LCD and LED modern advances are some of the most helpful innovative developments that man has developed in the last few decades. The benefits that they offer over older forms of lighting technology are staggering. Plus they are also more energy and cost-efficient. These innovations consume 60% less electricity than their incandescent or fluorescent counterparts, and they don't use filaments which burn out after some time. Due to this, they can last longer compared to others.
This technology is commonly applied in TVs that we see these days. But one thing a lot of people wish they understood is the difference between LCD and LED TV's. This article will help those who been considering buying one of these, but would like more information so you could tell which one is better.

LCD TVs
LCD television sets are lighted using traditional fluorescent bulbs that are buried under a thin but solid sheet of glass. The problem with this is that the bulbs used have a short lifespan. These are bulbs with tungsten filaments that burn out after a period of time. So when these filaments burn out, they have to be replaced. This is not a good thing because a user will have to keep spending for those bulbs to be replaced. One more problem with LCD TV's is that when you want a larger screen size, you also need to put in larger fluorescent bulbs so the images can be evenly displayed. Consequently, LCD TV's with a large screen size are also bulky to accommodate the larger fluorescent bulbs inside.
Light Emitting Diodes Televisions
These can be considered more advantageous than LCD tv's because they run on LED lights which normally do not need replacements with proper use. These lights are also very small and can be placed right behind the screen glass, thus making the picture more vivid and sharper. This also means that no matter how the screen size should be, this television will be as slim as it can get. This is for the reason that LED lights do not use bulky fluorescent bulbs like those in LCD tv's. Another advantage of LED over LCD technology is its efficiency. These only need to have the gases inside of them excited by electricity and the photons produced will be providing the lighting requirements of the TV and not electricity itself.
