If you refuse to settle for anything less than the latest display technology, an LED-backlit LCD display is where it's at (at least until OLEDs become more common). LED backlighting gives LCD TVs higher contrast, deeper black levels, energy efficiency, and a wider color range. There are two types of arrangement within LED backlighting technology: back-lit and edge-lit. Back-lit sets, like this Aquos, provide better image quality, while edge-lit sets have an ultra-thin profile.
