With the advent of "HDR" becoming more common, and my interest in upgrading one of the rooms from a 32" Toshiba LCD (pretty old now- 720p, no USB support, no networking or OS), I get nervous about the lack of uniformity and linear terminology that manufacturers use.
For example on LG's Ultra HD 4K models, the lower numbered range, such as UJ630/UJ670 series, is said to have a LED IPS panel (their words). Meanwhile higher ranged sets, or competitors selling products in the same market space, state that their panel is LCD.
I am to understand that you want LCD for the panel(not sure you have a choice? unless they mean the finer point of IPS with 8+2) and LED backlighting with dimming (as opposed to edge lit, or backlighting on it 's own).
I struggle to know if for instance LG's 2017 "LED" are the right backlighting. Their tech specs seem to do little to help indicate what type of backlighting it actually is.
We appreciate getting a 45-50" 4k with HDR, and LED backlight + dimming is most likely not going to happen for £400-500, though darned if I'd like to figure out exactly what I am buying before I open it and find out the hard way.
