LED Televisions Are The Latest And Greatest

Written by Jed Young on December 11th, 2009

The latest trend to hit the consumer electronics market is LED Televisions. LED stands for light emitting diode so as the name suggests the television is composed of a large number LEDs which are used to produce a picture on your television screen. This might be a very simplistic explanation of things but this is how the technology works in a nutshell.

The term LED televisions is used mostly by Samsung electronics as well as other television manufacturers. Now even though the name suggests that there are a large number of LEDs in the television there are not as many as they should be to form a picture. What the LEDs do is they provide the LCD with the needed backlight hence making it able to produce picture perfect video.

When you look at televisions there is a big difference between the picture quality and technology of conventional LCD televisions versus LED Televisions. From a point of view of a lay person the picture quality is much better with the television able to produce very dark blacks, and bright colors.

The Edge-LED technology has made it possible for manufacturers to produce very slim televisions. The least of which are 1 inch thick. They can possibly go thinner depending on how the technology evolves. These televisions also have a much lower power consumption ratio than normal televisions. It is almost 40% more efficient in terms of power than conventional televisions on the market.

LED Televisions can also provide for a much broader array of color gamut. This is especially true in areas where RGB backlighting is used.

There are several methods that are used for backlighting LCD panels. By using either white or RGB (Red, Green and blue) LED arrays which are placed behind the panel. The Edge-LED lighting technology uses white colored LEDs which are arranged around the inside of the frame of the television using a special light diffusion panel which is perfectly designed to spread the rays of light evenly behind the panel.

One of the biggest of the many benefits of having an LED backlight is that it offers a lower level of power consumption as well as very high brightness. When you compare it to conventional LCD lighting there are also color advantages. These are something which cannot be achieved with regular LCD technology. However one of the biggest barriers to wide usage of LED television is the cost of purchasing the unit. As time passes the prices are lowering though.

Various companies produce variations of these technologies. Also every brand of television does their own special thing with their television in order to make it more favourable. In a nutshell though this is what you can expect from these televisions.
