another thing with the lcd's, is that if you have a bright spot, mostly white, it tends to be so bright it washes out surrounding colors
My work decided to go green and bought LED laptops for us this year. Their main reasoning is because they use less electricity. The batteries last longer than our previous computers, but I don't notice any major differences. Looking at my screen right now, the graphics are fine. The only difference in picture quality I notice is if I try to watch a video clip or movie full screen. The picture quality on this computer is crap compared to our previous ones with the lcd screens. It is definately a noticable difference in full screen clips. I am not sure if the picture quality is better in the TVs than it is on laptops, but I would definately look at the picture quality before buying one.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
