thought "oh shit, Im not behind again am I?"
I just remember talking to a tech geek ages ago and he was going on about led tech, and I was wondering if this is the same.

You're always going to be behind...

It does seem this way.....

so long as your new plasma is a pioneer you should be sweet

I think it's best to stay a generation behind (or maybe half a generation).

The latest and greatest stuff is always stupid expensive, then in a year it's a fraction of the price.

NR its a Samsung. I didnt even know Pioneer made tv's!?!
As for staying behind Harvey, I learnt this lession with the PS2's. My mates paid close to a grand for theirs, I waited and got one for about two hundy.
I also do this with PS3 games, they usually drop by half within a year, or go trademe.

Pioneer are the undisputed kings of plasma, but they're wayyyy more expensive. I got a panasonic plasma nearly a year ago, it's badass. From what I read in reviews it's the best non-pioneer one you can get.

easy

LCD >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> plasma

Why?

EFT. They are no longer being produced in Japan and the Kuro range has stopped due to production costs being too high.

Arguable now as to whether Pioneer or Panasonic are the better plasmas now.

If you have one of the top of the line Pioneers from the original production though nothing comes close. They are incredible TV's.

Mate works for Panasonic. Getting myself one of them in couple of months time. Can't wait!

agreed scotty and even on analog (if the reception is good) the pq is very decent imo, which is just as well, for the non sky digital among us who have to rely for now on analog for prime and for recording too
