LEDs are LCD tvs that are lit by LED lights instead of a single bulb.

The biggest difference is that LCDs are bright in the middle of the screen. LEDs are either edge lit (darker in the middle) or fully lit (uniformly lit for even bright/dark)

again, LED tvs are LCD tvs lit with a different form of backlight

MrBelding is 100% correct. It is the same technology displaying the image, as opposed to plasma or the recently deceased DLP TVs. The light engine is different, that is all. The LED is more power efficient but usually runs hotter(???)....

 

You want your HDTV to look better? Spend $20 on this, its almost a calibration. I am ISF certified, this will get you pretty damn close to a true calibration at a fraction of the cost. You image will be better after you run this DVD and make the recommended adjustments....

When I was in the market for led TVs last year the samsungs looked brighter than the LGs. LG is a good brand, but for some reason even their LED TVs look like LCD TVs next to a Samsung. Samsung is just better at making them.

I wouldn't go by how they look in a brightly lit store.

Manufacturers know some models will be on display so all TVs come from factory calibrated to look good on display. Watching at home on those settings makes most people nauseous.

This is true..TVs are sent from the factory with the Contrast jacked all the way up so it will "look good" on a showroom floor with all them big fluorescents above. Buy simply turning it down to about 65% your image will get much better. Contrast is the white level while Brightness is black level in the image. Getting these 2 settings correct help immensely as the greyscale affects all other colors...

 

 

I still have my 40" Samsung I bought in 2008....love it. 

 

Explain what you've got going to your tv (receivers, etc)

 

I have a DirecTV HD DVR, a Samsung BDP and a Toshiba HD DVD player all connected via HDMI to my Samsung 55in plasma....

Heres something about LG, its not 'Life's Good', its 'Lucky Goldstar'. Remember Goldstar TVs? POS TVs, not a fan....

So how does this DVD work?  Will it give me an online version as I have no DVD players anymore now that they are basically obsolete.  My TV looks great for day games but night games look like complete sh*t.

It basically gives you 3 different pictures and oh adjust your picture settings according to their instruction.

Brightness: picture of close up of man in black shirt w/blk jacket, 3 blacks-shirt, jacket & lapel, adjust to see all 3

Contrast: picture of 2 people in white shirts, adjust so you can see the wrinkles in shirts, corrects 'blooming'

Color: pic of 3 women, 1 made up too much, 1 pasty & 1 normal(?), adjust your color levels to suit

Takes about 30mins & knowing how to operate your TV...

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
