12 Differences between LED TV and LED display

LED TV is a kind of LCD TV, strictly speaking, LED backlight LCD TV. LED is used for light source in LCD TV.

This light source has always been based on CCFL cold light tubes in the past. The light emitting principle of CCFL cold light tubes is similar to the fluorescent tubes we use daily. However, the CCFL cold light tube also faces problems such as uneven brightness, relatively high power consumption, and containing mercury. In contrast, LED backlights do better in terms of power consumption and environmental protection of materials, brightness uniformity is relatively high, and the volume can be made thinner.

LED display is a display that directly uses LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as pixel light-emitting elements that form modules directly emit light of three colors of red, green and blue, thereby forming a color picture.

The LED display can display changing numbers, text, graphics, images and videos etc. The reason why LED has received wide attention and rapid development is inseparable from its own advantages. It can be used not only for indoor but also outdoor. It has the incomparable advantages of projectors, LED TVs, LCD screens and PDP screens. Moreover, the LED display screen integrates microelectronic technology, computer technology, and information processing. With its bright colors, wide dynamic range, high brightness, long life, stable and reliable work, it has become the most advantageous public display medium.

1. Power consumption

LED TV has lower power consumption than LED Display. And LED Display’s power consumption is counted per square meters.

2. Refresh Rate

LED Display has higher refresh rate than LED TV. Normally, LED TV is 60Hz refresh rate, and the highest is 120Hz right now. But LED Display can be 3840Hz refresh rate, and normally it is 1920Hz.

3. Gray Scale

LED Display has higher gray scale than LED TV. Normally, LED TV is 8Bit Gray Scale and 10Bit Gray Scale. LED Display is 12Bit Gray Scale and the highest is 16Bit Gray Scale.

4. Viewing Angle

LED TV has higher viewing angle than LED Display. LED TV is 170 degree viewing angle and LED display is 140 degree viewing angle.

5. Respond Time

LED Display has shorter respond time than LED TV. Normally, LED TV is 8ms respond time. And LED Display is less than 2ms. Because the LED is the display device. When it has signal, the display has signal too.

6. Brightness

LED Display has higher brightness than LED TV. You can see clear picture, video or text from outdoor LED display which faces the sun. Normally, LED TV is about 600nits. Indoor LED Display is about 1000nits. Outdoor LED Display can be about 10000nits.

7. Working Temperature

LED Display has lower and higher temperature than LED TV. LED Display can work at -30 degree to 70 degree environments at long time. We recommend adding air conditioner for outdoor LED Display when the temperature is over standard working temperature.

8. IP Level

LED Display has IP67 level. LED Display can work at outdoor environments without any protection.

9. Life Span

LED Display has longer life span than LED TV. The whole LED Display is LEDs with other component. And normally LED’s life time is about 100,000 hours.

10. Dimension

LED Display can do customized dimension. It can be at any size. In huge dimension, LED display is flatness and leaving no Gap. And single LED TV is 120 inches maximum right now.

11. Resolution

In lower screen size, LED TV has higher resolution than LED display. But in bigger screen size, LED display is higher resolution than LED TV.

12. Maintenance

LED Display has lower maintenance cost than LED TV. LED Display is assembled by modules. Each module can be fixed or changed even by yourself when it is broken. But LED TV is difficult to fixed or changed.
