LED Television Reviews - Making The Right Choice

By John Leonard

As with any new technology, it is important to do some research before you buy an LED TV. LED television reviews will tell you the good, the bad and the ugly about LED TV. By reading these LED television reviews, you may decide that you want to go ahead with your purchase or to go in a different direction. Good reviews are a key to being satisfied with your purchase.

LCD televisions were nice for what they offered. The have a relatively flat screen and can hang on a wall so they take up very little floor space. The pictures are good, although they cannot rival the plasma television.

The back lighting source was the main problem with LCD televisions. LCD televisions were back lit with fluorescent tubes. Those tubes begin to lose their brightness after a few years. The lack of brightness means that pictures loose quality. There is no provision for replacing the tubes so the entire set needs replacement every three to four years. Additionally, fluorescent light is poor light for the many colors needed by television.

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.

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.

The final difference is that with LED lighting, television sets can be made much thinner than the three inch deep sets made possible with LCD technology. Sets may soon be available that are only one-half of an inch thick. These sets will lend themselves even more to wall mounting and may need no television stand on which to sit.

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. - 29967
