Simply LED TV Wall mounts

LED TV is the latest thing to hit the consumer electronics market, offering real change to the nature of televisions and providing a range of great new features for consumers.

LED backlights are now used in a range of displays, including billboards, monitors, industrial equipment and portable devices. Their low power consumption is particularly suited to battery powered displays, allowing significantly longer usage from one charge.

The key difference between an LCD TV and an LED TV is the backlight structure. While an LCD TV uses a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) as a light source, an LED TV uses light emitting diodes (LED’s), which are more power efficient and more capable at delivering a realistic graphic display.

Despite their lower power consumption, LED TV’s also tend to be brighter than LCD TV’s and many have non-reflective screens, making them particularly good in rooms with plenty of direct sunlight as the image stands out better.

LED’s have many advantages over the LCD TV and plasma TV counterparts, the most apparent of which is their size. LED TV’s are among the thinnest displays ever made, and significantly lighter than a TV LCD, making them easier to mount and more attractive on walls as they don’t protrude so far into the room.

The thinness of LED TV’s is due to the way the LED light bulbs are placed around the LCD screen, either behind it, known as backlit LED, or around the edges, known as edge-lit LEDs. Edge-lit LED screens are the thinner of the two and as they contain fewer LEDs, they tend to be less expensive. However, backlit LEDs can create deeper blacks using a technique known as ‘local dimming’, where LEDs are shut off, preventing unwanted light shining through.

LED TV’s also tend to have a better range of colors as they use red, green and blue lights to produce more realistic color combinations and greater colour depth, as well as a better contrast ratio than LCD TV’s.

LED light bulbs also have a very long lifespan and are expected to last for more than 50,000 hours without degradation – that’s 5 years of constant tv watching. They’re also better for the environment as they don’t contain mercury, making them easier to dispose of and more recyclable.

However, LEDs can suffer in the viewing angle area, and often lose colour and black levels when viewing at acute angles over 30 degrees. However, this issue is being addressed by the manufacturers and many are using in-plane switching panels, so keep an eye out for those when choosing your display.

As with any consumer product, there are pros and cons that will need to be weighed up by you, the consumer. However, a TV LED does have some distinct advantages over LCD and plasma TVs and for those they should be seriously considered. Of course these advantages tend to come at a price, but as more consumers jump on the LED bandwagon prices will fall, and it will only be a matter of time before they drop into your price range.
