Arfa Daily coughed up some electrons that declared:

Just had one of those weekly e-ads from a local department store that we
use sometimes, trumpeting the latest "Ultraslim LED TV" from Samsung.

Ha! I thought. I haven't heard anything about this. Is it OLED ? At sizes
up to over 50", that didn't seem likely, so I followed the links to see
what it was all about.

Seems that these sets still actually have an LCD display panel, but the
*backlighting* is LED ...

OK, so I can see that there are advantages size-wise - these things are
only 32mm thick - and also power consumption savings, as we all know that
flourescent tube backlighting is very inefficient, but is it right to
actually call these "LED TVs" ? Seems like a bit of a deliberately
misleading use of the terminology to me - or is it maybe just me being a
picky grumpy old sod ? d:~)

This by any chance?

Drop a line to Trading Standards for mis-description.

I agree - "LED TV means the primary display is LED, not LED backlit LCD".
There's a world of difference and calling an LCD and LED is clearly
designed to misrepresent the product as something it's not.

I'll have an LED TV when they become cheap/big enough
