Dark room (backlight only), little blur because I do not have a tripod and this was ISO 80. Shutter time of 8 seconds to let in light. I took SEVERAL different versions, and this one is most accurate to what my eyes see in the dark. You can slightly make out the border, but darker than my plasma due to the local dimming. As you can see there is a tad bit of blooming (lighter area around dish info screen), but the rest is pitch black.

Very, very nice. I will have to put this one on my short list for replacing my 60" XBR2 with a failing OB.

how long do the led's last? You get dead pixels like an LCD?

Too early to tell on longevity. I've seen claims of the same vs CCFL, or more. One truth is that the LED's are less susceptible to dimming and burnout than a CCFL, so they should keep brightness longer( or lose it slower than CCFL). The back lit sets also allow for much better blacks. I bought a 3yr in home from Square Trade, just in case.
Since it is still an LCD, just a different type of back light, I'm sure it could have dead pixels.

I do not think any flat screen LCD owners have to worry about the life of the backlight. A board will probably fail long before the backlight does and ruin the set.
