It is all well and good, new technology coming onto the market, but it seems like a lot of the time, we are baffled by the terminology used and in fact we have no idea why we should pick a LED TV over a LCD TV. Apart from the obvious differences in price we need insight.
The LED TV’s come in two varieties and they are RGB LED TV and Edge LED TV.
The RGB LED TV is an LCD TV that uses LED backlighting technology, rather than the fluorescent lights used in LCD TV’s. So LED’s are located along the back of the display. It does allow some dimming to occur. In essence this generates darkness across the TV screen. So the overall effect is a much more opaque, black visual with a better dynamic contrast.
The EDGE LED TV has LED’s round the perimeter of the TV set, but this means that the TV’s can be produced extremely thin, creating a very slick design. This technology is usually cheaper than the RGB LED, appealing to a more budget conscious customer looking for a Cheap LED TV.
Ultimately, LED TV’s do offer a cinematic experience. When looking at the 26 Samsung UE26C4000 HD Ready, the wide colour enhancer really brings to life the colours on screen due to the 3D colour stretching technology saturating each pixel. They are very versatile and allow audio and video sources to be connected to your TV adding to the LED appeal.
Although, this may be considered to be a premium product, the investment is definitely one worth making.
