The purpose of this thread is to highlight local dimming LEDs products. Remember at the store that just because an LCD display uses LED backlighting does not mean it offers superior performance. Insist upon local dimming LED.
At the 2009 CES Samsung disappointed many by introducing LCDs with inferior edge lit LEDs. They selected this technology because its less costly to manufacture. For those who seek the highest levels of performance, the following true LED local dimming products should be considered:
Toshiba 55-inch 55SV760U, May 2009. No price yet
Vizio VF551XVT June 2009, $1999
LG LH90 models
* LG 55LH90 ($TBD) May 2009
* LG 47LH90 ($TBD) May 2009
* LG 42LH90 ($TBD) May 2009
Existing local dimming products are deemphazied for various issues:
Samsung 950 $5000 placed last in Home Theater face-off March 2009 issue
Sony XBR7 at $7000 is priced to high for consideration. Green color cast too.
