Samsung has it, Sony has it and so does Panasonic, Sharp and all the other top brands in the market. But what is it exactly that people are so excited about in this so-called “latest technology”? What is the difference between the LED television and the LCD TV? This is the part where knowledge truly is power and before you spend that hard-earned cash, you first need to know what is in store for you.
There is actually no difference between a LED TV and an LCD TV screen, but the LED TV has been updated with LED technology. Fluorescent tubes are used in the more traditional LCD televisions where the color quality of the “true blacks” is ultimately lessened because of this type of backlighting. Due to this problem, manufacturers devised a new generation which we now know as the LED television technology using the LEDs to light the LCD screen.
The edge-lit LED TVs allow the utilization of LEDs around the borders of the screen. This presents a better quality product than the back-lit LCD TVs while at the same time reducing the thickness of the television. Moreover, edge-lit LED televisions eat up lesser energy compared to their back-lit counterparts, something that is very important especially to those environmentally-concerned clientele.
So now, have you taken down your pick between the traditional LCD TV or the new LED TV? As soon as you have narrowed down your options to either of the two television technologies, now your main concern becomes choosing which accessories work well with them. For one thing, are you now aware that you can interface your television with your computer whether wired or not? Amazing right? Think of the many possibilities you have: live stream programming from your favorite internet website, endless choices of the latest movies, as well as home videos coming from your computer streamed directly into your LED TV!
To top it all off, most LED TVs sold in the market today are equipped with USB ports from which you can just plug you USB jump drive to show off the pictures, videos, songs and movies you have saved right into your LED television screen! LED TVs being added with multiple HDMI ports also allows consumers with the connection of other kinds of technology which includes but is not limited to Blu Ray players, satellite dish receivers, gaming consoles and many other without the use of the things of the past like bulky coaxial cable, A/V cables and adapters.
