32 LED TVs Expained
LED TV technology has been around for some time now but Samsung are the first company to attempt to make serious inroads into the traditional CCFL LCD market. Their new range of LED backlit televisions is currently the biggest on the market. A number of other vendors, such as LG, have recently announced the imminent launch of models that will compete with Samsung in the run up to Christmas.
As with larger models, Samsung’s 32 LED TV range has been built with a number of features that were previously only associated with high-end models. Many industry analysts have cited the inclusion of full HD support built into these new models but, whilst factually correct, leading manufacturers have designed yet another technology that will not doubt confuse many buyers: 1080HD.
Samsung’s new models are placed in two classes: the Series 6 and Series range of LED’s. Models such as the UE32B6000 are not 1080HD capable – they are support 1920×1080 full HD but not 1080HD (1280 x 1080). Samsung has only added these latter capabilities into larger models such as the UE40B6000 and the Series 7 range.
“What’s the difference?” The simplest answer is picture quality. 1080HD gives a higher definition than current technologies. Of course, the real answer is far more technical but, for many buyers, simply saying ‘higher definition’ is enough.
If you’re wondering why Samsung hasn’t included high end features into their 32 LED TV range the answer is relatively simple: cost. New technologies take time and money to design and test. Manufacturers need to claw back healthy profit margins in order to pay for the R&D processes which makes it unlikely that new technologies will be seen in lower end models, as least, not immediately. Typically, profit margins on smaller LCD TV’s are thin whereas the higher price on larger models gives the makers a greater profit on each unit allowing them to cram in even more support for current, and future, technologies.
This isn’t the only reason that the likes of Samsung don’t build support of new techologies into their low end models. There’s the potential for buyers to upgrade. Let me explain; think of yourself as a television manufacturer. In the first instance, you want to sell your high end products. Failing this, you want to grab a share of the lower end market by making your TV’s as user friendly and functional as possible (but not too much so). What are you going to do? Give the buyer everything they want in a low end model which they will probably never upgrade? No, I didn’t think so. You will sell what is effectively a cut down version then tempt your customers into upgrading to a model with better features.
Is the 32 LED TV range the right one for you? The choice is yours; take a look at the look at the features, and prices, before you buy.
