Techniques

An LED-backlit TV

[edit]Edge-LEDs

This method of back-lighting allows LED-backlit displays to be extremely thin. The light is diffused uniformly across the screen by a special panel.

[edit]Full-array LEDs

Many brands use LED backlighting technology, which can offer benefits over CCFL LCDs of reduced energy consumption, better contrast and brightness, greater color range, more rapid response to changes in scene and more accurate image rendering.[3]

[edit]Dynamic “Local Dimming” LEDs

This method of backlighting allows local dimming of specific areas of darkness on the screen. This can show truer blacks, whites and PRs[4] at much higher dynamic contrast ratios by dimming or brightening the backlight locally, at the cost of less detail in small, bright objects on a dark background, such as star fields or shadow detail.[5]

What’s the Difference Between an LED and LCD TV?


Question: What’s the Difference Between an LED and LCD TV?
Answer:
There are a lot of things to get confused about when buying a new TV, but few topics have bewildered consumers as much as the use of LED technology. If I had my say, the phrase LED TV would be banned from future discussions because consumer-grade LED sets are simply a different type of LCD TV. Baffled? Don’t be. Every LCD TV requires a source to illuminate its pixels, and in so called LED TVs, that source is a series of LEDs. In other LCD sets, the source is usually a series of fluorescent tubes.
Manufacturers make a big deal out of LED backlighting because LCD sets using the technology are generally more energy efficient. There are other benefits as well, but to understand them we must take a closer look at the implementation of LED backlighting. Currently, LED-backlit LCD TVs use one of two systems.
  • Edge-lit: LEDs are placed along the edges of the LCD panel

  • Full array: Rows of LEDs are placed behind the entirety of the LCD panel

    Which is Better? Edge-lit or Full Array?

    Each system has advantages and disadvantages, and the one that’s right for you depends on your needs and desires. Edge-lit sets are typically much thinner and lighter than those that use a full array because the lighting source takes up less space. Full-array sets are thicker and heavier, but they make up for that with local dimming, which means one section of the LED panel can be dimmed while other sections remain bright. That improves blacks and contrast in the resulting picture.
    In short, sets that use full-array backlighting tend to produce the best picture of all LCD TVs. Those that use edge lighting sacrifice picture quality but are the lightest and thinnest TVs on the market.

    Is LED Worth It?

    Before you run out and buy an LCD TV with LED backlighting, you should consider one important factor – price. LED-backlit TVs are great, but they’re still more expensive than their fluorescent-lit peers. If picture quality is extremely important to you, I suggest spending a little more money to enjoy the benefits of full-array LED backlighting. If you’re willing to pay a premium to have the thinnest TV on the block, edge-lit is the way to go. If, on the other hand, you’re a bargain shopper, you will probably be able to satisfy yourself – and your wallet – with a well-made fluorescent-lit set.
