LED High Definition Televisions

By Ricky Strauss

Television manufacturers continue to work to create a better and more pleasing viewing experience for consumers. The new craze in film watching and TV gaming opens up the TV electronic world to discover more realistic pictures through color perfection and clarity. Through this venture, many different types of bulbs and lighting sources have been tested and tried. While many have shown great success, the desire for even better continues. The newest discovery being Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) in the LED high definition television.

This drive toward giving viewers a more enjoyable TV watching experience has lead to the latest in trends, the LED television. In basic terms, a LED TV can exist as a LCD TV that uses Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) to clarify the picture screen display or as an LED TV which uses complete LEDs. LEDs more effectively direct light in one direction than fluorescent or incandescent bulbs. In a LCD TV, the LEDS are either placed along the back of the screen or around the edge of the screen. When the LEDs are used along the perimeter of the display screen, the term edge lit is labelled to the product.

The methods of LED technology that manufacturers use for creating LED televisions create two different perspectives for viewers. When the LEDs are placed along the side of the televisions, the screen depth size capabilities are reduced greatly. The screen can be thinner due to the lack of LEDs in the back. An edge lit TV also costs less than a back lit LED TV. However, when the LEDs are used across the back of the televisions, deeper and darker blacks are formed. The LEDs can actually be shut off so no light comes through. In the television world this is referred to as local dimming.

As great as owning a LED HDTV sounds, it is not a purchase to make without a serious consideration of cost. An LED HDTV may cost the buyer $4000. However, serious TV gamers and film watchers will likely find that the capabilities of the LED HDTV to portray fast motion is well worth the money spent. Many claim that they never imagined the difference in picture until viewing the screen. Those concerned about the environment and energy consumption also believe that the 40% cut by the LED TV sets off the upfront cost.

The close competition between LCD, plasma, and LED TVs leads to a need for great comparison from the buyer before making a final decision and purchase. While the plasma TV offers a great viewing angle, its reflective screen is often troublesome in light. LCD TVs work well for basic viewing needs but the bulbs do not compare to the newer LED TV creation. The newer LED TVs take the lead when it comes to the picture produced.

The LED screen has allowed for the capabilities of larger, wider screens. These LED screens are composed of many LEDs combined to form small dots or pixels. A color LED screen has three colors of LED pixels. The pixels are red, green, and blue. When put together, these pixels form white. One single meter of a LED screen can house over 9000 pixels. The number of pixels per meter is determine by the pixel pitch, which is the distance between each pixel. The smaller the pixel pitch in an LED screen, the higher definition the viewer receives and the higher cost the buyer pays.

In addition to the discovery of LED screens in the television world, NCE has broken through with the LED monitor. The LED monitor, like the LED TV screen, promises to offer the best color and clarity. Again these features are not priceless. A LED monitor offers the same features of the LCD flat panel monitor but with more accurate coloring. The high end of the LED monitor price spectrum ranges up to and over $6000. However, one positive aspect about the LED monitor is the absence of Mercury as found in fluorescent backlights.

It appears that LED has made its presence known in the world of electronics and does not intend to leave anytime soon. However, over time consumers should see reduction capabilities in the size of LED screens along with a reduction in cost.
