From the old school tube TVs almost every household is upgrading to newer types of TVs. When it comes to entertainment, watching one’s favorite TV shows or simply enjoying a quiet evening with some popcorn with family in the living room, everyone will settle for quality picture.
Why strain your eyes from watching shows on old TVs when there are a lot of affordable high end television sets? When couples agree that it is time to purchase a new set, argument starts on whether to invest in LED or LCD TV?
What is the difference between the two, and which one is better? You might be more confused and end up scratching your head if I tell you that LED TV sets are actually modified types of LCD TVs.
LCD TVs employ some sources which can light up its good pixels. In some LCD television sets, light is obtained from a series of fluorescent bulbs, while LED TVs have a series of LEDs as their source of light. LED TVs are either edge-lit with LEDS positioned at the edges of the LCD’s panel, or full array which has LEDS located behind the unit.
Deciding whether to invest in an edge-lit or full array LED TV will depend on your preferences. Sets which are edge-lit are basically much thinner because they necessitate little amount of space to case the needed illumination. If you want a thinner TV you won’t go for a set with full array. But if you want the best picture out of LCD TVs, full array is the one for you.
If price is your concern in making investments, take note that television sets which use LEDS as backlights are more expensive. But it is still worth to look at its features and compare it with the popular LCD TVs.
