I think Brightside's 37" prototype used 1400 individually modulated LED's in the back light. The first product to market using any part of this tech was Samsung's 81 series LCD panels...but they only used 70 IMLED's, so the effect was a bit disappointing as I've heard.

Anyway, more explanation of Brightside's tech here:

SIM2 is a high end manufacturer so I wouldn't expect to see a reasonably priced (read: mass market) set this year.]]>Jan 5th 2008 10:49PM
