Samung LED LCD TV Technology
What’s the latest craze in flat screen televisions this spring at Barrett’s Home Theater Chicago? Introducing the new 6000, 7000, and 8000 series flat screen panels which use a new edge lit LED technology. The definition of LED is: Light emitting diodes that let electricity pass in only one direction emitting visible light when electricity is applied, much like a light bulb. When many LEDs are side-by-side, they can create pictures, such as the scrolling red LED signs found everywhere.
The LED flat screen televisions deliver better picture quality with an ultra-slim design, and are eco-friendly. The series carried in the showroom is white LEDs resulting in a television that is considerably less expensive than a television that uses a RGB value (red, green and blue LEDs). These flat screen televisions at Barrett’s Home Theater also consume up to 40% less power.
Rob Lubas, store manager at Algonquin’s Barrett’s Home Theater states “I think the new Samsung LED backlit LCDS are a great product. Not only are they some of the sleekest and sexiest TV’s I have ever seen, they have great picture quality to compliment them.”
Customers biggest complaint over the years with regular LCD’s televisions has been that the colors don’t look as good as they do on plasma’s flat screen television.
Rob’s solution, “With this new LED backlighting system Samsung has bridged that gap to rival color saturation and black levels that in the past were unheard of from LCD television products. And probably the best news for the end user is that they consume 40% less energy than traditional LCD’s. Seeing is believing!”
Along with selling LED technologies in our new series of flat screen televisions, LED light bulbs are being integrated into our home theater rooms in our floor and overhead lighting systems to reduce energy consumption. In addition, at Barrett’s Home Theater Chicago, LED lights are utilized over the B&W speaker display (Bowers and Wilkins) and Society of Sound wall as well as several other areas of the showroom.
As leaders in evolving technologies we are excited by the implementation of LED lights and televisions and look to our vendors to continue manufacturing products that reduce our carbon prints, not only as retailers but for you, the customer.
