I just bought this TV and there is reflection like you would see on a LCD. Is that LED technology or did I get a wrong item?

All are LCD but some use LED for Backlighting vs CCFL. LED LCD is pretty much becoming standard now. That is not the issue with reflection, it is all based on the screen surface: gloss vs matte. For 4K, gloss is the only option today and will more than likely be the only one going forward. It allows for the optimal brightness where matte tends to mute the picture. Even most of the 1080P's out there are now gloss as well.

LCD and LED tech are two different things. LED is a BACKLIGHT technology. LCD is a display technology. The backlight shines through the LCD layer. LED tech is a lower power usage than CCT tech (Cold Cathode Tube) or Florescent Tube Tech. What you are seeing is the effect of a GLOSSY set vs a MATTE set. GLOSSY is a very smooth glass like screen look. It improves blacks, however it also increases reflection. Matte being a rougher texture on the screen itself negates most of the reflection but also reduces black depth.

Although this is an old question, my answer may help new buyers. I've owned this TV since 2010 and the "ghosting" effect on darker images in games has annoyed the H out of me for the last 4 years. Now that my warranty is about to run out I don't feel guilty about buying another tv. Apparently this is a common complaint on Samsung LED's.

It is a Plasma. Which means that the display is made of glass. There is always going to be some reflection.I have a fairly bright room and I rarely notice the glare. If you are seriously concerned about the glare and have a very bright room, then you should probably rethink what kind of TV you are purchasing. I have had this Samsung for a few months now and I absolutely love it. My only regret was that I didn't buy it sooner.

Marie, The screen on my 65" Sharp T.V. has a glossy finish to the screen. It does reflect light but it also has the best picture quality I have ever seen on a T.V.

I could get technical here, but rest assured it is a LED TV, and from what I've seen (I own it) and heard (from others on the web), it is currently the best 55" inch LED TV you can buy right now.Nice choice. Sit back and enjoy it. I get nothing but compliments from everyone who has seen its' display.

Yes, The LED24G45RQD also has the horrible viewing angle problem, so if you are 15% off directly viewing it, images will look like negative pictures and will be purple and black. If you are looking at it straight on, which is harder with a smaller screen it is fine.

I have never seen this either of my plasma TVs, especially on the LG 60PN6500. Did you see this on display at a retailer? If so, some retailers will change settings to make the plasmas look worse as the margin is higher on LCD/LED sets. Hope this helps.

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.

It has the same kind of screen I always see. I just turned my lamp on and it I don't see a reflection of the lamp on the computer screen. Hope this helps.

The screen is glossy. I definitely get reflections, during dark scenes, if there is any other source of light in the room. Fortunately, I have blackout curtains. If you always view it from the same spot, you could careful position the TV so there is nothing bright or shiny that will be reflected on the screen at that angle. If you do that, then maybe you can have some light in the room without getting reflections.

How do I know if I have an LCD or an LED and can I turn it into an LED if I want? I have opened the screen but nothing to determine it. A number LTN156AT01 is listed.

Hey Gary, The screen is matted. I can't see any reflection with my desk lamp on. However, very strong direct sunlight will give you some reflection which should be expected.

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

LCD and LED aren't mutually exclusive technologies. The screen is LCD, and the lighting is LED. This monitor is amazing, I bought it a few weeks ago. You won't be disappointed.

No. As the former response suggests, the image should not look like that (or doesn't with mine). Possibly a function of the display/screen you're using? I'll confess the colors don't look perfect with mine, but nothing as extreme as what you are describing. My wife has noted that the image has a bit of a red tint to it.

Not a problem at all when it's on. When TV isn't on, yes there's reflection because it's near a very large West -facing window. With our old TV had to draw curtains to see at all in the afternoon/early evening but this Samsung is great!
