Whether you prefer an LED TV or a plasma TV, neither is a bad choice. They both feature a quality picture and have some excellent features. The way they are put together has a few differences that could help you select the best choice for you, however. Compared to all other high definition TVs, an LED TV is the most energy efficient. LED TV's can save the consumer up to 40 percent percent on their energy consumption versus plasma and LCD models. LED's are basically a combination of LCD panels.

LED televisions are the newest form of high definition TVs. LED technology allows TVs to be manufactured thinner, lighter, and with more brilliant color. There are two basic forms of LED televisions. The first type is edge-lit LED. Edge-lit LED uses four LED lights in each corner of the TV. This method of backlighting is easier and cheaper to manufacture. Therefore, this method is used in many low-end and mid-range television models.
