What to Look for When Buying an LED TV

With so many options available today, deciding what TV to buy can be a daunting task. LED TVs have been a popular choice for many, but before you part with your hard-earned cash, there are several things worth considering.

Here at Cheap LED TVs, we stock a huge range of TVs to suit all rooms, budgets and size requirements, we decided to lend a helping hand in making the right choice for you. Here is what you need to look out for if you are thinking of buying an LED TV.

What is an LED TV?

An LED TV is a type of LCD TV which uses light-emitting diodes (LED) to backlight the display. This differs from conventional LCDs because, unlike the regular CCFLs (cold cathode fluorescent lights), LEDs have lower power requirements, converting power to light more efficiently and meaning there is less light leakage – the cause of image fuzziness.

There are three different types of LED technology to choose from:

  • Edge-lit or Edge Lighting LED – is the most common of the three. White LEDs are situated around the edge of the screen, with a diffusion panel used to display the image evenly across. These types of TV can be very thin, but they don’t display darker and black tones to the same depth as other types of TV and you usually find that the edges of the screen are lighter than the centre.
  • Dynamic RGB LED – this type of TV has red, blue and green LEDs placed directly behind the screen, which combine to create more vivid colours. However, not all colours are possible and browns and pinks are still not displayed in their true shade.
  • FullArray LED – rows of LED are positioned directly behind the screen panel, similar to RGB LED displays. These display blackness with more resolution but can create a potential ‘halo’ effect in light images pitched against a dark background.

LED TVs can come in HD (high definition) if it has a high resolution. As LED TVs use light-emitting diodes, they differ slightly.

What are the Benefits of an LED TV?

Buying a TV really comes down to taste, budget and what you want it to look like in your room. If you are a movie lover who likes to engross yourself in a true HD cinema experience from your very own sofa and budget is not an issue, 4K LED TVs might be a better fit for you. Our 43 JVC LT-43C860 4K Ultra HD Freeview HD Smart LED TV, for instance, offers 4K Ultra HD picture and a plethora of content options to keep you entertained. It also comes with high-quality screening and impressive audio capabilities.

However, film lovers with a lower budget don’t need to worry. LED TVs are good for films too. Just make sure you choose the ones with direct LEDs, as the dimming attributes in these models offer a better viewing experience and more vivid colours. Our 32 JVC LT-32C345 HD TV is an ideal choice for watching films, delivering crisp, clear images.

If you like to watch on-demand TV, there is no need to worry either. Many LED TVs are of the smart variety and will connect to your favourite online viewing platforms. Take our 32 JVC LT-32C661 HD Ready Freeview HD Smart LED TV for instance, which offers smarter viewing with BBC iPlayer and Netflix so you can watch your favourite films and box sets. Not only that, it is also internet enabled, so you can browse the web from the comfort of your own sofa.

But if what you need is a regular TV because budget is a little tight or just to put in the kid’s room, a regular LED is top of the line and will do everything you want it to do for a very competitive price. It will look nice hanging on the wall or sitting on top of a TV stand too. Our 32 Samsung T32E390SX HD TV is the perfect choice.
