The so-called “electonics” expert on the morning news program was going over big screen TVs (with super bowl coming up, etc etc) – and he showed a new LG that was what he refered to as “LED” (light emmitting diode I believe that stands for) – So the host said is that better or worse picture quality than Plasma – of course the general consensus is Plasma is not quite as good on pic quality, and has trouble with deep dark colors and Black color in particular. Fine… But then she said, “OK whats the difference between LED and LCD big screen TV’s ?” The expert guy says nothing, he said they are the same thing, its an “interchangeable term” for that type of TV. I had been told that the brand new technology just coming out lately on big TVs is the LED – and that LCDs (liquid crystal displays, which is what I have right now) are middle ground pic quality now. And I was told that LED was a different display type than LCD. Kept hearing that “the new LED tv’s are even better pic quality than the LCD’s”. So what is the situation, can a video expert please explain – are LED and LCD the same – that just does not make sense to me they are the same thing, it would seem that its a totally different principal and different technology in my mind. Thanks.
