LED Television Reviews - Making The Right Choice

By John Leonard

When considering purchase of new technology, it is important that you research before you buy. LED television reviews will help you to decide if these televisions are right for your. Reading the reviews may also help you to decide to go another direction also. Finding the right review may be necessary to be satisfied with the purchase you make.

Older LCD televisions were a vast improvement in size over picture tube or projection sets. They take up much less room. They are almost flat so floor space is freed up. Pictures are good, but could never rival a plasma television.

The back light was the main problem with LCD televisions. In these first sets, florescent tubes provided the back light. These tubes tend to become dim in three to four years and cause the set to have to be replaced. Fluorescent tubes also do not produce a full color range, so some colors are less bright than they should have been to produce the best picture.

The LED television attempts to solve many of these problems. The only real difference in the LED television is the source of back light. LED lamps have become popular in home lighting, Christmas lamps and flash lights. They use very little energy, have a very long life and produce a very bright white light. Some of the home lamps are said to have a twenty year life expectancy. LED lamps do not have the color gaps of florescent tubes. This gives the set a full range of color for television viewing. The problem with LCD televisions was not the LCDs but the florescent lamps.

LED lamps consume less energy than their florescent counterparts. The lower energy usage will eventually make a difference in the total amount of energy consumed by our country.

The final difference is that with LED lighting, television sets can be made much thinner than the three inch deep sets made possible with LCD technology. Sets may soon be available that are only one-half of an inch thick. These sets will lend themselves even more to wall mounting and may need no television stand on which to sit.

LED televisions allow you to have large screens without the size of projection televisions. Their clear pictures are great for football games or movies as well as regular television viewing.

Know how to read television reviews? Numerical ratings mean little without the actual reviews. See why people make the ratings that they make. Beware of people that give good ratings when they do not like a product. You can find extremely important information by reading the rating in full.

Others may give very low ratings but may have based their ratings on a poor experience with a retailer and not the actual product. Once again, it is important to know why the ratings were given. Different numerical ratings mean different things to different people.

Always take time to actually view a television before purchase. Even if you purchase online, visit a showroom to see the product in action. Then you can know if it is the right product for you. - 30542
