If you're looking for help with LED TV repair, whether it's DIY fixes or finding reliable service in Lucknow, here’s a comprehensive guide to get you back to crystal‑clear viewing:
🔍 What Is an LED TV?
An LED TV is a type of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TV that uses LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) for backlighting instead of older fluorescent methods (like CCFL). This makes them thinner, more energy-efficient, and capable of better brightness and contrast.
💡 Fact: All LED TVs are technically LCD TVs. The “LED” refers only to the backlight, not the display technology itself.
⚙️ How LED TVs Work
LCD Panel: Controls pixels and colors but doesn’t emit light itself.
LED Backlight: Lights up the screen from behind (edge or full-array).
Video Processing Unit: Converts signals into visual images.
Speakers: Built-in audio output (often needing enhancement via soundbar).
🧠 Types of LED TVs
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Edge-Lit LED | LEDs around the edges. Slim design, less uniform brightness. |
| Direct-Lit LED | LEDs placed behind the screen. Better brightness, more even. |
| Full-Array LED | Advanced version of direct-lit with local dimming for deeper blacks. |
| Mini LED | Smaller LEDs, allow finer control of brightness and contrast. |
| QLED (Quantum Dot) | Enhanced colors and brightness using quantum dots (used by Samsung, TCL). |
| OLED (Not LED) | Self-emissive pixels, true blacks, but technically different from LED TVs. |
