There are a seemingly endless amount of televisions on the market today. These different kinds of televisions all offer varying types of technologies. These different technologies could easily affect how you enjoy your TV stations, shows, and movies.

LED TVs and OLED TVs are two types of TV technology that are gaining in popularity. Both of these television types have something to offer to your home entertainment system. By looking into the differences and similarities between the two, you will be able to understand the type of TV that is right for you.

There are many technologies emerging in display devices like TVs. Every technology excels in particular feature of display and has particular method of display. Different technologies used in TVs are:

LCD TV:

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) televisions are thinner and lighter and provide much sharper and clearer picture than CRTs of similar size. They are ideally used for cell phone displays, computer monitors, and to view still images. LCD TVs have a flat screen so there will be no picture distortion and don’t have screen “burn in” like curved tube TVs. In general, LCD viewing angle is 175 degrees. The picture can be viewed 87 degrees from each side. LCD TVs are very economical to use and screens less than 35 are fairly inexpensive. LCD TVs are backlit and blocks outside light. So, they are suitable for natural lighting situations. Most LCD TVs have a half lifespan (50% of original brightness) of over 30,000 hours (16 years of viewing at 6 hours per day). LCD sizes generally range from 13 to 65 but some manufacturer will offer up to 100 sizes.

Entertainment has gone through leaps and jumps in the last few years, this decade alone changed the face of how we watch television. New terms have also appeared that has made strong impressions on our minds. Terms like flatscreen, High Definition and other terms have become household terms in the 21st century.

There is a new technology out there that can actually bring down the competition not only because of its eco-friendly orientation but also because of its cost. OLED TVs or Organic Light Emitting Diode Televisions are considered by many to be the future of television. One advantage OLEDs hold over their competition is the fact that it does not require backlighting for it to function.

OLED is now the newest face in the TV and display market. And apart from popular belief, OLED TVs are being looked at now as being the next potential alternative to LCD TVs today. Aside from having several common things, these two TV’s are still very different when it comes to the release of images to the viewer. So which of these TV’s are better then?

Aside from LG’s announcement of its reveal of the OLED-TV 15EL9500, the company has already made this product available in South Korea and Europe just recently; and will be promptly followed with its release in the US this summer. This very slim-set TV has a contrast ratio of 10,000,000: 1, that looks far better than any other existing 15-inch TV’s. It also has an HD Ready 720 P (equivalent to a 1366 x 768 resolution); and is made available with a USB 2.0 input.
