The high-performing 55-inch Samsung S5530 Games is 1 of Samsung's most talked about LCD HDTV models, not just as a consequence of its price tag - $2500 to $3500 - but additionally because it can be in the leading from the line of Samsung's edge-lit LED televisions. But what exactly is surely an edge-lit HDTV?

To comprehend the notion of an edge-lit HDTV, 1st, you need to understand how an LED-based HDTV works. Whilst a regular LCD television employs a single fluorescent lamp being a backlight, an LED-lit LCD tv utilizes countless little bulbs (known as light emitting diodes or LEDs) covering the again of the screen. As a consequence of this, LED-based televisions are brighter and can make far more vivid colors and specifically, deeper blacks - a outcome from the simple fact that a group of LEDs might be completely turned off whilst component of a fluorescent lamp can only be dimmed. LEDs also eat less energy but can last considerably lengthier.

As a consequence of this, LED-lit HDTVs are becoming popular. However, almost all of them are direct-lit, which implies that the LEDs cover the entire panel and project the light ahead. Alternatively, the Samsung S5530 Games is edge-lit, which suggests the LEDs are only on the leading as well as the bottom from the panel, projecting the light towards the center in which a light guide plate reflects it forward and focuses it accordingly.

One benefit of edge-lit HDTVs is they can be produced even thinner and lighter, creating them not merely beautiful but in addition less complicated to mount on the wall just like a framed painting. Certainly, the Samsung S5530 Games is only 1.2 inches deep at most, which makes it one of Samsung's slimmest and most trendy HDTVs.

One more advantage is the fact that edge-lit HDTVs consume even significantly less electricity. Actually, while LEDs already consume fifty percent the electrical energy that a fluorescent lamp utilizes, edge-lit HDTVs use far much less. The UN55B8000, in particular, consumes up to 40 % much less power.

Edge-lit televisions have drawbacks, also, however, like the warmth generated from the frame - especially the top and bottom portion - and troubles regarding display uniformity. Samsung claims to have solved these troubles, however, and indeed, the UN55B8000 is surely an effective piece, with the problem of display uniformity only appearing for the duration of dark scenes, and in some cases then, is tough to discern.
