what does full array led mean? does it mean that it is more like elite pro TVs. is this an LCD TV with edge led or an led tv witj local dimming ?

Full array refers to the back light technology used to illuminate the LCD screen. Yes, it does mean it's more like the Elite, but I believe the Elite has more dimming zones. It is a local dimming TV and this is accomplished with the Full Array back light and the ability to shut individual zones off.

The only thing I might add to Sean's answer is to check the article/review on CNET. The review may be of the previous version but the TVs are the same; only the shape of the base is different. Great TV. No regrets. Works especially well with Sony AV Rcvr and Sony BD.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

That's technically true for all passive 3D tvs - the effect is achieved by splitting the image for left and right eyes, effectively cutting resolution in half. BUT although this is _technically_ correct, your brain combines the two lower res images together in your mind, creating both the 3D effect _and_ the perception you are viewing full 1080p. I have an active 3D set and have demo'd LG's passive 3D and honestly can't tell a difference. I don't think it would stop me from getting this TV, but the lack of local dimming would.

The term "LED" is a bit of a misnomer. All LED TV's are actually LCD TV's that use LED lights to backlight the screen. What are advertised as LCD TV's are LCD TV's that use flourescent lights to backlight the screen.

The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here. Meaning if you are watching anything that has high motion, like sports other than Golf, then the LED will show a clearer picture. Sooo, from my perspective I will NEVER buy a straight UP LCD Tv. I will buy one with LED or LED/LCD at 120 Hz or better, for I intend to keep it for more than 5 years. By the way, make sure you get a warranty and understand the benefit it will be bring to the table if at year three your new TV goes out... As an example BestBuy will replace the unit completely no questions asked. The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here.

What Mike said. They're all LCDs with LED backlighting. Some better than others. This one's a great monitor though, especially for the price! Only advice I have is if purchasing more than one for a multi-monitor set up you will 100% need some calibration software. I bought two and they are completely different temps. Not even close (this is standard with monitors within the industry). Calibration is a must...but well worth it for product at this price point.

Its much less of a prob with an LED or LCD. Go see any LED tv in a store and see the diff. Think of tv as a mirror...what ever light is in line with your viewing position will reflect. Light behind you when looking at tv is never best. Above or way off to the sides is best for viewing.this tv is quite nice I'd buy it again.

i have the 46". Sales info says its LED but the manual says it's an LCD. i think it's a generic manual.The box says it's an LED and 240 refresh rate. We've had it 2 months now and we love it.

The TV is edge lit with LEDs. It claims to do local dimming, but with edge lit TVs, the local dimming is very coarse (unlike full array backlights, which can dim smaller sections of the screen more effectively). In my experience with the TV, it basically dims the entire screen if it is mostly black or dark. For example, during the credits of a movie where the screen is mostly black with a little white text, the entire screen would suddenly dim. In a completely dark room the screen would not look completely black like a plasma or OLED, though. It just drops the backlight level to make the blacks look darker. I actually didn't really care for how it was implemented on this TV, though; I found the sudden drop in backlight level while watching TV jarring.

There is only one version of this monitor. It is an LCD monitor of type AH-IPS. It has LED *backlighting*.Any monitor you are probably thinking about getting is an LCD monitor (of some panel type, like TN or AH-IPS). The 'LED' in monitor descriptions always refers to the backlighting technology, older and cheaper monitors used fluorescent lighting (CCFL).

I found this review on cnet... it doesn't call out every LED/LCD TV.. but lists quite a few. I feel the reader can extrapolate how their TV model should stack up. But according to CNET; the Samsung 46" LED TVs are about 40% more efficient than the Samsung 46" LCD TVs. some highlights Samsung UN46B7000 107W Samsung LN46A950 146W http://reviews.cnet.com/green-tech/tv-consumption-chart/?tag=contentBody;nextPage

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

No. All LED and LCD televisions are considered LCD technology because of the LCD panels each technology uses; on the other hand, all LCD televisions are not backlighted with LEDs. Often you will see "LED-LCD" in a description to indicate the panel is backlighted with LED instead of a cold cathode flourescent bulb (CCFL).

Hi...Sorry, the site can be kind of hard to negotiate.On the left hand side of the screen is the "Navigation Menu"Choose "Display Devices"Then choose "Rear Projection Units"About the 7th unit down is the forum for "2007 Samsung LED Owners Thread"Settle in with a BIG cup of coffee. You've got about 5 hours of reading ahead of you. Don't get too scared re all the threads regarding the "blue halo" problem. It appears that this was corrected with the HLTxx87SAX version, (versus the HLTxx87s)

I believe it is a typo on Amazon's part. I got it from Amazon and it is LED, as described on Asus' website. Btw, amazing colors, highly recommended.

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.

Most LED tv'a use some form of CPU enhancement of motion to reduce blurring and supposedly add realism. They don't always work as a positive they are easily toggled off.
