I am considering an led set and though a new thread was better placed than adding this on the current one.

i am currently thinking about panny plasma and will buy in june but want to compare led as the images seem to compare with plasma in my eyes when i checked out JL .

i have seen the quaily of led from the samsung 7 series
they look sleek and so thin .. certainly better looking than the exterier of the panasonic although you dont watch that..

but it seens abit pricey

what models are imminent from other manufaturers ? and will they be any good ?

(my uses are mainly sky sd , movies and ps 3 but moving to hd soon )

I work for currys and we have the samsung series 6 LED at £1099 at the moment, with a blu ray player for £99 when bought with the tv as far as i can see its identical to the series 7 but without the internet conectivity hope that helps!

The image quality of the 6000 and 7000 screens are not the same, see reviews:

I had decided upon a 7000 or 8000 series Samsung set until I read a couple of issues that spooked me, one was the fact that the screens are demonstrated in-store with the LED's at 100%, at home the brightest backlight available is 60%. Then there are the questions of input lag, backlight uniformity and auto-dimming. It was just too much. Just as I'd almost given-up hope for a set I'd be happy with, Panasonic release the V10. Yes it's not as pretty as the Samsung, but apparently it's got it where it counts, and that is picture quality. I'll just have to be careful with the dreaded plasma retention/burn, but that should be fine.
