LED backlight

Posted by psgary on March 19, 2012 at 14:26:30:
My beloved 27" Panasonic TV died in front of my eyes yesterday. Now the hunt is on and HDTV is about the only option for a new set.

I've read up a bit but can't tell from online descriptions if a given LED HDTV has a backlight or not. That information doesn't seem to be included in typical specs.

If I get an LED TV, it seems one that has backlighting is the way to go.

Any help is appreciated, as are comments.
