LED vs LCD tv

What strikes me as the most important difference between an LED vs an LCD tv is the weight. Sure there are the differences in power usage (LED 40% better) and LED televisions longer life, but we still have to move these hdtv's around from time to time. I personally own a 55 inch Samsung LED television. I was over at my sisters house the other day and she asked me to move her LCD tv so we could hook up the Nintento Wii. I nearly through my back out! LED televisions weigh at least half a comperable LCD television. Below be have some good deals as well as a table looking into the similarities and differences of LED vs LCD tv's

LED televisions do have some distinct advantages vs a comparable LCD tv. Price and Environmental Factors are the two main differences. I have outlined the facts about LED televisions and LCD televisions in the tables below.

The first difference that strikes me is the price.  Currently LED televisions are about 20% more than an LCD tv. However the price gap has been narrowing and will continue to do so. An LED tv uses light emitting diodes ad its source of light for the television. An LED tv uses these diodes to create a much more vibrant and colorful image. The blacks are truly black (not dark gray) and the colors are more realistic vs an LCD tv. LED tvs can achieve a contrast ratio of up to 500,000:1. They also in general have a higher refresh rate which will help when watching shows with motion such as sports or movies.

LED FACTS

State of the Art Picture Quality
About 40% Less Energy usage than a same sized LCD TV
Mercury Free and a VERY Thin Design
Currently LED TV's Cost about 20-30% more

 

LCD FACTS

Good Picture Quality, but Images may "burn" in Display
Energy Costs run Between $150-200 per year to operate an LCD
Mercury IS used in Manufacturing Process
Cost is the Cheaper of the Two Choices

 

 

The second major difference between LED and LCD televisions is the environmental effect.  LCD televisions use mercury in the manufacturing process versus the LED tv which does not! Mercury is very bad for the environment. Mercury is also used in making solar cells but that is off topic. An LED hdtv will also use about 40% LESS power than the same size LCD tv. Power usage is the dark secret of all the new line of HDTVs. An LCD or plasma television cost between $10-15 per month to operate. That is quite high particularly if you have more than one. The tree hugger in me comes down firmly on the side of LED televisions.

The thickness and therefore the weight is the last major difference of LED vs LCD tvs.  LED televisions are about one third the thickness of the same size LCD tv. Correspondingly, the weight is about half. This could come into play when deciding how to mount your new HDTV.

It is my belief that LED televisions are vastly superior to an LCD tv. In one to two years time you will look back and be happy that you got the LED tv. I hope the article about LED vs LCD tv's helpful, and have a blessed day!
