I'm no expert but I do know LED stands for "light emitting diode" and LCD means " liquid crystal display" It is two different technologies to produce the picture of the TV.

The terms LED and LCD are thrown around here a bit too freely. Just to be clear, both TV's would have LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Screens. One model apparently has newer LED (light emitting diode) supplemental lighting for the LCD screen that makes for thinner TV's. The other model apparently has the older type of LCD screen supplemental lighting using fluorescent tubes. When the LED-lit LCD TV's came out, the claim was that the LED's are much less prone to failure than the fluorescent tube lighting.

I think you're refering to LCD TVs.LED TVs solved the issue you are refering to. I have an LED TV and if you look at the screen from an angle even close to a 90 degree angle the brightness doesn't change much, and my TV is over 7 years old.LED TVs is basically more advanced LCD TVs.

This unit does not have the LCD display that some others models have - instead it has a number of small LEDs to provide operation status. The LEDs and the power button are blue for normal power. During power fluctuations they may glow red or yellow. For instance, if the voltage is high a red LED would inform you of that, while a separate yellow LED would indicate that the unit is doing it's job by trimming the power actually going to your components. Hope this helps.

LCD and LED aren't mutually exclusive technologies. The screen is LCD, and the lighting is LED. This monitor is amazing, I bought it a few weeks ago. You won't be disappointed.

LCD and LED tech are two different things. LED is a BACKLIGHT technology. LCD is a display technology. The backlight shines through the LCD layer. LED tech is a lower power usage than CCT tech (Cold Cathode Tube) or Florescent Tube Tech. What you are seeing is the effect of a GLOSSY set vs a MATTE set. GLOSSY is a very smooth glass like screen look. It improves blacks, however it also increases reflection. Matte being a rougher texture on the screen itself negates most of the reflection but also reduces black depth.

All consumer level flat displays are either LCD or plasma based outputs. In the case of LCD displays, there are two different ways to backlight the LCD panel. The traditional way was to use compact florescent lamps, but they have been phased out in favor of more energy efficient LED lamps. When considering LED backlit displays, there are two different ways they can use LEDs to illuminate the LCD panel; a.) edge-lit and b.) direct-lit. Edge-lit LED displays are the first generation of LED/LCD displays. They use strips of LED bulbs at the edges of the display to shine through the LCD panel. This will often result in hot spots where there is uneven backlighting. Direct-lit LED displays have an array of LED bulbs spread evenly behind the LCD panel and can be individually controlled by the display. This allows the display to offer zones of backlighting. This would also resolve the hotspotting issues of the edge-lit units. This Sharp LC-32LE551U display is a Direct-Lit LED/LCD unit, which is the best offered today in mainstream units.

I just hooked up my TV. It is LED. I'm a big fan of LG TVs because of their picture quality (I own 3). I stopped using Samsung because their products never seemed to last very long.

It's an LED LCD panel. No noticeable change in colors. Quality is amazing. I've had this machine for a couple months now and it is frickin amazing. Hands down the fastest computer I've ever used. Incredible. Does not dissapoint.

I dont believe it explicitly says (in english) which it is. My last monitor was an LCD and I was unable to see it if I wasn't looking dead on. This one is beautiful from every angle....so I would assume its a true LED. I'm very satisfied with mine. It serves as an excellent media center.

The only difference I know of is the lcd gets hotter, but unfortunately I didn't get the one I ordered to know anymore.

No there is not an LCD screen. There are led indicators for various focal lengths and a switch for off, ttl, mh and ml, but no LCD.

The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here. Meaning if you are watching anything that has high motion, like sports other than Golf, then the LED will show a clearer picture. Sooo, from my perspective I will NEVER buy a straight UP LCD Tv. I will buy one with LED or LED/LCD at 120 Hz or better, for I intend to keep it for more than 5 years. By the way, make sure you get a warranty and understand the benefit it will be bring to the table if at year three your new TV goes out... As an example BestBuy will replace the unit completely no questions asked. The difference is quite noticeable between an LED and LCD... Remember the 120 HZ it the multiplier here.

Every LED Monitor is an LCD screen. It just uses LED backlighting.. So yes this is an LED monitor. I love this monitor. You will too if you don't plan on making and stand adjustments!! Hope you enjoy!

Yes. On the LG 37le5300, the LED is an edge application of LED as the back lit device, rather than a full LED back lit application. The LCD is the Liquid Crystal Display without the LED application and is usually back lit by florescent lighting and is not nearly as efficient. Combined LED LCD means you will have a Liquid Crystal Display that is back lit by Light Emitting Diodes, either full screen or edge. Hope this helps.

Not an issue for LCD. Also not an issue for LED or Plasma. Shielding only mattered for old CRT tubes.

All are LCD but some use LED for Backlighting vs CCFL. LED LCD is pretty much becoming standard now. That is not the issue with reflection, it is all based on the screen surface: gloss vs matte. For 4K, gloss is the only option today and will more than likely be the only one going forward. It allows for the optimal brightness where matte tends to mute the picture. Even most of the 1080P's out there are now gloss as well.
