my living room is well-litted as i have huge glass windows beside the living room.

so i believe i need a bright tv.

saying a bright tv, which kind of panel is better? direct-lit or edge-lit panel?

knowing edge-lit tv mostly is friendly on price, and also lack of local dimming.

says we compare direct-lit and edge-lit panel, both without local dimming?

you wanna compare the brightness?
basically direct-lit is better, but thicker as compare to edge-lit

if you see most high end TV in the market, are edge-lit to maintain the thin frame

however, with current tech and R&D trying to make both of them look similar, to me a normal consumer hardly can see the brightness difference

Direct lit is not better , it is just one of the methods LED-LCD TVs used to light up their screen.
If the technology is done right , the edge lit TV will just be as good as the direct lit .
If you think edge lit sucks , think again . Here's a hint : Sony X9300E
No worries, i dont think edge lit sucks, in fact to me i couldnt see the difference, however as you said, logically direct lit TV are easier to control the brightness, while for Edge Lit, with technology done right, it will be as good as direct lit

QUOTE
You are right about the edge-lit being thinner than direct lit TVs .
The TV brightness is largely attributes to the availability of an adequate dimming system and power budget of the said TV.
i agree, in the end, the power budget and the adequate dimming system is the factor

QUOTE
You mixed them up , most high end LED-LCD TVs on the market are direct lit , that's how they are able to implement full array Local dimming system into the TV which is usually more expensive . But not all direct lit TV has F.A.L.D , there are also lower budget direct-lit TVs such as the 2017's Samsung entry level MU6100.

and i'll correct my sentence, the high end TV which feature thin bezels as a marketing point (for example Sony Bravia AF8)
