When the first color televisions hit the scene in the 60's, the first people on the block to own them were considered high-class. When big screen televisions started being manufactured, those with thousands to shell out for the things were the best thing since sliced bread.

Not so long ago flat panel and plasma televisions came on the market and retailed for as much as 25,000 dollars. Today the technology has become affordable for many more people and the technology is advancing again in the form of the LED TV. Unlike plasma televisions, LED sets are a form of LCD technology that utilize LED backlighting instead of the cold cathode fluorescent lights or CCFL's that are used in traditional LCD sets.

Manufacturers have started using this process for making TV's because it allows for a saving of space and less energy consumption. Although many LED televisions sold in stores are correctly termed as such, they are not true LED displays and still use parts of more traditional LCD technology. LED televisions come in a few different forms which are dynamic RGB LED's, white edge LED's, and full array. Dynamic and full array are both positioned behind the screen of an LCD television whereas the white edge are placed around the perimeter of the set. The white edge is one of the most common applications for LED television technology.

LED technology is relatively new and as such, LED models tend to be a bit more expensive than their traditional counterparts. The variance however is not drastic and they remain as affordable as plasma or traditional LCD televisions. For example Samsung LED televisions range from about 1000 dollars to 2000 dollars depending on size and specific features. Most models made by this leading manufacturer come with full HD capabilities, 1080p resolution, range in size of 32 to over 60 inches and are wall mountable. The newest generation of televisions are something called Smart TVs, this enables the TV to display content from the internet making the TV the hub of home entertainment.

It seems there will not be a time in the near future that having the latest television set won't make you the envy of the neighborhood. From huge heavy color TV's that came out in the middle of the 20th century to the ultra thin models of today, manufacturers continue to find new and innovative ways to deliver televised content to millions of consumers around the world.
