LCD, Plasma and LED – What's the difference?
The last 10 years have seen TV technology advance by leaps and bounds, and three of the latest platforms that redefine viewing experience are LCD, Plasma and LED. Following is an overview of the three technologies and how they differ from each other.
LCD televisions: LCD, or Liquid Crystal Display, is a technology used in computer monitors, camera screens (occasionally) and mobile phones, although it was basically intended for computer screens. However, the major benefit of using LCD in televisions is that one can get better visuals while playing games. The functioning is through a liquid crystal solution that is sandwiched between two sheets of polarized glass. By applying an electric voltage to this setup, the crystals rotate, which changes the polarization of the light that is passed through them.
Advantages
- LCD televisions have a longer life than Plasma screens. Their average life span is 30 years or more.
- LCDs use less power compared to Plasma televisions.
- Users have a great variety of choice in terms of size, with as small as 19 inches (for computers) to 47 inches or larger.
Plasma televisions: These type of screens comprise of millions of tiny plasma cells, which emit light to create an image when a specific voltage of electricity is passed through them. They offer larger screen sizes than LCDs, with the largest Plasma Screen being as large as 63 inches, but lack the variety in sizes that is offered by LCD due to variance in technologies.
Advantages
- Plasma televisions have better black levels, and higher contrast ratio compared to LCDs.
- They can be viewed from any angle, the only point to be taken care of is that the viewing angle must be between 160 to 180 degrees.
- Plasma screens have a very fast refresh rate that is able to capture and display rapid motions with relative ease.
- A plasma screen has the capability of displaying billions of colours, and produce smooth gradations of hues that enhances the picture quality exponentially. The final result is pictures that look closer to real life as can be.
LED televisions: LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is basically an electronic component that gives out light upon the passage of electric voltage through its terminals. Interestingly, the term LED TV is actually a misnomer, since the light source is the television's back-light, and the screen is actually LCD. There are some models that use CCFL (Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps) also, but the LED type of back-light is a much more efficient system.
Advantages
- Using LEDs as the back-light source, a television will have a better dynamic contrast level compared to regular LCD TVs, the reason being that the former technology is a direct back-lighting one.
- LED TVs are the slimmest as a television can get, with the average thickness being not more than one inch.
- LED TVs consume a lot less power than LCD televisions.
- In terms of overall quality and reliability, LED TVs are the most trusted of the lot.
