A LED backlight LCD TV is more commonly known as an LED TV but isn't really the TV that all the big name brands try and portray. You will know a true LED display when you see one. A LED backlight LCD TV is simply an LCD TV that uses LED back lighting rather than the CCFLs that standard LCD TVs use. The way the back lighting works is actually pretty cool. It is a type of illumination that doesn't actually produce the light. Instead the LCDs need some type of special lighting source or ambient light in order for the picture to display.
The LED backlight LCD TV could really be used with any light source that will correctly work with the LED back lighting. HCFLs, CCFLs, ELPs, LEDs and incandescent light bulbs are all light sources use in these new modern TVS. The LEDs that are place in the panel can be a few different forms. The most common form is white edged LEDs that fit around the rim of the screen and spread the light evenly with a diffusion panel. The reason why this is the most common form is because it is the only one fit for a thin model TV and that is one of the most popular style options today.
Another form is using red RGB LEDs that fit behind the panel instead and is great for a higher color clarification. The final form is full array and that is when the LEDs are behind the screen however, they do not have the ability to brighten or dim on their own. It is good to know these forms when shopping for your new LED backlight LCD TV.
One of the most beneficial features of the LED backlight LCD TV is the fact that there is way less environmental pollution when you dispose of it compared to some of the older TVs. These TVs are going to be the more expensive ones in the stores and on online when you are shopping but there is a silver lining. An LED backlight LCD TV actually uses about 30% less energy than a traditional LCD TV so you could end up saving more money in the end.
Sony is definitely one of the big TV name brands that really try to make TVs with every form of LED setup possible. They have produced TVs with RGB and white edged LEDs so help give their customers more options. An LED backlight LCD TV really is a great choice if not only for the energy efficiency but because they tend to have a much long life than the standard LCD TVs. Plus, LED production does not use Mercury like the CCFL LCD production does which is much better for the environment. You can go a little greener without sacrificing those Sunday football games!
I have worked in a TV manufacturing plant for over twenty years now and in my opinion a LED backlight LCD TV really is one of the best choices when you understand them.
