Anna and I are gunning for a new tv! Samsung 40" LCD going for about $600 in a few places :D
I just picked up a Panasonic TC-P42S1 42" 1080p 600mhz plasma for $799 at Best Buy. Awesome picture, makes the XBox 360 da bomb on 1080p HDMI!!!

Get what you want now without fighting the crowds and then go back after with your receipt for their price guaranty and get refunded the difference plus!!!.

Its like MattD Stated earlier, LED is the backlighting, not the actual pixels. your new laptop just has LED Backlighting rather than cold cathod. Its more energy efficient, and can be made thinner. Hence why the new LED Tvs are like 2 inches thick. but your screen is still an LCD.
If your company is really looking to become energy efficient, tell them to replace all of their light bulbs and recessed lighting with Permlight LED products. I used to work for this company and the energy savings is awesome, and yet it produces the same if not more light than a regular bulb.

I don't work out of an office so I am not too sure what they do there. My closest office is in Austin, TX. The computers we have are Lenovo T500s.

Scheides, I believe Walmart is running a sale for $599 for a 52" Samsung, much better deal!

Be careful when just comparing screen size vs. price. You have to look at the specs between the two.

[adidasdudegst]

yea, that is very true, it had a 120hz refresh, and 1080i i believe

[viridionplague]

at this day, why would you buy a 1080i tv?

[TheBlizzard]

Does the 120hz make a noticeable difference for the average consumer? I've never seen one or compared the two side-by-side.

I have a 50" Sony Bravia 120hz LCD, a friend of mine has a 42" Bravia LCD 60hz, there is a noticable difference betweent two while playing fast paced video games and watching sports.

another thing with the led's, they are darker compaired to lcd, but give much truer colors. they give better colors because the led's can be turned on or off creating much much more contrast.

led's also use about 40% less electricity than lcd's

another thing with the lcd's, is that if you have a bright spot, mostly white, it tends to be so bright it washes out surrounding colors
Again, as Tom and I have both stated, you still have an LCD. One is lit by a cold cathode fluorescent light, the other uses LEDs. Either way it's the same LCD panel. The LEDs are not turning on or off, it's still up to the LCD to block out light to make the screen look black.

Its nice to finally agree with Matt for once. :) Of course this has nothing to do with politics, and we both know about computers and IT Stuff.
