Will LED Technology Replace LCD in Televisions

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.

With the introduction of Samsung's LED Full HD television sets B7000 and B6000, light-emitting diodes replace the obsolete CCFL or cold cathode fluorescent lamps as the main light source. As a result, extremely high contrast and slimmer depths introduce a more pleasurable viewing experience. Samsung's LED technologies TVs are also more environmental friendly as they allow homes to save more energy. Unlike other backlight technologies, LED television does not use mercury, minimizing hazards in the environment and the home.

Samsung's LED TV's are also lending a hand in the fight to improve our environment by being energy-friendly, and lowering consumers' power bills. They are also more environmentally friendly to dispose of, as they don't use mercury, and therefore contribute less harmful chemicals to our environment at the end of their lifespan than the older model televisions do. LCD TV's only have a lifespan of about sixty-thousand hours. Compared to LED tv's forth-thousand viewing hours, it doesn't seem so great. But, because LED televisions save so much money in power consumption, it definitely ends up being worth it in the long run! LED tv's can, on the small scale, lower televisions' energy consumption by nearly 40% when compared to similarly sized LCD high-def tvs.

An amazing aspect of the new LED televisions is that no matter what size screen you get, the television is only 1.2 inches thick. When you see one, you will be utterly shocked at how thin they actually are. This size makes LED televisions perfect for the person who wants to mount the television on the wall, but is concerned that the television will be too heavy.

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.
