I don't know the big difference but my uncle and I have pretty much the same set up except for the tv's I have a 55 inch Sony Bravia LCD 1080i
But my Uncle has a Samsung 50 something inch LCD LED 1080p yet when I watched Avatar on bluray on his set up it completely blew me away. The movement was so fluid and the colors were rich and clear. I watched it on mine and the colors were clear and crispy but the movement wasn't really the same. I can't explain what it is and Im no tv expert but I would pick the LED LCD.

and yes, LED is better generally. it's a thinner display and it uses less energy

good answers. i think worth a little more to get something really good . you only live once.

I prefer to pillage mother Earth by using traditional cathode ray technology.

i dont remember exactly what he said, it was several months ago. sometimes you gotta take advice of people who sell whatever product they are selling. costco does not pay commissions to their sales ppl so i just took his word for it.

i thogth he said LED LCD means it's backlit, which for some reason is advantageous. it may because it works better in a sunlit room during daytime. who the hell knows.
