i also think it's funny that ppl think LED is going to replace plasma... like somehow a different backlight can make the LCD panel perfect
I think it's a question of the right TV for the right room. For a bright room with lots of natural light, an LED would be better; for a home theatre in a basement, a plasma.

i don't even think i'd go that far. it's about quality not technology. a GOOD plasma will be better than a cheap led and a good led will be better than a cheap plasma, in pretty much all 'normal' situations.
the trick is to consider it one of many factors.

so, it could be nice. they seem to put more effort into the bigger sets, but i'd definitely want to have a good look at that insignia before i jumped

Hey guys,

thanks!

hi guys, i know its not much of a deal but im considering buying the Samsung Model: UN32EH4003FXZC 32in 720p 60Hz LED HDTV for FS for $300. I dont need anything bigger that 32" as it is going in our bedroom. It got good review on cnet and id prefer an LED because of the energy saved. ive looked myself and Im still waiting for costco to post their deals but please let me know if theres an even better deal or if a better product out ther for the same price. thanks in advance

how much energy are you planning to save? for a bedroom set, i'd be looking more at the dynex for under 200. i don't think you're saving that much with an LED over an LCD to make up over 100dollar difference.

I have a plasma in my living room which does get natural light and the plasma is still the winner over LED. Nothing beats the plasma picture quality

I missed the newegg 42" tv, which was a good deal, but i'm really looking for 47-55" tv. Ideally like newegg, it would not be charging quebec eco-taxes too, as that's about $50 in savings.
