I'm confused the back of the TV and the operating manual both state model # KDL-55w900A that it is a LCD. I thought i had bought a LED TV? Above description states LED for this model.

I could get technical here, but rest assured it is a LED TV, and from what I've seen (I own it) and heard (from others on the web), it is currently the best 55" inch LED TV you can buy right now.Nice choice. Sit back and enjoy it. I get nothing but compliments from everyone who has seen its' display.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD_display): A LED-backlit LCD display is a flat panel display which uses LED backlighting instead of the cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting used by most other LCDs.

All LED sets are LCD displays that are backlit with LEDS LEAds are smaller, lighter, more energy efficient, can be used better local dimming and operate with much less heat. Unfortunately manufacturers wanted to make it sound like a whole new picture technology which created a tremendous amount of confusion for consumers. To add to the problem sales people were never educated to the difference and added to the confusion. The leads are a huge advantage and you the best tv on the market at its size, features and cost. I am extremely happy with mine.

Samsung UN46C6500 LED TV.............. Hey J. just received my 46 LED and the version number you said is SQ01 version, therefore, Amazon is selling the version made by Samsung. I was a bit concerned when you posted this sometime back and was wondering if I may have gotten the other versions. But that said Amazon is selling the SQ01 version, at least that is the one i received when i purchased.

Actually online aficionado......The new Samsung LED's are WORSE. It is mentioned in cnets reviews and some have left comments here on amazon. One guy mentioned how he can see streaks running through his new LED tv in a dark room. So yeah... LCD's only look good when the lights are on.My friend has a panasonic plasma that he games on a lot. NO BURN IT. There is temporary image retention but that goes away fast.

Apparently this TV is on back order. Amazon called today to try to get me to substitute the TV for the 55UB8500 model. Not sure if it's worth it yet, still researching and comparing the two models.

Every LED Monitor is an LCD screen. It just uses LED backlighting.. So yes this is an LED monitor. I love this monitor. You will too if you don't plan on making and stand adjustments!! Hope you enjoy!

i have the 46". Sales info says its LED but the manual says it's an LCD. i think it's a generic manual.The box says it's an LED and 240 refresh rate. We've had it 2 months now and we love it.

I am not sure how helpful this reply is, but I am in the process of upgrading an existing TV and spent about half an hour just looking at the 55" and up TV's at Best Buy yesterday for about half an hour. I watched about 8 different sets which included both Plasma (Samsung & Panasonic) along with LED edge-lit tv's from Samsung, LG, Sharp and Sony. I have to say that I only saw this on one TV and that was a Sharp 60" set. This set was set to ultra-torch mode and looked pretty crappy in general. I attributed the issue to the settings being cranked too high. I can't guarentee you that the problem would completely disappear with either a DIY adjustment or with professional calibration but I am sure it would be much, much less noticeable. My guess is that the lower end Sharp sets are going to be a little more tempermental and need more adjustments and tradeoffs. I would really like to see one of these sets in a real world set up and adjusted properly (I want a 60" TV with a smaller bexel due to space restrictions (Panny 60" ST30 is just a little too big). I really did like the looks of the LG 55LW5600. I have plasma right now and like it, but I am not convinced the blacks really are that good despite what David K. says on CNET. Some of the edge-lit LED sets do have decent black levels and detail in darker scenes. Maybe not as good as the Panny's, but they are so much brighter (will be used in a well-lit living room) and whites are white and not gray!

You're going to have to help us out, Samsung makes allot of Tvs. A better idea would be to find the battery compartment or the instructions with your glasses and see what you have that way. If you can't do that at least leave us a model number.

I'm not sure what you're asking. I have purchased 2 Samsung LED, 1080p televisions and am very happy with both. I purchased my 55" locally (60mhz) locally and my 50" (120mhz) through Amazon. I had my 55" mounted to my wall and I purchased my wall-mount kit through Amazon and did far better on price than I could locally. Both tv's are working beautifully and, since I needed no mounting for the tv through Amazon, set-up was a breeze. My tv came in perfect condition and remains so. The price was the very best available at the time I bought it. It beat all local store's prices and arrived really fast. Zero problems. Hope this helps. I'm not sure what you're asking.

It is a direct array LED tv. It wouldn't call itself an LED tv if it didn't use light-emitting-diodes.

It's an HDTV but mine is currently blank in the bottom quarter of the screen for no apparent reason. I've had the tv for a month and maybe a week. I'm pissed off about this TV right now, but when it was working it was pretty cool

This TV is NOT a led TV. The LED in a LED TV is used to illuminate the LCD screen. This NTD-1354 is a good LCD TV and performs very good at least 30 degrees from exact center.

It is an LED display. There are preset light bars in there. An LCD display would be a solid display which this is not.

It is an LCD monitor. It does have LED's to light the screen, however. So, it has both but is LCD to display the image, and uses LEDs for lighting the screen up.

Its much less of a prob with an LED or LCD. Go see any LED tv in a store and see the diff. Think of tv as a mirror...what ever light is in line with your viewing position will reflect. Light behind you when looking at tv is never best. Above or way off to the sides is best for viewing.this tv is quite nice I'd buy it again.
