Q. Could someone give a brief overview of the differences between LED and HDTV? (I am thinking of purchasing something around 40 inches.)
Also, my purchase would not have to coincide with a Superbowl party. Do you think that prices would be better before or after the game? Or is there a better time of year to purchase a new televsion as new models are introduced?

A. There are 3 type of HDTV which popular in market now LCD HDTV, Plasma HDTV and LED HDTV.
Plasma uses gas plasma cells charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture.
LCD screens (liquid crystal display) are in layman's terms sandwiches made up of liquid crystal pushed in the space between two glass plates. Images are created by varying the amount of electrical charge applied to the crystals
LED-backlit LCD television or LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting rather than fluorescent lights used in traditional LCD televisions
Each technology have their pro & con, here are pro & con for your decision
Pros of Plasma
- Better contrast ratio
- better ability to render deep blacks, more color depth,
- better motion tracking (response time)
- more availability in very large screen sizes.
Cons of Plasma
- more susceptible to burn-in (although this is not as much of a factor now, due to technology improvements in the past few years)
- more heat generation (as well as more power consumption)
- screen glare in brightly lit rooms
- heavier weight, and more delicate to ship.
Good brand that I would recommend for Plasma is Panasonic or Samsung

Pros of LCD
- LCD television advantages include no burn-in susceptibility
- cooler running
- less screen glare, more functional at high altitudes
- longer display life (although improvements are being made in Plasma screen life)
- looks better in brightly lit rooms
- less power consumption than Plasma.
Cons of LCD
- Lower contrast ratio
- not as good rendering deep blacks
- not as good at tracking motion (although this is improving, especially with the implementation of 120Hz refresh rates (and some now offer 240Hz) on higher-end models).
Good brand for LCD that I would recommend is Samsung or Sony

Pros & Cons of LED is almost same as LCD but LED come with better contrast ratio,better picture quality , super slim and 40% less power consumption but higher price

There are good deals before Superbowl party and another good time is around March which there will be new model out and price of old model will drop down.

Which HDTV is best for just bluray playback and video games?
Q. I'm not interested in a smart TV or anything like that. I just need to know what to consider when buying one. I've settled on 1080p and nothing under 46" (42" in a pinch). LCD, LED, or Plasma? Refresh rate? Is the Xbox 360 HD ready out of the box or do I need a different cable?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
A. While not as popular - Plasma does not have motion-blur issues like LCD panels.
If you do not go with plasma - you need to get a 120 hz LED back-light model to come close.
You use a HDMI cable for your xbox. But make sure to pop in a Pixar DVD go to the setup menu and you will find test-patterns and instructions to adjust the brightness, contrast and color.
You can get either a BluRay player with internet features or get a external Western Digital Live box to add netflix, pandora, etc.
