Television technology is suffering from some confusing terms at present.
LCD televisions use a light behind the liquid crystal panel. The light has been a cold cathode device but recently, LEDs have been used as an alternative. Both use the same LCD imaging technology.
A true LED television uses LEDs to generate red, green and blue light for every pixel. The technology has been with us for many years and is used extensively in large outdoor displays for concerts and stadia for example. Very recently, organic LEDs (OLEDs) have been used to create domestic sized displays. They offer the same high contrast capability of the larger displays and are a simpler construction than LCD models. The use of directly driven LEDs also allows a much faster update rate than LCD so they overcome any issues of image lag or smearing that can sometimes be noticed with LCD or plasma displays.
The disadvantage is the current price. In 2012, OLED televisions are far more expensive than other technologies but expect the price to fall dramatically in the coming year or two as production volumes increase.
led is better
led is better than lcd tv
lcd watever
LED's are usually also LCD's. LED LCD's are usually better as you do not have to worry about the light bulb will not burn out because led's last longer. I would suggest LED LCD's as the lightbulb not burning out will save you some money.
LED televisions have better color contrast than LCD televisions. LCD televisions have better viewing angles than LED televisions do, meaning that viewing to television from the side is more comfortable with the LCD televisions than with the LED televisions.
LCD, simply because LEDs suck.
Most people like LCD better because it has better graphics and sound.
well, Led is newer, and Better
First of all, an LED and an LCD are the same thing. An LED is just an LCD with a LED backlight. LEDs use less power and have a higher contrast ratio. I say if you can afford it, go with the LED, you won't be disappointed!
There's not much of a difference, the quality really depends on the brand. The biggest difference between LED and LCD is that LCD has fluorescent lamps in it and LED has LED lights in the back of the screen.
An LED TV would be better than an LCD. LED TV technology is a step forward in monitors and televisions as the backlighting is a line of white LED's instead of a florescent tube. This reduces heat, power consumption, and the thickness the television has to be.
LED tvs are far more energy efficient than LCD tvs, although they do tend to be more expensive. Also, LED picture quality is typically better than LCD pictures.
LCD, LED, and plasma televisions are all HDTV (high definition televisions). They differ in technology, the latest on the market being LED.
