LED TVs create images by making use of LED lights to light up a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen, whereas OLED TVs have an organic substance that can glow as the electric current is passed through it. This means that OLED TVs are capable of producing their own light. OLED TVs deliver images with better contrast and those that substantially retain the black levels of the images as compared to LED TVs (Hoffman et al. 218).
Efficiency
Although all the two types of TVs produce quality images, OLED is the most efficient type. OLED TV is the best since it creates a range of apparent colours and gives room for pixels to turn off when others are still running, hence leading to producing more excellent contrast and retaining the black colour of the pictures more efficiently. OLED TVs are also very light in weight since this technology allows for the production of very thin TVs that occupy a small space (Shih-Wen et al. 93).
OLED TVs have a short critical response time as compared to LED ones; this, therefore, implies that OLED TVs produce clear images that are not blurred when displaying the fastest action scenes. For example, the critical response time for an LG OLED TV is less than one microsecond, and this is about 1000 times quicker than the standard LED TV (Shih-Wen et al., 95).
Cost
OLED TVs are more expensive than LED TVs. This is so because OLED TVs are costly and difficult to manufacture compared to their LED counterparts. LG Company produces OLED TVs, and their 55-inch OLED TV is currently being sold at approximately 2,000 USD.
Power Consumption
The estimated power consumption of an LED TV annually is about 60W, while that of an OLED TV is expected to be approximately 100W. This shows that OLED TVs consume a lot of power compared to other TVs.
