Hmm, I'm not an engineer, so feel free to shout me down if I'm talking rubbish, but if the LED's are 'individually lit', what is the point of the LCD at all? Isn't this basically just like a plazma? I'm presuming the answer is that there are a lot less LED's than pixels, but this would make the effect a bit wierd/useless, especially in scenes with lots of mixed bright and dark detail.
