Television has completely changed the way we view the world.
With passage of time and enhancement of technology, the instrument of television itself has undergone gradual changes.
This is precisely what has led to the initiation of different genres of TV's, like plasma, LED and LCD. However, when one steps out to buy a TV, one tends to get baffled by the variety which prevails in the market.
More so, the line of distinction between LCD and LED TV’s seems blurring. At this juncture, it is of primary importance to know the difference between the two. This differentiation has been briefly explained as follows:
LCD TV’s make use of florescent backlighting which is primarily responsible for their longer life span that ranges from somewhere between 30 to 35 years. They consume lesser amount of power than regular televisions and are available in a variety of sizes. Nevertheless, everything has its disadvantages. LCD TV’s are known for their low contrast levels and abrupt viewing angles. In fact, many consider them to be the worst of all TV screens.
LED TV’s make use of similar technology as LCD’s with a single difference - their source of backlight illumination is not florescent- it is LED. Rather, they are considered to be next in line to their predecessors LCD’s. Not only is their picture quality dynamic in nature, they consume much less amount of power as compared to the LCD’s. With a broad viewing angle, they can even be placed on the walls- the viewing experience would still remain excellent. Though, they are much more reliable- they are hugely expensive.
There was a time when you could either hear or read, but with the introduction of television, a perfect blend of the audio and visual media has come together. It is time to make the best use of advancing technology in the home entertainment world.
