Question

LCD or LED TV - which is a better choice?

Answer 1

I stood in Comet for a long time looking at LCD and LED TVs. With LED there is no doubt that the picture is brighter and shows more detail. It can be more apparent with certain scenes. For example two TVs were showing a street scene. Although there was little difference in the main subjects the paved road was represented clearly and in detail by the LED. So there is no doubt in my mind that LED is superior. I plumped for a 32" Panasonic LED with 2,000,000 contrast. It was priced at £649 in Comet. Laskys sold it to me for £494 with free delivery.

Answer 2

LED it's much better.



But I prefer Plasma TV, this panel have the best image and the best color levels and the best performance in a 3D TV.



Best and best! ;D

Answer 3

OLED is best, they are still new so the life of the TV is not fully tested/known yet but still the best

Answer 4

LCD televisions and LED televisions are actually the same. The one difference is that LED televisions are "backlit". This means that there are LCD televisions, and there are ( correctly termed here ) LCD-LED televisions you have a choice of. The LED backlit televisions have Light Emitting Diodes which basically highlight the colors even more so brightening the picture even more. I own a LCD-LED Sony Bravia Series 120 hz television, and can say that the colors are more brilliant than if I would have bought a regular LCD version of it. Panasonic is very innovative these days in that market - and worth looking into. And FYI - if you're looking to get a 3D television setup - you have to buy a 240 hz television for the 3D stuffs. The higher the hz rating - the smoother the picture. Most televisions are at 60 hz. Hope this helps you!

Answer 5

LED's picture quality is way better than LCD's so go for led.

Answer 6

the first person that answered your question is completely wrong. im am a sales associate in electronics at sears. lcds have a single backlight that portrays the image on to the screen. on an led tv the picture is projected from little led lights all around the inside that produce a much brighter image and higher contrast ratio. led is the better technology but is it to you worth the extra 200 dollars. generally speaking i leave that to my customers if its not to you than by an lcd 1080p and a minimum 120hz if its 60 hz it will be unclear during any action because the hertz has to do with the refresh rate. also the three brands im going to recommend to you are;1. samsung 2. lg 3. sony or sharp DO NOT BUY VIZIO!!!!!!!! the reason why is because they are a walmart company and they build there tvs from other companies left over parts this is part of the reason they are so cheap. it might look fantastic at first but that color will quickly start to fade and your tv will go out generally within the first year of ownership. if you have any follow up questions please post them here

Answer 7

LED and LCD both use an LCD display panel.



The difference is the type of light source used to provide the 'backlight' for the LCD.

(Note it's called a 'backlight' whether the actual light source is at the edge or back of the LCD panel; an optical system transfers the illumination to behind the LCD in any case).



Conventional LCD TVs use slimline fluorescent tubes, LED TVs use LEDs. There are still different designs of LED TV, with some the light source is white LEDs at the edge of the screen, while others may use white LEDs behind the screen, or even arrays of RGB LEDs behind the screen so the illumination colours can be varied over areas of the screen to emphasise the colours the LCD section is showing.



A LED backlight is likely to have a longer life than conventional LCD.

Also, as it is a newer technology, it probably means the overall TV design is newer and could be better performance.



To clarify, actual LED graphic or video displays do exists (commonly called OLED displays) - but the biggest of these are still relatively small, more like mobile phone size & definitely not anywhere near normal TV sizes.
