Curious about the various versions of LED tv's...

by JCesana - 10/19/09 1:13 PM

I am looking to perhaps get a Samsung LED tv, but am confused about the various versions. I see user reviews for the 6000-7000 models where people say that this is really an edge-lit LED set, while the specs say it's a backlit LED set. Which is correct? Or am I just confused about something....?

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

JCesana,

The UNxxB6000/7000/7100/8000 are LED edge-lit panels. The UNxxB8500 is the LED back-lit panel with white LEDs directly behind the panel.

Does that help?

Than this should be designated in the model's name. It sounds pretty deceiving to be calling it a LED TV if it really isn't.

Also, what's the difference between the two "edge-lit and "back-lit"?......and what is a true LED set?
