I read today about a new backlight technology for LCD's that uses LED's. These are supposed to last MUCH longer and be technically superior in other ways that eliminate "ghosting" on fast action that sometimes happens with current LCD technology, on both LCD and DLP displays. Sony is the first one out of the gate. pcworld.com "High End At the top of the range is a 46-inch LCD model that the company will sell under its Qualia brand name. The model uses a panel produced by Samsung Electronics that is currently the world's largest in commercial production and, perhaps more importantly, 1 inch larger than the biggest panel being produced by Sharp. The Qualia 005 TV is also the first in the world to use an LED backlight, which Sony says helps the set deliver a superior picture with truer and richer colors. That appears to be true. At the unveiling, the new Qualia set was displayed alongside a competitor's model, unnamed but unmistakably a Sharp set because of its case style, and the Qualia set did appear to produce a better picture, at least for the sample images used in the demonstration."
