Is there a big difference? Are 3d tvs so amazing as well? Not really understanding all this new tv technology but need to buy one anyway. I like to watch movies and my 3 year old likes to watch nick jr. That's the extent of the tv watching in my house.


Answer
Led is a type of LCD. Old LCD uses a fluoresce light in the back ground and that is replaced with a LED light. LED is more reliable and also smaller, where the TV is the slim models. The LED is less likely to burn out as the regular LCD. The TV picture quality will last longer. The difference is mainly in brands. A Sony LCD will likely look better than say a Apex/Westinghouse etc. LED. So, a Sony/Samsung LED would look the best, but their is the Panasonic Plasmas , which look better than all of them, except Panasonic isn't as good as Sony TVs. The 3d TVs are not really worth the expense at this time, since it requires the film/source to be 3d and 3d glasses.

What is the new Samsung LED TV about?

What is the new technology behind the samsung led tvs? Does the screen actually use LED to produce the picture? If so how much better is the quality?


Answer
sorry tvtech1 is off just a little bit.
LED LCD tv's are not OLED tv's.
there is only one in the consumer market, sony makes it and it is only 11 inches, larger models are expected probably in 5 years
this is the only difference between a regular LCD and a LED LCD
all LCD tv's prior would use a white fluorescent lamp for the backlight. the problem is there is one lamp and it has to be on all the time. the tv uses filters to create blacks and shades of whites and blacks. since the light is always on, this is why LCD tv's have a lower contrast ratio. it is very difficult to filter completely and depending on the quality of the filters, colors can blend and mash together.

on the new LED LCD tv's
instead of the white lamp backlight, there is a sheet of thousands of LED's behind the front screen which provides the backlight for the tv. since the tv can control each LED(there are red, blue, and green LED's) it can turn them on and off in sections which causes the higher contrast levels and more accurate colors over a regular LCD tv.
the LED LCD's are getting on par with plasma tv's in regards to the contrast and color accuracy

the only concern in the market right now is that LED's burn out inconsistently and since the tech is fairly new, it is unknown when this will start to happen, which will cause issues with the overall picture. will it happen in 3, 5, 7, 10 years. manufactures do not know at this time
