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.

LED televisions are a great improvement that tries to solve these problems. LED televisions have LED lamps for back lighting. LED lamps have become popular in flash lights, Christmas lights and even home lighting. They produce a very bright, very white light that is of high quality. The lamps are very long lasting and do not have color gaps that exist in fluorescent lights. When added to a LCD television, the set can now show many more colors. LED sets are among the thinnest of all televisions available.

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.

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 offer large screens without the bulk or problems of projection televisions. They are wonderful for watching television but even better for sports and movies.

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.

Some people do not have it within themselves to give a perfect score, even if they are extremely satisfied with a product. Read the report to get their true opinion of a product.

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. - 23812
