I know nothing about these TV's. What should I look for before I buy a used one. I know I need a game plan. I plan making them demonstrate the TV before I buy it. But do they need bulbs replaced periodically? I know on some of the projection sets you can check out how many hours are left. Any advice would be appreciated.
LCD/LED tv's do not have bulbs. Projection TVs do and Plasmas can burn out... I don't think you can replace whatever burns out (plasmas.)
New TV's are soooo cheap right now. What size are you looking for?

An LCD should last a looooong time. I've never had an LCD panel just die, usually they get hit by something and the screen physically cracks.
For the price they are I would buy a new one personally, deffinitely go for 1080p if you`re into gaming on the TV (xbox360 or PS3).
I bought a Samsung 7000 series LED TV before chrismas and it`s got a stunning picture.

TD04-16g`s, Maf-t. 13g`s 12.4@115mph / 16g`s 12.5@117mph.
I want something big, like 60 inches or so. I see the LCD's going for 600 at 60+ inches. Which seems good for something that is going to be $1200 new. I've been thinking about going smaller and getting new. I'm setting up a home media network. Starting with the TV I want 1080p native resolution and thats the bottom line really. Need HDMI and PC input as well.
front projectors with 1080p are in the $1500 range now. and if you hunt, you might be able to find ones that have LED bulbs, instead of conventional halogen/xenon bulbs.
...guess what i'll be getting after my next PCS?
LCD's do have bulbs(CFL), which do, but rarely burn out. (I have had 1 out of 10).Originally Posted by TT4ME
For practical use there are no LED tv's. What is advertised as 'LED TV' is really an LCD tv with an LED backlight.
DO NOT pay $100 for brand name hdmi cable's. Get it on ebay.
Only thing is check for dropped pixels on the LCD...

I think they tested monster cables vs a $6 HDMI cable and seen no difference.
