Set a maximum budget you’re willing to spend.
 
LED TVs in the market today vary not only in screen size, design, and supplementary technologies but also in price. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is balance and allocate your budget accordingly. You can set a price range for your desired LED TVs, making the selection process easier and eliminating hesitation when faced with numerous attractive options.

When cost is no longer an issue, pay attention to the space where the TV will be placed. An oversized screen will not suit a small room. The viewing position is also crucial for health reasons. Thus, calculate an appropriate distance, with the maximum screen size being only 2/3 of the distance from the screen to the seating area.

Pay attention to LED backlight technology

 
LED backlight technology allows for thinner screens.

The concept of “LED TV” emerged when Samsung introduced the first LCD models using LED backlight technology, which they named accordingly. LCD pixels cannot self-emit light like Plasma or Oled screens, so LED TVs use a backlight system of LEDs either directly below the display panel or on the edges of the screen. Hence, there are two types of LED TVs: edge-lit and backlit.

You can choose between these two backlight technologies. Backlit LED TVs have a thickness comparable to a standard LCD, while edge-lit LEDs are thinner due to the LED system being placed around the screen’s edges. Edge-lit models are more fashionable, achieving minimal thickness, sometimes as slim as 25mm.

However, backlit LED TVs offer uniform brightness across the entire screen, whereas edge-lit LEDs cannot achieve this, resulting in a slightly blurrier center image compared to the surrounding edges.

Consider the contrast ratio


 
A higher contrast ratio yields better image quality.

The contrast ratio enhances the image quality, making it more realistic. Accompanying this ratio are two capabilities for controlling dark areas of the image on LED TVs. LED screens come with two new features for darkening images: partial (local dimming) and total (global dimming).

Global dimming technology allows the entire LED backlight system to gradually darken or turn off simultaneously, with the contrast ratio synchronized across the screen. However, it only achieves a medium level and does not produce deep blacks.

On the other hand, local dimming technology offers better image quality by controlling the darkening of specific areas or pixels. The LED system adjusts or turns off accordingly, resulting in an extremely high contrast ratio and deeper blacks.

Therefore, opt for LED TVs with partial image darkening capabilities, as this will optimize color accuracy and image quality.

Compare similar products

Now that you know a bit about the design and some of the functions and technologies of LED TVs, it’s time to visit stores or electronics centers to see the actual models and picture quality. Choose a few models that catch your eye, research and compare their specifications, and read customer reviews before making a decision.

Make the purchase

From the selection of LED TVs you’ve considered, you’ve likely found one that suits your preferences and requirements. However, be mindful of the price range to ensure you select the most suitable product within your family’s budget.

LED backlight technology allows for thinner screens. There are two types: backlit and edge-lit. Backlit LED TVs have a thickness similar to standard LCDs, while edge-lit LEDs are thinner with LEDs placed around the screen’s edges. Edge-lit models are more stylish but may have slightly blurrier center images due to non-uniform brightness.

A higher contrast ratio enhances image quality, making it more realistic. LED TVs offer two technologies for controlling dark areas: global dimming and local dimming. Global dimming darkens or turns off the entire LED backlight system simultaneously, achieving a medium level. Local dimming, on the other hand, controls specific areas or pixels, resulting in a higher contrast ratio and deeper blacks for better image quality.

Comparing similar products helps you make an informed decision. Visit stores to see actual models and picture quality, then choose a few that catch your eye.
