so i'm looking at possibly buying a new LCD TV. a lot of reviews for the sets i'm in the budget range for (i.e. - the budget range) say something about the less-than-stellar quality of the backlighting. for instance: "Uneven backlight uniformity produces banding".
i understand what this means in english, however, does this refer SPECIFICALLY to the backlight being turned on? as in, if i just turned the backlight off wouldn't this problem go away? my current set has a backlight that i'm able to turn off (and do since the display is perfectly adequate without it on, and in fact looks terrible even at its lowest setting, almost eye-straining).
do most displays not have this option? just wanted to know since a lot of gripes about newer sets (backlight problems, lower-quality 120hz dejudder) do not apply to me since i don't need my display to be brighter than the sun, and I hate the way 120hz+ looks and you can seemingly just turn these features off.
