LED Will Replace LCD Technology

By Patty Johonson

Status lights and indicator lights were the first place LED technology was used. However, over the past several years, technology has advanced in a way that LED can now be used for general lighting needs. Samsung was one of the first companies to use LED (light-emitting diodes) for television purposes. This advance in technology is the new rave in the television world.

Samsung discovered a way to use LED in Full HD television sets as the main source of light, in place of the now ancient CCFL or cold cathode fluorescent lamps. Due to this advancement, people can enjoy higher contrasts and slimmer television sets.

LED television has about 40,000 hours' worth of viewing hours in its life span compared to LCD TV's sixty thousand viewing hours. However, purchasing LED-powered television saves an average viewer about five years' worth of power consumption. On a smaller scale, LED TVs reduce energy consumption by up to 40% as compared to LCD high-definition television of similar size. Anyone interested in saving energy should take a look at these television sets.

One of the features that makes these LED televisions so incredible is that they are only 1.2 inches thick, regardless of how large the screen is. Your jaw might just fall off when you see exactly how thin these tv's are! For people who are worried about their flat screens falling off of their walls from the weight, these LED tv's are the perfect solution.

LED technology captures true-to-life colors and produces darker shades and crisper lights, creating a stronger balance between bright and dark colors. Samsung has only made their LED products better with the introduction of Auto Motion Plus, which reduces the blurriness or shakiness between each picture as they move across your screen. Check one out at your local Best Buy! And see the difference for yourself. - 31376
