LCD's will eventually be phased out as Apple eventually figures out how to pipe the signal directly to our optic nerves.

Can you say iBrain?!?

Probably hoping to push 3G and LED sets now. Since LCD/Plasma's hit homes, there has been way too many changes in television. First there was HD Ready - which tricked some folks into buying a tv they thought was the future. Then they came out and said we have "Full HD" now we have HD 3D and super slim LED, all in such a short time.

Don't get me wrong, I love the new LED T.V's I'm just pissed, I've bought 2 LCD TV's in the last 5 years. Now they are outdated already. Before LCD, the old TV's lasted forever! Man, I sound old lol.

I'm not sure LED's are worth the money. I've seen the pictures side by side on display and I still like the Sharp LCD amazing picture quality and Samsung LCD was a close second. The LED's were nice, but I rather good bang for my buck. If it came down to a 42" LED vs. 46" LCD Sharp for the same money...well I know which way I'd go.

LED FACTS

State of the Art Picture Quality
About 40% Less Energy usage than a same sized LCD TV
Mercury Free and a VERY Thin Design
Currently LED TV's Cost about 20-30% more


LCD FACTS

Good Picture Quality, but Images may "burn" in Display
Energy Costs run Between $150-200 per year to operate an LCD
Mercury IS used in Manufacturing Process
Cost is the Cheaper of the Two Choices
