Introduction

Want to discover the latest buzz in LCD HDTVs? Just change one letter to LED, and you’ve got it. In manufacturers’ quest to increase contrast ratios and black levels to more plasma-like performance (which we favor), LCD HDTV manufacturers keep enhancing the basic display technology. In this case, Toshiba and other makers use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with local dimming as a light source, instead of traditional and widely used fluorescent tubes. In theory, this change greatly improves picture quality while decreasing energy use, a win-win for all concerned. Toshiba’s new 46-inch 46SV670U HDTV is its first LED model, comes as loaded as a Cadillac, and has a price to match. Let’s see if it’s worth it.
