re: LED TVs
OLED TV's are only availabe in 19" I believe from Sony.

Theres a Few Backlit LED TV's like Zing said. But OLED TV's wont be around for a couple of years or so in the same size as we have today.

Re: LED TVs
IIRC, the advantage of an LED backlight (as opposed to fluorescent tube) is that the TV can turn the brightness up and down and thus increase the 'contrast'.

Re: LED TVs
And of course there is efficiency, much lower power consumption and of course size

Re: LED TVs
I was looking at getting the 40" Samsung series 8 LED but have been put off with the fact that its just a backlit tv as opposed to true LED (as the arguments above have pointed out). So that leaves me with getting a 8 series LCD (@£850) but I am also contemplating a Panasonic Viera 600mz plasma. Can anyone guide me as to which TV I should go for, given a budget of 850ish. Everyone I've spoken to has told me to steer away from plasmas, but surely a 600mz set would give me a better picture than the Samsung LCD? Would the LED stll not give a better picture given its much higher contrast ratio?

Re: LED TVs
I would have to point you to the Sony Bravia in your price range and you can find old tv scrapage schemes that give you a wedge back. With such a sheme I saw a 40" bravia @ less than £600. Every Bravia I have seen has been spot on
