Hi! I'm planning to purchase a Flat Panel this coming November. I'm currently doing my research on what kind of flat panel I need to purchase whether LCD or LED and Sir Vic was able to provide me with competitive prices. The flat panel will be intended for 75% cable and 25% DVD or CD movies. My budget is a maximum of 35K and looking between 32" and 40". Please help me answer the following questions so that it can help me decide.
I did my research here in the forums as well but due to some technical terms used, I most of the time get confused.
1. What are the differences LCD and LED (aside from the ccfl and led thingy)?
2. Is true that when LCD gets broken it can't be repaired while LED can be repaired?
3. What's the use of refresh rate? What's the minimum for it?
4. Which last longer, LED or LCD?
5. I've read from the forum here that the top flat panel manufacturer are LG and Panny, how true is that?
6. Is there a big difference between the price of a edge-lit and back-lit LED?
7. The flat panel will be placed in my living room (which is very lit especially in the afternoon and not airconditioned), does it matter between LED and LCD?
TIA to all!
