Technology in every sphere is changing rapidly and so is the case for televisions. From colour TV to plasma to LCD and LED TVs – the innovations have been rapid. At the centre of all this is you, the buyer. As you prepare to bring home a new TV to ramp up your entertainment, you will be able to take a better decision when you know what technology is best suited for your needs. In order to understand why you need to pick an LED TV over an LCD TV, it’s time to explore their differences.
A LED TV is a type of an LCD TV, which uses a Liquid Crystal Display or LCD panel to display light on the screen. The LCD panels consist of two sheets of polarizing material, between which a liquid crystal solution is placed. When an electric charge is passed into the liquid, the crystals line up to either restrict the light or allow it to pass through.
The difference in the TVs is the source of backlighting. The earlier LCD TV came with a CCFL or Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp whereas the LED TV uses an array of smaller, efficient LEDs to light up the screen. As the LED backlighting is more efficient, most LCD TVs today use this technology.
Irrespective of which TV model you choose, you can find easy financing options for your new TV at the Bajaj Finance EMI Network. Here you can also choose from various TVs starting with an EMI of just Rs. 1999 and avail easy financing for the latest and best smart TV purchase.
To make selecting a model easier, take a look at the 9 reasons that make an LED TV a better option as compared to an LCD TV.
1. Current generation LED TVs have edge-lit panels that offer better picture quality. The thin screens of these models are ergonomic, which allow you to place your LED TV on the wall or in a recess in the wall. LCD TVs on the other hand are at least 1-inch thick and cannot match the slim LED TV makes.
2. LED backlit TVs consume less power when compared to a similar screen size LCD TV, which comes equipped with a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.
3. While LCD backlights will continue to improve, almost all manufacturers are focusing on the LED edge-lighting.
4. LCD TVs have been reviewed badly for not producing deep blacks as seen on Plasma TVs. With the LED TV, the blacks are at the same level as Plasma TVs or better. As the next generation of LED TVs featuring edge-lighting are introduced in the market, the dynamic contract is set to improve further.
5. LCD TVs are powered by CCFLs and are known to dissipate more heat as compared to LED TVs, which run cooler. This, in our tropical climate, can overheat the TV. Taking this one step further, an LCD TV can catch fire more easily than a LED TV.
6. CCFL, on breaking, can cause electrical leakage, but an LED TV will not
7. In case you are looking for a bigger screen, you may be inclined to pick an LED TV as the screen size of an LED TV goes up to 90-inches; however, the screen size on an LCD TV ranges from 13 to 57 inches.
8. An LED TV offers a longer life span compared to an LCD TV. The life span of an LED TV is around 1,00,000 hours, however, on an LCD TV, the life span varies between 50,000 to 1,00,000 hours.
9. Finally, a LED TV will provide better colours, especially the TVs that are capable of RGB backlighting.
Now that you know why you should choose an LED TV here are some of the latest TVs you can pick from.
