First, the only televisions that use LEDs use OLEDs. There are none
using
conventional LEDs.


** Fraid " LED TVs " are on sale all over the world right now.

Your Wiki reference says it all. These are NOT LED televisions,

** But they are called " LED TVs " by their makers and so are

*KNOWN BY THAT NAME* to members of the public.


And it's time something was done about that. The manufacturers are
relentlessly plugging this as though it's some new and wonderful display
technology, and it's not (although I have to say that the TV ad campaign
that was running here seems to have stopped now). It is misleading nonsense,
and although all civilised countries have laws against misleading
advertising, for some reason, they seem to be letting this one go,
presumably because like you, they don't have any understanding of what is
actually *meant* by the term, rather than *implied* by it.

But the terms don't have a clearly defined meaning. Indeed, even if they
did, the typical consumer probably wouldn't know what they meant. If
people buy stuff based on not particularly meaningful, but good
sounding, hype, they really have only themselves to blame.
