Traditionally, LCD computers and LCD TV's have a cold cathode ray tube (fluorescent lamp) as a backlight. Manufacturers are now including 'LED TV's' in their range. These are LCD TV's with LED backlights. LED's (light emitting diodes), give off little heat, are long lasting and energy saving, with the benefit of lower power consumption.

There are two ways to use LED backlights in LCD TV's.  Using an array of white LED backlights, the fluorescent light is replaced by LED's, thus making the LCD TV more energy efficient.  Where local dimming technology is used, this tailors the brightness of each individual LED to the image on the screen, to give deeper deeper blacks and authentic colour reproduction.

The second way, is to use LED's around the inside edge (edge-lighting) of LCD TV's, pointing in and running at full power to flood the screen with light, which enables manufacturers to produce much thinner screens, making these ideal for wall mounting.
