Now, what is LED means? What is has to do with the latest innovation of televisions? LED means Light Emitting Diode. It is an electronic light source. It was actually invented back in 1920’s. At the early stage this light source only emitted low density red light. Now with the technology advancement, they are using the ultraviolet and infrared wave length to produce a very high density lighting source. This is how the latest generation of LED televisions can generates crystal clear pictures.
The advantages of using the (LED) Back Lighting display from the current (CCFL) Cold Cathode Florescent Lamp lighting display, the LED consumes less energy to operate. According to Samsung, their Led televisions consume about 40% less energy usage compare to the conventional lighting televisions. That is really a huge amount of energy reduction. It can fire up the screen much faster, last longer,smaller or thinner for the display and the most important part, the highest picture clarity of all.
The disadvantage of the LED back lighting technology are relatively a lot more expensive because it requires more precise current and heat management conmpare to the current CCFL lighting display.
Do you have any idea what is the 1080p means when you come across this term when you shop for a television set. It describes as the Pixels and it is used for measuring the television’s display’s resolution. Technically, a pixel is a very small component of digital image. The higher the Pixels are, the finer the resolution is and here we are talking about the picture clarity from a television display. The highest resolution televisions that you can get in the market currently is 1080p. So, when you are looking or intent to buy a LCD, Plasma or and Led television, make sure you are getting the right one. Some of the televisions are still using 750p. If you got one with 750p resolution HDTV, then you won’t be getting the clearest and sharpest image available televisions on the market. This lower resolution HDTV will definitely cost less and sometimes this is the problem and it will get you caught.
Digital Camera is another example that we can talk about. Let say you own a 3 Megapixels digital camera which means 3 Million Pixels. If the resoution of the camera is 640×480 display, by multiplying 640×480 will give you 307,200 pixels.
Another Samsung’s technology breakthrough or innovation with the “OLED” transparent display. They call it the Organic Light Emitting Display. The self illuminating diode. It doesn’t need any back lighting at all compare to the current LED and LCD back lighting display. Just think what kind of energy consumption that can be reduce when this display roll out from the manufacturing plant one day.
HDTV is a short term of high definition television. Picture clarity wise for a television will be based on the HDTV set that you wanted to buy. For example, 1080p resolution is the best or the highest that you can get today. With this you can watch the clearest picture that money can buy. Well, this is only for the television itself. What if you want to watch DVD and wanted to get the same resolution out from the current DVD format? You won’t be able to get the full use of the 1080p resolution from it. This is because the current DVD format could not perform as well as the next generation of DVD players that are already out in the market called the “Blue Ray Disc” players. If you are looking for high quality pictures and sound system, the Blue Ray Disc will be the right choice for you and for the HDTV set that you have bought so far.
