Samsung LCD or Samsung LED-LCD? cant decide between the two, and why/how is one better than the other?

in these two there’s not much in the price difference, but if you have seen an LED-LCD like the one above or an LCD like the one above which would you choose and why? or what are some positive points and negative ones too of each or the type LCD vs. LED?

First of All LED tvs, are not really a new type of tv, instead of using standard cold-cathode fluorescent lights (or CCFLs) to backlight the display, They use Light emitting diodes instead (LEDs) to lite of the display from behind. They have used different approaches to use this LED technology. One way results a quite worse picture, one pretty much looks the same, and another results in probably the best picture you’ll ever see on an LCD tv (of course for a very high price). The benefit all LED tvs offer, is the very high energy efficiency.

DEFINITELY choose the LCD version. The Samsung LED-LCD tv on the link you put, Uses an edge lit LED lighting method to create superthin TV, engineers needed to eliminate that extra layer of LEDs and move it to the sides of the display. With this form of backlighting, the LEDs are affixed to all four sides of the TV and light is projected inward to the middle of the TV via “lightguides.” This results in an non-uniform overall display (the brightness isn’t even distributed properly) (this is said in many review on cnet about tvs using this technology). Plus the LCD version, has a better refresh rate (240hz), reducing blur better during fast moving scenes.

The second type is just a full array of backlit LEDs, instead of a full array of CCFLs. The picture is pretty much the same (super hard to tell a difference). However the third type simply boasts the best picture you’ll see on a tv besides plasmas. It features a full array of LEDs, where each one is capable of dynamically dimming itself or turning itself off, depending on whats being displayed on the screen. Creating the darkest black levels on an lcd tv, and great colour reproduction and detail. This is found on the higher end models like the Samsung UN55B8500.
