Differences About LED and LCD
The Most Important Thing About LED and LCD Are The Display
The one main important thing to remember though is the display. After all, it will be the centerpiece of your multimedia setup. From playing games to watching movies and shows, your TV is where your eyes will be most of the time once you turn it on.
Know the difference between LCD & LED TV and make a right choice before buying.
LED VS LCD TVS
LED and LCD – what’s the difference? It’s a question we hear a lot from budding home theater shoppers. Blame the acronyms. While yesterday’s consumers had to make a simple choice between CRT and rear-projection television sets, today’s consumers are confronted with plasma, LCD, DLP, OLED, and laser televisions. And now, the age-old term LED has been stirred into the mix. Let’s take a look at what those three magic letters mean, how they apply to televisions, and why you might want to consider buying one.
Technically speaking, a LED TV is also an LCD TV, as the screen on both is a liquid crystal display. An LCD display has two layers of glass that are polarized and joined together, the liquid crystals then pass or block the light to display the television picture.
The crystals do not produce any light as the light comes from a series of lamps at the back of the screen. On an LCD TV, the lamps at the back of the screen are fluorescent lamps, whilst on a LED TV, the lights at the back of the screen are Light Emitting Diodes (LED).
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display): A prevalent model of HDTVs, LCDs are flat panel displays through which light can pass or be blocked. The LCD doesn’t produce its own light; this is done by additional lighting (see backlit and edge-lit for more info). LCD HDTVs are available in a variety of sizes and have wide viewing angles, making them ideal for almost any size room.
LED (Light Emitting Diode): A semiconductor device that produces light from electricity. LEDs are often used to backlight LCD displays, which results in a clearer picture.
What Does All Of This Mean For You?
When it comes right down to it, the main difference between LCD and LED is that LED televisions are going to look better than other LCD screens. That’s not to downplay how good an LCD HDTV can look since the picture quality can be stunning, but there’s no denying that there is, indeed, a difference between them. That said, there are other differences worth taking into account.
