LEDs are little solid-state devices that make light due to the movement of electrons through a semiconductor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re ranged in clusters behind the panel (called \u2018back-lit&#8217; LCD LED TVs) or on the sides (called \u2018edge&#8217; or \u2018edge-lit&#8217; LED TVs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back-lit or edge-lit LED TVs significantly improve contrast levels over fluorescent-based LCD TVs. These panels show deeper blacks for more depth of an image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LCD LED TVs display <strong>brighter, richer, and more vibrant colors<\/strong>. Thinner and lighter than older television technology, making table and wall mounting much more effortless<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED TVs are <strong>less expensive than OLED technology<\/strong>. They provide the most outstanding selection in size and brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re a great value, and you can buy an LED TV in virtually any size you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few drawbacks. Since LED TVs get their light from an external source, the size of the HDTV increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LED televisions can&#8217;t produce a true black. In blackout scenes, you&#8217;ll notice uneven brightness and a lack of shadow detail in dark areas of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"adding-4k-to-led-tvs\">Adding 4K to LED TVs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>4K (UHD or Ultra High Definition) refers to the number of horizontal display pixels on the screen (4096 by 2160 pixels). The new 4K Ultra HDTVs have four times the resolution of the 1080p display. You&#8217;re in the range of <a data-lasso-id=\"10594\" href=\"https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/worlds-biggest-tv-size\/\">8 million pixels for any size screen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding 4K technology, the level of picture quality is startlingly better than on the televisions you&#8217;ve watched in the past. There is less fear of pixelation as you approach the TV since the pixels are a lot smaller and grouped tighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter how close you get or how big the screen is, you&#8217;re unable to see the individual pixels on the screen. That&#8217;s why the picture quality on a 4K TV is simply stunning.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:100\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>LED Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p><hr class=\"wpsm-divider solid_divider\" style=\"margin-top: 1px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" \/><br \/>\n<div class=\"wpsm-one-half wpsm-column-first\"><div class=\"wpsm_pros\"><div class=\"title_pros\">PROS:<\/div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>More Affordable<\/li>\n<li>Available in any TV size<\/li>\n<li>Lightweight for mounting<\/li>\n<li>Bright and colorful<\/li>\n<li>Beautiful picture quality<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpsm-one-half wpsm-column-last\"><div class=\"wpsm_cons\"><div class=\"title_cons\">CONS:<\/div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Average contrast<\/li>\n<li>Narrower viewing angle<\/li>\n<li>Aging technology<\/li>\n<li>Uneven darkness in blackout scenes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><\/p>\n<p class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3939\">\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-oled\">What is OLED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV.jpg\" alt=\"LG OLED 4K TV\" class=\"wp-image-3939\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV-324x162.jpg 324w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/LG-OLED-TV-788x394.jpg 788w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:100\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\tLG OLED TVs boasting the latest panels with brighter, self-illuminating pixels and stunning color for the Best Picture Ever.

Newer OLED TVs are made from carbon-based materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When electricity is applied through them, they emit light that glows either red, green, or blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most OLED televisions are only a couple of millimeters thick. <a data-lasso-id=\"8315\" href=\"https:\/\/curvedview.com\/hdtv-glossary\/#oled\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OLED TVs<\/a> are incredibly thin because each pixel has its own light source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These televisions are <strong>thinner than LED TVs<\/strong> because no back-lighting is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can control images at the pixel level in an OLED display. Each pixel self-illuminates, so OLED TVs deliver unprecedented contrast ratios and exceptional brightness compared to older LED back-lit TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OLED TVs are much <strong>more energy-efficient than other TV<\/strong> panel types. In an OLED panel, organic films are placed between semiconductors and supplied with an electrical current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every pixel can be switched on and off individually. This makes total black possible and uses less power to create peak brightness levels. This unlimited contrast means OLED panels deliver the whitest whites and the darkest blacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These televisions <strong>respond lightning-fast and deliver beautiful colors<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is OLED a 4K TV? The latest LG OLED TVs offer 4K resolution. Watching an OLED TV for the first time is a pure \u2018Wow&#8217; moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The downsides? OLED TVs are very expensive, and no one is quite sure how long OLED panels will last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OLED TVs are only available in large sizes: 55 inches and bigger. LG is the only company that currently manufactures OLED panels for TVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony has an agreement with LG to put LG OLED panels into certain Sony televisions. Otherwise, you won&#8217;t find OLED in other televisions sold in the U.S.A.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:100\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>OLED Pros and Cons<\/h3>\n<p><hr class=\"wpsm-divider solid_divider\" style=\"margin-top: 1px;margin-bottom: 10px;\" \/><br \/>\n<div class=\"wpsm-one-half wpsm-column-first\"><div class=\"wpsm_pros\"><div class=\"title_pros\">PROS:<\/div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The slimmest TV<\/li>\n<li>Wider viewing angle<\/li>\n<li>Highest contrast<\/li>\n<li>More accurate blacks<\/li>\n<li>Brighter colors<\/li>\n<li>Faster refresh rate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpsm-one-half wpsm-column-last\"><div class=\"wpsm_cons\"><div class=\"title_cons\">CONS:<\/div><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Limited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/tv-screen-size-guide\/\" data-lasso-id=\"10614\">screen sizes<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Muted brightness<\/li>\n<li>More expensive<\/li>\n<li>Unknown lifespan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div><br \/>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-oled-and-led\">What is the difference between OLED and LED?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The lighting source is the significant difference<\/strong>.
