I think you are wrong. At Costco in Salt Lake City for 40″ TV’s far and away the superior picture for resolution of textures, hair, etc. is the LCD Sony 40BX45 with Sharp technology. The whites are white, not pale blue. The difference is not subtle if one takes one’s time and looks closely. I bought a Samsung which cost about $200 more, but left it in the box because at Costco I felt something was not right about this model. I returned it and bought the Sony with which I am well pleased.

As i know also LED is less power consuming than LCD, and TV is more slim too

LCD and LEDs should be fine. Plasmas might be fine but I do believe 9,000 feet is outside the manufacturer specifications so that would probably invalidate your warranty.

We live at 9,000 feet and have been told that the altitude affects LCDs and plasmas, but LEDs are okay. Does anyone know if that is correct?

No.

Blacks on an LCD or LED or limited by the fact there must be back-lighting for anything to be visible at all. So while an individual LCD pixel can attempt to block light, light is still being created and will come through the display.

That’s why Plasmas have the advantage in this area. Each individual pixel on a Plasma is filled with gas which is charged to create light. But if you don’t need light, you can just not charge the pixel, and it makes none.

Now, it is a little more complex than that, which is why most plasmas don’t produce an absolute true-to-life black, but they do have the ability to make individual pixels almost devoid of light.

I’m not exactly sure what version is used in Samsung LED 3D televisions. It probably depends on the set.

I recently bought an LG 42″ Plasma for $299 and I think it’s awesome. Grant you, I’m not a videophile, but if I were I would simply have bought one of Panasonic’s fancy plasmas. You can get a very nice model for $1000 (in the ‘States)

Today, under the LED shops mean different things: the type of illumination, imaging, etc. Even there are different types of LED!
