Help buying new tv, LCD vs LED?

Jordan C

Hi, I am about to move into my first home with my girlfriend and we are wanting to buy a new flatscreen tv for our living room. We are going to be skint for the next few months at least so we want something of high quality to keep us entertained during these months.

We have decided that we want a Samsung HD TV and were all set to buy a 40 inch LCD Samsung from Amazon for a really good price.

However we were in PC world and noticed that there was a similar model of LED edge light for about a £100 more. We looked at both TV's side by side and we felt that the LED had a slightly better picture and we were very impressed by how thin the actual tv was.

So we are asking all you technology whizzes for help to decide what is the best TV to buy.

Here is our criteria: -

-The TV must be HD
- Have freeview installed as standard
- 4 HDMI ports
- Be able to stream movies from pc to tv
- Good standard of picture and sound
- budget of between £400 - £600

Also the two models we are swithering on are:-

LCD - Samsung LE40C580 40-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p Allshare LCD TV with Freeview HD

LED - Samsung UE40C5100 40-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p 50Hz Slim LED TV with Freeview


All help and tips on what to look for are much appreciated!

Answer
1 ) LED TV ( LCD-LED BACK LIGHT ) vs LCD TV ( LCD-CCFL BACK LIGHT ) .
LED TV is REFINE - improvement from LCD -CCFL , mush better in pictures quality / colour display / brightness / contrast / viewing angle, use 30 % less energy compare to LCD TV but also cost more.
2 ) As an world largest TV manufactures , Samsung TV ( LCD/LED/PLASMA ) always provide quality / reliability also reasonable in prices.
3 ) LE40C580 / UE40C5100 bout meet you requirement - built in DVB-T digital tuner / 4 HDMI ports
/ PC in-put / Good standard of picture and sound .
4 ) Advice . both are standard basic level 40 inc FULL HD 1080 P big screen LCD / LED TV . with " slow " response time any only 50 HZ refresh rate . basically - no problems to provide sound good quality pictures for " general movies ".* of course UE40C5100 significant better performance in some area , However , both are not suite fast moving image - sports movies-soccer and games. it cause " motion blur " and very uncomfortable to you eye. if you like sports movies-soccer and games , you should look for upper range Samsung models with 100 HZ refresh rate / Motion Plus models , that cost a little more but consider worth for it, because in return - you get much more smooth pictures.
BTW , if you don't watch sports movies / play games . the above models are really sound good pictures quality .

im buying tv i need to know

Answer
An led TV uses an led lighting system. This allows the TV to run cooler, be more energy efficient, and last longer than its conventionally lit counterpart. The leds also allow for a slimmer profiled housing, and allows the lighting to be changed more locally within the screen, giving better color production and truer blacks. The trade off is that because the leds are still fairly new, they tend to cost more than the regular LCD TVs.
