These days mainly two types of Displays are very famous among people. These are LED and LCD displays. LED stands for Light Emitting Diodes displays and LCD are Liquid Crystal Displays. Due to presence of these 2 different kind of displays a person thinking to purchase a new display often gets confused between the two and is unable to decide which one to choose. Today i will discuss about difference between these display devices. We could cover all the basic differences between led and lcd displays.
LED TVs are the newer variant of displays available in the market. Since LED TVs are newer technology displays they are considered to be better than lcd but what actual difference is there between led and lcd is known to very few people. So here we discuss the basic differences between the two technologies.
Contrast/Black Levels
Led displays have better contrast ratio as compare to the LCD display. Major drawbacks for a LCD display is that it is unable to create the dark areas of the images on the screen.Due to this reason there is a loss of image quality and detail. Whereas LED displays produces better black areas which in tun produces better contrast and more detailed image in the dark areas.
Color Accuracy
Color accuracy of led display is much better than lcd display. Though the difference is not very large but it is still notable. So if you are looking for better color accuracy then led display should be your first choice.
Viewing angles
Led displays have much better viewing angles than the lcd display. In case of LCD display beyond the 30 degree from the center the contrast ratio of the image start to diminish. LED display do not have any such limitation and they have much larger viewing angle.
Sizes Available
LCD displays are available in the size range from 15inches to 65 inches whereas LED display are currently available between 17inches and 70inches.
Video playback
LED display have much faster response rate time as compare to LCD display. Due to faster motion response rate there is no problems such as motion lag and in fast action video also blurring of images do not take place.
Power Consumption
Usually people think newer technology would consume lesser power but this is not the case with led and lcd displays. Local dimming LED display consume more power than LCD display. Sounds shocking but it is true. Therefore, the tradeoff seems to be between economizing your energy bill and better picture quality. But the edge lit LED displays use less power than an LCD of the same size. Best part is there is no screen burn in problem in case of led displays so they can be used for computer displays as well.
Final Conclusion
If you are looking for better picture quality and better features then LED display should be your first choice. If you can compromise a bit on quality then you can go for LCD display. Usually you would find LED displays to be more expensive then LCD displays but with increase price you get better quality. So if budget is a problem for you then try getting a smaller size led display rather than bigger size lcd display.
