3D and LED are all the rage now. 

I'm not so keen on 3D, because I have to wear those awful 
goggles for minutes or hours on end, it's simply annoying. 
That's no way to tune in. I avoid 3D movies at the cinema 
like the plague, it's just uncomfortable.

As for LCD vs. LED. Well, the majority of consumer-grade 
sets that come with LED are not offering true LED. It's 
merely LED backlight across an LCD display (lit from the 
edge in most cases). It is better than LCD, but not as good 
as pure LED. And to be honest, I don't think it really 
matters that much. The processors in Tv's these days have 
sufficient logic to "make up the difference", although have 
a pure LED display would be ideal for the videophile.

As for so-called Motion Interpolation (marketing names of 
Motion Flow for Sony, Auto Motion Plus for Samsung, Fine 
Motion Enhanced for Sharp, clearScan for Toshiba, TruMotion 
for LG, e.t.c.), I don't like it. You never walk into a 
cinema expecting to watch movies like that, why settle for 
the same in your living room? It's unnatural, disturbing and 
cheesy. I normally just turn it off altogether.

Happy Holiday shopping :-).

Mark.
