There is no LED on the planet even near as good as the cheapest OLED. You have to spend thousands of dollars on a LED to even get one that doesn't completely suck. AV enthusiasts wont touch a LCD or LED. They have backlit screens, basically a big flash light shines through all the pixels at once. OLED and plasma have self-illuminating pixels. Every single Pixel is its own light source. This means you get amazing black levels, motion handling and contrast. Due to the technology LCD and led are incapable of producing anywhere near as good of picture quality as plasma or OLED. They are popular simply because they are cheap. The only reason plasma light away is because it's expensive to produce, puts off a lot of heat and is heavy. A good late model plasma is just as good as. OLED.
I never noticed. I don’t turn either on very often though. My neighbor said the same things as you, so I don’t doubt it.
A untrained eye might like LED/LCD better because they are brighter than plasma and OLED but outside of that they pale in comparison.
Most people just want a bright Vivid picture. AV enthusiasts want what's called a reference level picture quality. This means it meets certain certified standards and produces accurate colors rather than bright Vivid colors.
When directors film and cut movies they use reference monitors so a picky consumer will also want a reference level TV so they can see content exactly as the director intended it to be seen. Most movies are not meant to "pop" . Most people don't care about this stuff which is why crappy cheap TVs are so popular.
