Don't you love LED back light!

[120volts]

Don't you love LED back light!
Plasma TVs are a pain to fix, but I due love the picture of a plasma.
The LED back light is such a common failure now.
Yes it's a pain pulling the screen but the repair is low cost.
And there's so many in the local recycle been.
here's one I got yesterday which has three shorted leds!

120volts " but the repair is low cost." enjoy it while it lasts, OLED will replace LED back light TV, then QLED, the quantum dots TV, will replace OLED.

Reference:

The future of TVs may not be OLED after all, but something quite different

Nah , i will watch plasma for a few years untill Oled has normal prices and all problems are fixed. Some of these lg oleds have problems with the screen.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

I am sure they will drive those OLED so hard too, and it will just fail like regular LED.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

OLED or QLED are failed to delivered the level current forum A, A+ or A++ , also all at range B ,B+ , which make them less in sell till they reach the level of now day LED A++ of LED backlight.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

Why would you want to buy Oled anyways. Compared to the latest Panasonic plasma's you won't see much difference watching normal tv. Don't know how it is in the USA or UK but in the Netherlands tv is a 720P upscaled on 50HZ

Diah , you mean energy saving level?

yes

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

if you have the right equipment to display stream data, most terrestrial & sat tv is actually only 480.
some shit like shopping channels and other "animated test patterns" as i like to think of them can be even lower.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

Hmm true. Here we have glasfiber connection , its 720P stream which gets upscaled to 1080p. ( software ).

Im still hoping to get a Panasonic VT60 or a ZT60...but they are so expensive , even second hand.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

I have a LG Plasma its 720p max but i have spent a long time setting it up and tweeking it.
The picture in my mind is excellent and I wont be changing it till it dies.

Only thing that would tempt me into a LED or OLED telly or LCD even is running costs.

As far as I know, my Telly is somewhat powerhungry compared with the other options.
No idea how much running cost are a day/year tho to be fair.

Re: Don't you love LED back light!

With a big screen plasma set you can turn the heating down in you living room,and sit round it to keep warm, the same could be said for big LCD if LED back light are run flatout. they both make good room heaters
