Re: TV Recommendations?

["Andy" <andywhitfield2002@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One more question....
I had a quick play with an LCD TV with edge lit LEDs and it has setting for
backlighting, contrast and brightness.
Contrast and brightness speak for themselves.
But what effect on the picture does adjusting the backlighting setting?  
(It was on 100%).
Does it effect the contrast under certain conditions?  e.g. night scenes?

Thx
Andy
