LCD/LED

Display technology has travelled a long technological distance from the days of cathode array tube based display devices to the most modern LCD/LED/SED and plasma displays. It was only recently that the CRT TV sales worldwide were beaten by the LCD TVs signalling that the times of the CRT display are numbered and that the modern displays are being increasing adopted by the people. For the technical person, the difference between the two technologies is immense but for the consumers it is the easy-to-use and easy-to-manage nature of these appliancesthat matter the most. No wonder that most of the top names in the consumer electronics products are spending fortunes to be the leaders in the cutting edge display technologies.

For the layman who does not understand the meaning of these technology terms, the difference is there to be seen. The good old Samsung TV would be bulky since it has the picture tube in it but the new LCD /LED TVs would be slim and sleek with flat displays. And, you do not have to buy a trolley for keeping the new ones. These can be fixed on the walls. In this way, you save the considerable space for moving around. These are perfect for small spaces. Due their being slim, these are easy to carry as compared to the bulky ones. It is also a fact that the picture quality of these displays is better than the previous ones. This has largely to do with the high definition resolution levels compatibility of these displays and also with the use of the latest display technology.

While getting the modern slim TVs installed in the homes or office, the points of their placement are to be duly considered. These shall be placed at the right places on the walls. The placement shall preferably be straight for most of the viewers since these are not visually appealing when these are viewed from the side angles. This is one aspect where the CRT scores over the modern LCD/LED ones. CRT based Samsung TV will give the same picture irrespective of the place or angle from where you view it.

Plasma TVs are yet another innovation in the display technology. There are more long lasting than the LCD TV/LED TV ones. The only disadvantage that these currently face is that the impressions of the last images remain on the screen for a long time even after the TV is switched off. The companies are making efforts to get over this drawback.

There is no doubt that the modern TVs are an improvement over the others, both in terms of technology as well as user experience. It is also a fact that these are more practical to use. That is also the reason why most of the modern homes use these for setting up modern systems like the home theatre. These have also taken the wall space of organisations where these find good application in lobby, waiting rooms, visitor’s areas and other such area where the works not going on.

LCD and LED

There were times when the cathode ray tube based TVs held sway. In fact, these ruled the TV display technology till the last decade of the last century when their global sales dipped for the first time against the rising sale of the LCD TV sets. All major companies of the world, which make the consumer electronic items, including Samsung, have now shifted their focus on making the more practical, slimmer, LCD/LED TV sets which are fast replacing the outdated CRT sets. The Samsung LED TV is an improvement over the LCD TV since the former uses light emitting diode for backlighting purposes, obviating the need for a tube. The result is the emergence of the visually more appealing and wall-mountable TVs.

LCD/LED technology has made it possible for the companies to provide real life display to the users in the various modern devices that they use. Computers and mobiles are two of the most important areas where this technology finds application. Samsung Galaxy and a range of the smart phones with wide touchscreen features use the LCD/LED TV display technology. Mobiles are used for a range of picture and video based works. Whether it is the playing of the multi-media files, or browsing the internet or even viewing the pictures shot from the mobile camera, these screens provide the most real-to-life display of the photos.

The LCD TV screens in mobiles are a blessing since these provide the best viewing experience of the photos, videos and along with the high resolution cameras that these smart phones come with, the viewing never got better anytime before. When the times of the CRT based TVs were around, the LCD display was limited only to monochrome screen which glowed with one light only. Mobiles have a long way since then. With better contrast ratios and higher resolution capabilities, the picture quality does not leave much to be desired.

Samsung LED TV is more costly than the CRT TV. Further, the latter gives a better view from the side angles, which is not the case with the former. For the TV, where the screens are bigger, you might need to sit straight in order to see the pictures, images or videos. But, in mobiles, due to the comparatively smaller screen size and essentially single user usage, this visual distortion does not matter much as it does in case of LCD TV.

The major benefits of the Samsung LED TVs are their excellent audio-visual delivery, slim and sleek features and the flexibility of using these as wall mounts which occupies less space. These also form part of home theatre system since wider screens can be made using the LCD/LED technology while retaining their sleekness. This was not possible in the era of CRT TVs
This has enabled the use of these TV for public viewing, besides the home or office viewing. Today, one can see these being used in the shopping malls, stadiums, crowded markets and other outdoor places.
