JVC's LED backlit LCD at CEATEC 2006

by Richard Lawler, posted Oct 5th 2006 at 3:26PM

LCD TVs using LEDs for backlighting aren't exactly new -- Sony's high-end Qualia line has had this feature for a while -- but getting them down to a price affordable for most consumers has still proven to be an unattainable goal. Samsung had a 40-inch 10,000:1 contrast ratio beauty on display at IFA 2006 last month, and now the good folks at JVC are showing the model pictured above at CEATEC 2006. No deets on pricing, specs or even size are available yet, but if plasma isn't a good fit for your wall or budget -- and waiting around for SED is too much of a bore -- LED backlighting is the best bet for improved color reproduction and black levels in LCDs.

As an owner of LED Sony Qualia 005, I can confirm that the color and picture is simply and mesmerizingly amazing! You feel like you are in a studio when you watch Jay Lenno Show in HD! You can't get your eyes off that thing!
