LED Televisions

By Ricky Strauss

People all across the world spend hours watching television. They get hooked on their favourite shows and even discuss the characters as if they exist in real life. They become addicted to TV gaming options and new connection capability. Due to this, creating a clearer, a bigger, and a more realistic television screen has become a venture for all electronic manufacturers. While the LCD television and plasma television sit high on the high quality TV list, the latest in discoveries comes from LEDs in the LED high definition television.

Out of the desire to find better, more exciting ways to watch television or take part in TV gaming has evolved the LED television. An LED television differs from that of the plasma or LCD TVs in that it uses LEDs to direct light and color resulting in more clarity. LEDs have a great capability of directing light into one direction than other lighting methods. These LEDs are either found along the edges of the screen or across the back. These two terms edge-lit and back-lit describe the different LED positions.

The use of LED technology in a television allows for slightly different viewing. The size of a television screen using LEDs is limited to 40 inches or greater thus the screen is much larger than those of other TV types. However, the screen is slimmer and sleeker in depth. Typically, a LED television with LEDs along the perimeter of the screen cost less than a TV with back-lit LEDs. Using LEDs around the edges of a TV allows for an even narrower screen option. Yet, a back-lit LED television screen allows for local dimming in which darker blacks are created when LEDs are shut off.

As great as owning a LED HDTV sounds, it is not a purchase to make without a serious consideration of cost. An LED HDTV may cost the buyer $4000. However, serious TV gamers and film watchers will likely find that the capabilities of the LED HDTV to portray fast motion is well worth the money spent. Many claim that they never imagined the difference in picture until viewing the screen. Those concerned about the environment and energy consumption also believe that the 40% cut by the LED TV sets off the upfront cost.

When comparing the three competitors for top quality televisions, plasma TVs, LCD TVs, and LED TVs are the three to compare. Plasma TVs are known for their incredible viewing angle. However, they have received great heat from their reflective screens. LCD TVs still own up to great picture quality. However, none yet have toped the LED TVs in capturing and portraying perfect color and clarity.

The LED screen has allowed for the capabilities of larger, wider screens. These LED screens are composed of many LEDs combined to form small dots or pixels. A color LED screen has three colors of LED pixels. The pixels are red, green, and blue. When put together, these pixels form white. One single meter of a LED screen can house over 9000 pixels. The number of pixels per meter is determine by the pixel pitch, which is the distance between each pixel. The smaller the pixel pitch in an LED screen, the higher definition the viewer receives and the higher cost the buyer pays.

In addition to the discovery of LED screens in the television world, NCE has broken through with the LED monitor. The LED monitor, like the LED TV screen, promises to offer the best color and clarity. Again these features are not priceless. A LED monitor offers the same features of the LCD flat panel monitor but with more accurate coloring. The high end of the LED monitor price spectrum ranges up to and over $6000. However, one positive aspect about the LED monitor is the absence of Mercury as found in fluorescent backlights.

All reviews and indicators point to LED technology as being the electronic of the future. While high cost and screen size limitations are a factor in the LED world now, manufacturers show promise of working through these issues. In given time, LED electronics could possibly be a normal in the homes of all television watchers. - 29872
