LED vs LCD, Which is Better?

A perfect Indian home needs to ensure all its members got smartphone and they must also follow their favorite shows/sports on LCD/LED Tv.

An LCD/LED TV is very much an integral part of the smartphone generation more so because the orthodox box/CRT panel TVs are no longer manufactured or available in the market.

While most of us are familiar with abbreviations like LED/LCD, most are unfamiliar with the expansion and the technology behind those abbreviations.

The LED screens that you see around are actually LCDs, and the term "LED" is the invention of Samsung's marketing department.






Samsung TVs deploy a series of Light Emitting Diodes ( LED), the same that are used in Torches and Alarm Clocks. The basic idea is to backlight the LCD panel with LEDs. The catch here is that Samsing isnt the only company to use this.


LCD technology has been existing ever seen those times in the early 70s when digital watches were born. Liquid Crystal Display is more of liquid sandwitched between two plates which changes color when current is applied to it.

While we had black and white LCDs till the late 90s, color LCDs are less than two decades old. Typically in an LCD TV, TV you have a polarised filter, followed by a protective glass layer, followed by the LCD sheet, and then a light source at the back.

In an LED backlighting, White and RGB are the two main options used. White LED is very similar to CCFL and is meant to simulate the natural light of the sun.




The Sony Bravia KDL-46XBR45 is an example of a television that used RGB LEDs as backlight.


When it comes right down to it, the main difference between LCD and LED is that LED televisions are going to look better than other LCD screens.

That's not to downplay how good an LCD HDTV can look, since the picture quality can be stunning, but there's no denying that there is, indeed, a difference between them. That said, there are other differences worth taking into account. LED televisions can be considerably thinner than LCDs, even coming as thin as 0.3-inches. This, however, when mixed with the clearer image, means that buying an LED television is going to cost more than an LCD TV.

So now you know the difference between LCD and LED. There are other differences between them, and even differences within them, but hopefully, now that you know the main things that make LCD and LED screens different, you can better decide which type of television is right for you.
