Re: LED TV

Having said that, I've had nothing but good service from John Lewis as a
company.

On the display front, I'd imagine the danger area besides brightness
deviation is the interconnections on the led elements myself.

We need a new TV as ours has finally died. Having looked around the
picture
on the new Samsung LED is certainly impressive and the thinness is just
incredible. It is however new technology and does cost a bit more than
an
equivalent size LCD. Do you think it's early days with LED and best
avoided
in case it turns out to be problematic? We intend to buy from John Lewis
to
take advantage of their free 5 year guarantee (which has proven useful in
the past), but I would be interested to hear from others as to whether
you
can foresee any problems and whether we should go for it?



I have an LED clock bought in 1978. There is a loose contact somewhere,
but all the LED segments still work. I have a Casio pocket TV bought in
the 90's, which has one red pixel hard on (fine for everything except
cricker replays at the match).

LCD's are actually a more recent technology and early LCD panels used to
fade and leak internally, however post 1985 they have been much better.

OLED's are new and MTBF and burn out are a little unknown.

Plasma panels fade to 50% brightness after about ten years use.

Generally speaking LED's are very reliable with MTBF's at 100k hours plus.
OTOH with six million in a screen the standard deviation from this could
be significant.

IMHO there is no reason not to buy an LED panels and the results are
better.

You can probably get a cheaper result buying from Richer Sounds and buying
their add on five guarantee backed by Domestic and General.
