Is this tv model edge lit or conventional LED LCD tv?

Edge lit. This means it's super thin and light. If you want one of those new, thick jobs, steer clear of the lm4600

LCD means Liquid Crystal DISPLAY. It refers to the actual material used in the screen of the television. Almost all HD TVs, computer monitors, etc. use LCD displays. LED, however, refers to Light Emitting Diode. This is the back-lighting of the display. As opposed to standard fluorescent light tubes, LEDs can provide brighter, more vibrant lighting with lower power usage and "true blacks," as in, those pixels turn off instead of displaying a low light as older displays do. So, short answer: Yes, it does have both. No, you can't just use either one, because they are complementary. Blame the marketers for confusing consumers about the difference between light tube LCD HDTVs and LED LCD HDTVs.

Something like this. Samsung UN55H6350 55-Inch 1080p 120Hz Smart LED TV (2014 Model)

It's LCD display with LED backlight and that's the LED TV description on general.

It is LED LCD. It is an LCD panel that is backlit by LEDs. All "LED" panels are this way.

Samsung UN46C6500 LED TV.............. Hey J. just received my 46 LED and the version number you said is SQ01 version, therefore, Amazon is selling the version made by Samsung. I was a bit concerned when you posted this sometime back and was wondering if I may have gotten the other versions. But that said Amazon is selling the SQ01 version, at least that is the one i received when i purchased.

Thanks Dylan! That's great info.Acc. to this CNET posting, a 46"inch LED Samsung is around 106watts while a Panasonic Plasma is around 160 watts. Both Samsung LED TVs and Panasonic Plasmas have improved over their last year models by an impressive margins. I am still inclined towards a Plasma for reasons of black and contrast on plasma over LCDs (LCDs are improving, but not sure if they can match Plasmas yet). If Plasmas are still consuming 400watts, then the choice would have been very clear, but now bet. 100 and 150, it is not clear.

not sure about relative to led's. but i had a plasma before this one and i could hardly watch when the blinds were open. with this one the image is clear as a bell. no issues in a well lit room. happy with my set. believe the hype.

I am not 100% sure which models do still have that option on the smart menu, but here is LG's site link and you may get a better answer to your question and what models do and don't using this link. LG Link:http://www.lg.com/my/tvs/lg-60LA8600-led-tv

Not to be rude but Hank really doesn't know what he is talking about. First point: " Both LED and LCD televisions can have 120 hz, 240hz, and even 480 hz and in this case both tv's are 120 hz. Refresh rates are the same so "clarity" from refresh rates will be identical. Second: He says he will never buy a "straight up lcd tv." that's ok but he says he will buy one with LED or LED/LCD. Unless he is looking at a 4inch screen, they will all be LCD backlit withe LEDs. oLED technology in TV's is years away. My thoughts: Both these TV's have their ups and downs. The 630 is thicker and more power hungry but will have a more uniform picture (which if you are in low light situations is better). The 6300 LED/LCD is slim, "cool", better contrast ratio, green, (more expensive) BUT (and a big but) will be brighter around the edges than the center. This is the problem with "budget" LED/LCDs. Most edge lit LED/LCD TVs have this problem. To avoid it and get the best of both worlds one would need to buy one with Local Dimming. This is where the LEDs are placed behind the entire screen, not just the edges. It is a true difference maker. Not that the prices for TV's with Local Dimming are substantially higher (unless you buy the new outstanding Vizio models). Either way, if you don't mind spending a little more and getting a little less with picture uniformity, go with the 6300.

It is an LED-backlit LCD monitor. I ordered one about 2 months ago... Pretty good screen for the price.

I am not sure how helpful this reply is, but I am in the process of upgrading an existing TV and spent about half an hour just looking at the 55" and up TV's at Best Buy yesterday for about half an hour. I watched about 8 different sets which included both Plasma (Samsung & Panasonic) along with LED edge-lit tv's from Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. I have to say that I only saw this on one TV and that was a Sharp 60" set. This set was set to ultra-torch mode and looked pretty crappy in general. I attributed the issue to the settings being cranked too high. I can't guarentee you that the problem would completely disappear with either a DIY adjustment or with professional calibration but I am sure it would be much, much less noticeable. My guess is that the lower end Sharp sets are going to be a little more tempermental and need more adjustments and tradeoffs. I would really like to see one of these sets in a real world set up and adjusted properly (I want a 60" TV with a smaller bexel due to space restrictions (Panny 60" ST30 is just a little too big). I really did like the looks of the LG 55LW5600. I have plasma right now and like it, but I am not convinced the blacks really are that good despite what David K. says on CNET. Some of the edge-lit LED sets do have decent black levels and detail in darker scenes. Maybe not as good as the Panny's, but they are so much brighter (will be used in a well-lit living room) and whites are white and not gray!

LCD TVs includes models use LED backlights to improve the picture. But there are models without the backlight feature and TVs with just LEDs in the flat screen. LCD and LED are different technologies; LCD stands for liquid crystal display and LED stands for light emitting diode and either or both can be used in making TV screens.

As a followup to my first post, service was performed by the contracted Samsun vendor for my area for the random power on off. To my surprise the technician replaced both the power board and the motherboard. He also indicated that these were new boards not refurbs. It has fixed the problem and I can continue to recommend this TV for it's fantastic picture. Do not compromise your purchase by buying edge lit led sets. Local dimming or full array led is the only way to go. You won't regret your investment for a fantastic picture.

I believe what you are referring to is local dimming. Parts on the screen that have content are lit up and parts without content are dimmed down or even turned off. I've noticed that when turning on the TV the bottom left corner is brighter than others which may appear like bleeding but I'm guessing it's related to local dimming. I wouldn't worry about it. I watched dark movie scenes and I don't notice it, the picture is perfect.

It is more of a matte screen, as it is LED/LCD. Most of the glossy screens are found on plasma TV's.
