Keep seeing "Samsung ... lcd" in ads ... is "lcd" the way to go? or was it "led"?
----------- Well, it would seem that "LCD" and "LED" go together. LED (liquid crystal display) screens can be lit from the back by fluorescent or light emitting diodes (LED) or I believe "edge lit" by LEDs. The primary advantage of LEDs seems to be that they can be "adjusted" to give better contrast and use much less power than other lighting methods. As for providing a "near exact" reproduction, then you might be needing a "high end" monitor. If you are an artist (and I am certainly NOT!) and using paints, I would think that you could easily do with a reasonably good monitor. Monitors are generally measured diagonally and a "47" inch seems to be a "standard" for advertising. I suppose you could swing one to either portrait or landscape orientation and use software to rotate the picture to match and fill the screen.
