The average LCD TV lasts 60-80k hours, which is about 9 years of constant time being turned on. LED TVs are supposed to surpass that. Even then, most people upgrade within that time frame anyway, to something newer and better. |

The only difference is that the back lighting is made of LEDs instead of a mercury vapor based cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL). Some people like the LEDs, some prefer the fluorescent, some don't care. Aside from that the LCD panels themselves are the same.
Regardless of what TV you look at I recommend getting a 120hz one and never look back.

Those freak me out.
I'd really like to get a new TV, but hey my old tube is still chugging along for free, it's hard to justify spending the money when I have something that still works for the most part. |

Why are you scared of 120hz?
There is a definite difference between tvs with it and without it. Especially when watching sports or other movement rich content there is much less motion blur. If you go to costco you can look at ones without and ones with and there is a definite difference.

The lack of any motion blur is what messes with my head. It feels like you're watching everything through a home video camcorder. Not scared of it, it's just trippy. I'm sure I'd get used to it pretty quick.

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. |
