LED TV Buying Guide

LED (Light Emitting Diode) backlighting is all the rage in the manufacture of LCD televisions these days.

Though technically they are still LCD TVs, the term LED TV is being used to describe these new models.


There are different LED backlighting models available. Some LED Tvs are using what is termed "local dimming" which is a panel of LED lights behind the screen that can be controlled individually or in banks to improve the contrast capabilities of the TV.

Others are using LED edge lighting which is banks of LEDs around the edge of the screen, this allows for some amazingly thin LED TVs. Check back here for more of our LED TV content as we publish it.
