Don't do it. You pay a lot of money for something that you can do yourself. Do this: Shop around for the best TV in your price range (Best picture, etc). Then go to the hardware store and buy those ribbon LED's. They cost less than $30 for a small set and you can install them yourself. Get one that has a remote control and that lets you change colors, dim etc.

It won't change colors with the picture, but it doesn't matter. The ambient light looks great at any color, and color changing with the picture is distracting anyway. The reason you want ambient light is to make the TV easier on your eyes when watching it in a dark room. The "wide" light it casts on the wall behind the TV softens the harshness of the TV light itself.
