Once again I am reading a supermarket newspaper… Thinking – who is trying to fool who ? Or who is the stupid one ? I am talking about all those LED TV sets priced from 300 EUR to 1000 EUR (most popular). If you’re smart, at this point you would think – WTF ? LED TV so cheap in Lithuania ? Yep… How can we complain that living is bad here when LED TV everywhere else costs about 10-20 times more 😀 For those who didn’t get it – I’ll explain… Our sellers calls LED TV all LCD TV sets with LED backlight. You know, LCD monitor does not emit light, so it must be lit from the back. All PC and TV LCDs had CCFL lamps for that. The new technology (well, not new nowadays) – LED, came into the market and replaced CCFL. Its more efficient, less heating, less aging, light is more consistent, well, lots of good things. Also it gives ability to turn of LEDs behind the dark image, so the black becomes even more solid and dark. So, plenty of advantages. But this is not LED TV. Its a LED backlight TV with regular LCD matrix. The real LED TV does not have the LCD matrix – view is created by sets of 3 tiny LEDs (RGB, like in CRT TVs). And of course the image is very bright, vivid, colors are precise and beautiful. So, people knows the only thing „LED TV is the best”, and purchases all that shit that has LED in its name. So, now who can answer – are we being fooled or just we are so stupid and don’t know the difference…
