Shedding Light on LEDs (Part 5): Conclusion In this series, we explained what LEDs are and described Edge-LED, Local Dimming and RGB LED technology. Although the use of LED is still new in the manufacture of televisions, something new is looming on the horizon: Organic LED or OLED. The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) is more [...]

People are talking about 3D technology more and more. Even if only a few months ago, thinking about watching a 3D from the comfort of your living room seemed almost impossible, it is completely the opposite today. And while most manufacturers of LCD or plasma screens are gradually getting into this new niche, Panasonic is [...]

iPhone and iPod bases are popular. Owners of Apple devices have a multitude of options. Rather similar in terms of technology, it is often the design that wins out. Boston Acoustics offers the DUO-i Plus. With its many colour options, the DUO-i Plus is a very interesting chameleon choice. The DUO-i AM/FM is compatible with [...]

We explained what light-emitting diodes are (see here) and described Edge LED (see here) and Local Dimming (see here). In both cases, these are white LEDs. Another way to use LEDs in a flat screen TV is to use coloured LEDs. Red, green and blue are in the spotlight. Instead of having only white LEDs, [...]

We explained what LED is (see here) and described one type of device that is equipped with Edge LED technology (see here). Unlike Edge, where the diodes are placed in the frame of the screen, Local Dimming models have a panel filled with white LEDs. How does this effect the picture quality? Placing the LEDs [...]
