When it comes to purchasing new TVs, the only time you should now get an LCD TV is if you are purchasing a TV on a budget or cannot find an LED TV in the size you need. Other TVs are much cheaper than LED TVs, but the price gap is dropping and soon you will find LED TVs to be just as cheap.

Why LED Televisions Are Better Than LCD Televisions

Price aside, LED TVs have many more advantages compared to LCD televisions. They have a much better contrast ratio and black levels, better color accuracy, and power consumption. The only thing left is to wait to see how long LED televisions can last compared with LCD televisions. This cannot be determined yet because LED televisions are still new.

The reason contrast ratio and black levels are much better on these televisions is because they use dimming technology and can control the back-lighting. In LCD televisions, the screen has to block the light by twisting the LCD crystals. This ends up causing the television to have a lower contrast ratio than by simply dimming.

When it comes to producing a better color accuracy, LED televisions with colored back-lighting dominates over other televisions. Colored back-lighting allows the television to produce very realistic colors. However, some LED televisions do use white back-lighting, which is not much of an improvement of LCD televisions.

LED TVs also have better viewing angles. This is very important as you can then watch the television at a wider angle. Most televisions have often suffered when it comes to viewing angles. They usually do not work as well when it goes beyond 30 degrees off-center. However, LED televisions have fantastic viewing angles, and are almost as good as plasma televisions.

Power consumption is very important as it can save you money in the long run. LED televisions do have a slight improvement over LCD televisions when it comes to power usage, and approaches the power consumption of plasma TVs. However, this improvement in power consumption is only true for edge-lit TVs, and not the local dimming LED TVs.

When it comes to purchasing your TV, it is highly suggested to get a LED television as they seem to have many more advantages over its LCD rival. With advantages like power consumption, better viewing angles, contrast ratio, and color accuracy, you cannot go wrong with an LED television.

Which Is Better: Plasma, LCD or LED?

If you have been shopping for an HD television lately you would have noticed that you are faced with a myriad of choices when it comes to choosing between brand, size, features and display type. The latest TV's have impressive features like Bluetooth connectivity so you can wirelessly play music from a mobile device, internet connectivity and 3D displays. All these features may be exciting but the main reason you will buy a TV is for the viewing quality. There are three options for a 1080p/HD display, namely; Plasma, LCD or LED. How do they differ and which is best?

Plasma screens are the winners in the colour, contrast and black level departments. Plasma screens have a few misconceptions attached to them which are not true anymore: they are as energy efficient as LCDs and LEDs, they do not suffer from burn in, they do not have shorter life spans and they do work in higher altitudes. Plasmas have almost instantaneous response times, or refresh rate, which means that watching TV with lots of movement on the screen, e.g. sport, will be sharp and clear. If you are buying a large TV, 46 inches or bigger, then your best bet will be a plasma screen as large backlit LEDs can get expensive. Lastly, plasmas have the best viewing angles when viewed from the side.

Before we start with LCDs you should know that LED TVs are LCDs, it is simply a different form of LCD which uses LEDs as a backlight instead of the regular CCFL backlight in LCDs. LCDs are the cheapest displays and have been around the longest, since the advent of LCD computer monitors. LCDs suffer from one major flaw which is the refresh rate, but they do trump Plasmas in a few departments like brightness which is very important if your TV room is quite bright itself. LCDs are way better than Plasmas if you watch Bluerays, DVDs or you play games on the display.

So to the verdict, which is better: plasma, LCD or LED? If everything mentioned here is taken into consideration then LED displays are your best bet. LEDs use the latest technology and are not likely to be phased out soon, which also means that their resale value will be the best if you decide to sell or upgrade later. The most important advice to remember from this article is that you should do your homework before you buy your next TV, as you will probably be living with it for a while.

LCD Versus LED HDTV: Which Is Better?

Manufacturers like to market their HDTV models as either LCD or LED models. The fact of the matter is both types of televisions use the same technology, but there are differences major enough to make them different classifications. During the holidays and well into January, consumers purchase televisions and need to have the information necessary to purchase the type of television to meet their needs. Following is a comparison and contrast of LED and LCD HDTVs.

LCD Versus LED HDTV: Which Is Better?

The major component of LCD technology, liquid crystal diode, is present in both models. However, there are subtle differences between the two. LCD televisions tend to have darker pictures because of light being blocked by the LCD panel. LED, on the other hand, uses back-lighting along the edges of the screen to help brighten those darker areas, thereby creating a brighter and better quality picture. Recently one manufacturer built in an option to turn off the back-lighting, though studies show picture quality was improved with this feature on.

Aside from the above-mentioned differences in back-lighting, there really are not any significant differences between the LCD and LED models. Both televisions have excellent picture quality along with superior color displays. With that said, it must be pointed out that LED televisions with RGB color lights or a color wheel to affect the back lights, LCD models are slightly edged out by the LED's technology in this area.

Viewing angles on both types of televisions will vary depending upon the thickness of the glass used on the display screen. Both LCD and LED models have been known to change this area of manufacturing specifications often, so it is not a major point of comparison between the two types of televisions. There are other qualities besides this one to base an accurate, level comparison on.

Another point of comparison between the two types of televisions is video playback and gaming features. Each television does offer a mode for the online gamer that makes it easy to hook in any type of playing system. Also, both models are even as far as playback and picture refresh rate. Although LED televisions do not have much of a product history on the open market, it has been shown that LED back lights tend to last longer, theoretically making them the better television. CFL fluorescent back-lighting does tend to be more unstable and will degrade at a faster rate.

In conclusion, while both models seem to be fairly even in all areas, LED will slightly edge out the LCD models in longevity.
