Hi there, if you want to buy a new tv which one do you prefer? LED OR LCD, comparing the price, feature, etc...

Hello,
led would be a newer tv set to buy and better as well, why buy something old.

  Not exactly old, LEDs are LCD tvs
  
  I will say if you buy a new set, especially an $$ one i.e. just b/c it's "LED" and don't calibrate it correctly, well, it's pointless lol. Calibrate your tv's people
  
  Thanks

LED's use less power to light their LED bulbs. They also last longer. Have you ever seen how long those LED flashlights last? It's just something better for your wallet over the long run and better for the environment by consuming less power and lasting longer.

Hello,
I will not pay $300.00 to calibrate my led tv, the thing that I do not like about it is the soap opera effect that you get.

  huh?? So you'll buy a nice tv and not calibrate? Then your stuck with a crap picture on an expensive set, I can't count all the times people I know would love their new tv "oh you have to see the pic on this new LED" and I'm like dude it looks like sh!t lol. Not sure what you mean by calibrating causing the "soap opera effect", there's frame rate options that can be turned off to avoid that real life film look, on my tv's it was called Film Stabilization and I have it turned off (multiple settings) and ClearFrame turned off as well. B/c of the way different things are filmed, compressed, and different hz ranges... it's better to have it turned off (pretty much all companies have it on their tv's but called all different types of names).
  
  Best thing to do if you don't want to pay to have it professionally calibrated, or don't have something like the Spyder3Pro, then grab a Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark Disk Amazon.com: Spears & Munsil High-Definition... . You'll be glad you did, I can make a $500 no name tv look infinitely better than a $3k+ tv that's not calibrated.
  
  Thanks
