still waiting for real improvements i see. its a shame standards don't mean much anymore. for 60+ years its was always 3inch thick glass and 60Hz.
now they cant make up there mind, but i guess that Goes with the territory when 5 other companies all have different ways to improve your experience.

As snardos mentioned, LED is LCD. It is only the backlight that is different. LCD utilises CCFL (Cold Cathode Flourescent Lamps) backlighting, LED utilises Light Emitting Diodes. However they both use an LCD panel which manipulates the spectrums of light that shine through from the backlight.

Wouldn't one assume that the generation of TV's for the immediate future would be the LED type? I would think so, being that they produce a better picture, and I would think last longer. I feel as always, price will come down as production costs come down due to consumer saturation. Technology marches forward.

It might have directional speakers, I know I've seen them in home theater systems but not in a tv before.

THX isn't just sound, although that is what they are noted for.
They also provide various TV calibration tools to help optimize your television settings. Take a look at the "special features" on the Finding Nemo Dvd and they have a basic calibration setup on there for both your Sound system and Display. There's other DVD's that contain this as well, but that's the one that comes to mind first.
And by the way, it does a much better job at adjusting the picture on your display then just messing around with the settings on your own.

What happens if I like it slightly over saturated with a minor contrast/brightness boost?
:P
