Comment:
Recently attended convention ('buying group') out west as member. Experienced 1st hand LED lighting. GE, LG, Samsung, Sylvania. Seeing is truly believing. As research writer and reviewer, very dissapointed with CR review: info in some cases incorrect. Samsung not even included. As with 'juicer' review, CR's representation of products and stats either wrong or misleading.
