Quite the contrary. Many LED sets use local dimming to improve image
contrast.


No claims for that I could see. If it does can only be a good thing as it
could give truer blacks as well - a problem with any backlit device.


Other problem with LEDs is producing a continuous spectrum smooth
white light -- needed to give all the colours from LCD.


The last thing you want is a continuous spectrum.


Eh?
