When it comes to flat screen TVs you have three main choices: LCD, LED and Plasma. Whether replacing an old, worn out TV or just deciding it is time for an upgrade, it is worth it to look into the different types of flat screen televisions and decide which one is best for you. Each of these styles may look similar when they are not switched on, but the way they operate inside can have a big impact on your viewing experience.
For example, LCD and Plasma televisions both use a fluorescent system to light the screen. The problem with this is that sometimes light leaks around the crystal diodes inside which turns the blacks on the screen to a dark gray. This effect is caused by the fluorescent tubes always being powered on. The end result is a slightly fuzzy looking image when viewed by the human eye.
The fluorescent lights inside LCD and Plasma TVs also are not able to produce a rich number of colors, despite the fact that the liquid crystal diodes inside are capable of producing a full spectrum. A backlit LED television on the other hand is capable of a much richer variety of color, this is where backlit LEDs have a clear advantage over other style of flat panel televisions.
LED televisions use less electricity than TVs that utilize a fluorescent lighting system, so this does make them less expensive in the long run. LED TVs have two different lighting arrangements: the aforementioned backlit method, and a set-up where the lights are placed along the edges of the screen itself. Both of these methods of lighting have their own pros and cons.
LED TVs with edge lighting are light-weight and thin, but the lights are always on just like fluorescent systems and despite the fact they use diodes to create light the black colors on the screen are still not as deep and rich as backlit LED sets. The backlit models have that sharp, rich black color but they are not as thin as the edge lit models. But when it comes to having to absolute best, sharpest image a backlit LED TV is definitely the way to go. It is the prime choice of many serious TV and movie watching consumers.
