No warranty on backlight bleeding or hotspots, by commercial standard they are considered "normal". Its quality control issues, not all TV of the same model is the same, so test your luck. Its quite common on LED backlight sets, uniformity issues.

The "bleeding" is due differences of light intensity coming from the arrays of WLEDs. You cant expect all bulbs have the same brightness intensity, some even varies in color spectrum. White LEDs phosphor will wear and produce more violet into the color spectrum.

perhaps the WLEDs are more uniform at certain level of brightness.

-Try increase brightness and reduce contrast,
-reduce or increase backlight see which is better.
-reduce gamma level
-or probably zoom out the black bars

Thats a plus to CCFL LCD TV, with only 1 bulb tube, you get good uniform brightness and color.

Frame interpolation feature can be turned off, the 24hz movie will be displayed at 4:4 pulldown at 96Hz, depends on the spec, some uses 72Hz 3:3 pulldown.

The best is 120Hz TV at 5:5 pulldown at 120Hz.

The content frame rate is maintained at 24hz but with high refresh rate.

lol .. perhaps they want to counter piracy!!

Just ripped it then...

D7000 is considered mid-high end. 1 glasses cost around 400+, do the math

But the motion processor seems not doing really good, try google users reviews. key (motion plus + ghosting)

For motion alway go for Plasma.

But I still love LCD due to their immune of image retention.

Most shops only sell entry-level plasma only.

You try check Panny VT30

you know lah.. malaysians like the bright bright ones only.. don't care much about picture quality, so shops dont dare to keep high end plasma.

BTW LCD make a good couple with PC.

Plasma hates PC

Only LED as backlight, normal one use CCFL (Cold cathode florescent lamp). The Pixel panel is the same LCD.


No. They are not available yet in malaysia, perhaps in Japan or Korea only.

True LED TV is OLED TV or AMOLED TV. Real LED pixels has much faster refresh rate around 900hz or even higher, yes higher than plasma.

WARNING!!

600Hz LCD DO NOT EXIST. Fastest LCD is only limited to 240Hz.

600Hz LED flashing is the same like flashing your LED pasar malam torch light right behind the LCD panel at 600hz.

The TV panel is made of LCD matrix and lit with LED "sugar coated" backlights.

Literally means LCD TV = LED TV.

Real LED TV only available in 20 feet size, thats the smallest full HD i guess.. no offence

400Hz indicates the LED flashing pulse rate, yet the matrix LCD refresh rate is at 120hz.

You eyes can hardly tell anything above 100hz.

The clarity problem has nothing to do with the TV.

Viewing SD content on Full HD does not improve picture quality. The bigger the size, the worst.

Try watching the TV further away, 10-15feet.

Those 3D glasses battery type or rechargeable type?

With the amount of electronic components in it, ehemm.. I doubt that. CRT still rules !!

You need to be specific when you say , mid-end or high-end. What technology that you want your set to have say for example.. local dimming LED.

For example only Series 7 (D7000) and Series 8 (D8000) sets that can really compete with plasma performance in picture quality especially with contrast and black level, thanks to LED LOCAL DIMMING technology. Series 6 (6600) and series 5 and below DO NOT have local dimming technology.

Locally dimmed LED produce picture that has very little wash-out color, they appear deeper with greater contrast.

Yes definately, compared with LED/LCD TV without dimmable LED.

Not just the black, but for deeper color and contrast.

An LED backlight without Local dimming technology is no more better than a LCD ccfl backlight other than boosted brightness but NOT contrast ratio.

THE ONLY THING that can beat a plasma is LED/LCD TV with arrays of RGB Tri-color LEDs backlight not white LEDs. http://gizmodo.com/5013722/sony-hosts-xbr8...-guess-who-wins

Added on January 19, 2012, 3:02 pmDid you turn on Motionplus while gaming? Turn it off. Gaming console can generate real 60fps at 720p.

Motionplus only good for 24fps and 30fps video content. Average interpolated frames created is around 50fps but pulldown 2:2 to 100hz, but its still around 50-60fps only.

you didnt't state any kind of LED TV for comparison.

To be on par with plasma black you have to reduce your backlight volume, thus contrast do suffers too. This is true for non-dimming LED.

Black tint still suffers at odd viewing angles. IPS type panel reduces this effect, but its still there. These panels are only on high end to mid models.

My post refers to a RGB LED technology by sony. Samsung has never produce any Tri-color LED not even a prototype.

Conclusion, ONLY LED TV with Local Dimming technology can compete with plasma black.

Samsung Series 8 and Series 7 is equipped withocally dimmable LED + Lookup processor = MicroDimming they called it.

Series 6 and below blacks not so much better than regular LCD TV, perhaps too little.

This post has been edited by Mea Culpa: Jan 21 2012, 02:58 PM

Yes, Series 6 is 3D centric with 120hz refresh rate.

Higher refresh rate LCD/LED produce less artefact, thus much sharper picture at fast motion scenes, better motion clarity but still beaten by plasma tho.

Series 5 - 50/60hz refresh rate

Series 6 - 100/120hz refresh rate + active 3D
