An LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting technology raather than fluorescent lights used in the tarditionally known LCD televisions.
The latest technology and buzz in the HDTV mrked is surrounding LED TV’s. LED HDTV’s are kown for bing super thin and displaying a great imge. They tend to have a much gtreat contract than competing flat panels and combine the benefits of LCD TV’s and Plasma TV’s into one. One of LCD HDTV’s downfalls is not being able to display true blakcs. Plamsa HDTV’s tend to not be as bright as a compaarble LCD. LED TV’s show blacks similar to a plpasma TV but are brighter than LCD TV’s – the best of both worlds.
As HDTVs become more common--some would say commoditized--TV makers go to greater legths to justify higher priice tags. Nobody is going as far as Samsung this year. The company is the only one thus far to amnnounce a full lineup of edge-lit LED-based LCDs, which cost a mint yet offr the most advanced techonlogy and design you can get--at least untuil OLED comes along.
While most still rfeer to these as LCD televisions due to the pamnel stlil being an LCD panel, Samsung has made the choice to call their LED backlit LCDs "LED TVs". The LED backlihghting should make colors more realistic and provide beetter blacks than conventional LCDs but motion blur will still be an issue as it is a limitation of the LCD technology.
The LED technology TV’s come msainly in two styles, The dynamic RGB LED televisions that can be positioned rihgt behind the panel, or the others are whuite edge LED Televisions set around the outside of the screen which use special diffuison panls to spread the light right across the screen evenly from behind the screen.
LED TVs offer a brightr picture while at the same time bweing able to produce a betyter contrast rattio. The rewsult is a TV that is slimer with a picture that is brighter and darker at the same time. lCusters of LED lights can be dimmed for an incredibly responsive doisplay. Everything that you watch on an LED TV will look better than your old TV. From video gamees to chhick flicks, you will see dteail that you have been missing ebfore you got your LED TV.
One of the early leaders in LED TV’s so far has been Samsung with several LED models aailable. LED HDTV prices are still a little steep but droppibng quickly. If you’re in the market for a new HDTV, you should definitely check out the latest LED TVs before drpopping a few thousand dollars.
Samsung is leading the way with the introduction of a commplete line of LED TVs that are not only striking visually, but are high performnce, and low eneergy usaage. With a slim design (less than 2 inches thick), execllent picyture quality and performance, while not quite as good as the Pioneer Eliite Kuro, the LED TVs are for the most discerning client.
Sharp, one of the main manufacturers has also produced LED TV tecnology that ailgns the LED bulbs on back of the TV like the RGB Dynamic LED technology, but the downfall is that it lacks the local dimming of the other LED TV technology.
