LED Television Reviews - Making The Right Choice

By John Leonard

When new technology is released, we often need help in making a choice. LED televisions are very new technology and the reviews on the sets help you to decide if this is the set for you. After reading the reviews, you may decide you cannot live without one of these new sets, or that your older set will serve just fine. Good LED television reviews help to make satisfied customers.

LCD television technology is not that old. It gave us thinner screen televisions that could hang on the wall with little floor space. Pictures were good, although they could never be true rivals to the plasma television.

The main problem with an LCD television is the source of back lighting. In the traditional LCD television, the back lighting was provided by fluorescent tubes. These tubes begin to dim after three to four years and the picture loses quality. Even when new, fluorescent lighting does not offer the full range of color that is needed for quality television pictures.

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.

In addition, LED lamps and televisions use less energy. Saving energy is important to everyone and could mean lower power bills to the consumer.

LED lighting makes very thin televisions sets possible. It is possible to make thirty six inch televisions that are less than one inch thick using this technology. The sets seem to become thinner with each new generation and are easily wall mounted doing away with the necessity for an entertainment center.

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.

When reading LED television reviews, many people are tempted to just look at numerical or star ratings. It is important when looking at these reviews to go beyond the ratings and see why people make the ratings that they do. There are some people that will write reviews that never give a bad rating to anything they review as far as the numbers go. However by reading their review you may find other very valuable information the will help with your decision.

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.

Remember you need to actually view a product before purchase. The real opinion that will matter about a LED television review is your own. If you do not like the set, then read more reviews and check out more sets until you find the perfect one just for you. - 30542
