I love the fact TV's these days are advertised as "LED" when in fact they're the same LCD's that were in the old ones... They never advertised the old ones as "Cold Cathode"! I suspect it's a marketing ploy based on OLED devices, I wonder how many people think that's what they're getting? |

So out of curiosity, why are some called LED and some advertised as LCD ? There must be a difference? Also, all those advertised as LED are much much thinner and use lower voltage than any advertised as LCD. Tbh, they are cheaper than they use to be so I don`t feel like I`ve paid more for an LED... I bought it because of size, weight and price...of course a few online reviews. |

Chris, AFAIK,in many there's no real difference in the screen itself - they all use similar technology to turn the pixel-sized colour filters on&off. As Kwackers said, where the difference lies is in the backlight - older flat screen displays used varieties of fluorescent or 'cold cathode' tubes; whereas those being advertised as "LED" use LEDs to provide the backlighting which is then filtered by the LCD panel..... Tis just marketing - "LED" is the cool new thing - strange then that I can remember the thrill of (after several attempts) getting a Sinclair "Black Watch" LED watch to finally work, back in about 1975 .. :scratch: Dave |
