Should You Upgrade To an LG LED TV Over an LCD LG TV?

When it comes to enhancing the already excellent technology used for LCD TVs you can find that LG's LED TVs only build upon that. You will find several models that LG has created to ensure that your movie and show watching experience is nothing short of magical. So when it comes to considering the LED TVs here is an overview of the key attributes so you can make the best purchase for yourself or instead decide if you'd rather go with an LCD over an LED.

The LG LED televisions are housed under the SL90 series which boast a resolution of 1080p, the same as the highest LCD models, as well as a contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. This is substantially more than the top LCDs as those models will have a contrast ratio of only 50,000:1 at most. This will give you much greater detail and a more vivid picture quality.

The lights will be lighter, the darks darker, and the image quality for dim scenes will be just as enhanced as lighter ones so you won't miss out on any minute details. This is a movie lover's dream as the wide range of tints and tones you will note will give you the same quality as that likened to a movie theatre.

These LEDs are locally dimmed and they allow for adjustments to be made individually to give you the very best colours and contrasts. These are also the preference of sports enthusiasts or those who enjoy fast action thrillers because of the TruMotion processing that come with these models.

Where LCDs often are criticized for coming up short in regards to a slower frame rate that could result in a slight blur in fast paced scenes, these LED TVs are able to keep up. In fact with the better technology these LEDs are just about on par with the other plasma screens that are known for having the fastest frame rates.

The LG SL90 series comes with the new frameless design that is slim and chic. This is the first series with this particular make and in moving the back light to the edges instead of behind the panel it has further allowed the panel to be even thinner, coming in at 2.9cm. Without a frame the panel is then entirely flat and smooth making it easier to clean as well.

They are available in 32, 37, 42, and 47 inch sizes and can be hooked up to wireless headphones and used with Bluetooth as well as being able to upload other movies and music. There are the four different HDMI ports and because of its ability to get connect you can then share JPEG, MP3, and video files.

Another big draw of this model is its energy saving ability in that it will automatically go into a sleeper mode when not in use if you take advantage of this Intelligent Sensor 2 feature. Especially with the heightened awareness in regards to greener habits this is a nice added bonus. With all of this there is also the AV mode to hook up to cameras and camcorders, the picture wizard, 24p real cinema, and also expert mode.

One main thing you need to keep in mind when choosing between the size of your TV is that as LED screens get larger their high pixeled nature does not translate as well. What this means is that you will get a crisper and sharper image on a smaller screen, and while you will still have a superb picture as the screen gets larger it may not be as vivid when compared to one that has smaller dimensions. These LED TVs will cost more than the LCD's but with that extra investment you are allowed to do much more than simply watch movies and your favourite shows.
