LED TVs and displays employ a new technology which a have improved the viewing experience. They have now been made thinner, lighter and have a better picture quality than their conventional LCD counterparts. The advances in this area resulted in Samsung selling approx one million LED TVs worldwide in the first six months.
LED displays are not radically different to conventional LCD displays. They still use LCDs, the difference is with the source of lighting used in these displays. Rather than using fluorescent lights as previous LCD displays have, LED TVs and displays use LEDs as the screens lighting source.
The use of the phrase LED TV has come under some scrutiny. In the GB the ASA was critical of the use of the phrase and said it was misleading to consumers. It indicates that LEDs are more significant than they actually are. In the end manufacturers agreed that they would make the function of LEDs in these televisions clearer in their advertising. Other makers of TVs indicated a better description would be to call such displays LED lit LCDs.
You will currently find LED televisions and displays being produced by JVC, Samsung, Sony and Philips. They will all claim that LEDs are advancement on previous LCDs. To summarize they allow today?s displays to be manufactured lighter, slimmer, eco-friendlier and of course improved images. Because they are new to the market they are however still quite expensive when compared with standard LCD displays.
The LEDs are used in either side-lit or back-lit arrangements in LED TVs. Edge-lit LED TVs as the name would suggest use LEDs round the side of the LCD display. The TVs can be made much slimmer because LEDs take up less space than the fluorescent lights they replace. Back-lit LED TVs are not quite as thin but have the added benefit that the LEDs can be locally dimmed to produce better contrast with darker blacks. LED TVs can be made as little as 10mm thin.
The colours are claimed to be further enhanced with LED lighting. This can be explained by the fact that LEDs produce a full spectrum of light when compared to fluorescent lights. The contrast control is also improved.
LED monitors as well as TVs have extended life expectancy with the introduction of LEDs technology. LEDs have a longer lifespan than fluorescent lights and, as LCD TVs are not designed to have the fluorescent lighting replaced when the backlight begins to dim or fails then there is little that can be done.
In a world that is becoming ever greener, LED TVs are doing their little bit. They are more eco-friendly than older LCD TVs. This is because of the improved efficiency of LEDs. Manufacturers will claim that LED TVs use up to forty percent less energy than standard LCD displays and even more when it come to plasmas. Another point worth mentioning is that fluorescent lighting contained mercury which has obviously been eliminated. - 29872
