My friend told me LED tv last forever, no worry of life cycle, is it true?

RockChalk · 06-21-2009, 02:34 AM

No they typically have about a 40,000-60,000 hour life cycle

Just for reference... 40,000 hours is 4.56 years.
In Other Words... If you turned it on, and left it on, it would run for 4.5 years or longer.

Aren't plasmas around 100k hours... What are lcds 75K?

allstar780 · 06-21-2009, 03:43 AM

most lcds are 50-70k

panasonic plasmas (not sure of other brands) claim 80-100k

Yeah, LED panels don't last as long as regular LCD's but their energy consumption is much lower.

I think you should not take your friend's advice on televisions.

In all seriousness, though, they're great sets, and I don't think concerns about lifespan should stop anyone from getting one of these, or any other high-end TV.

that can be debated energy star on most tv's just dims down all your settings using less power.. an uncalibrated or Brightly set led could and would likely use more energy than a calibrated lcd...

mugupo · 06-21-2009, 05:40 AM

philip lcd use the least energy of all lcd, it use about same as led tv.

its all in the settings and calibration!.. when u push that little energy saver button your PQ goes to hell IMO....

But then again , i calibrate TV's daily, to better than reference PQ

what you dont see is that all those energy ratings are based on the tv IN energy mode,.. Which honestly 99% of ppl with HDTVs dont use .. Why? cuz u buy an HDTV for the picture quality.. NOT energy saving

ANd even at that .. if your watching 6 hrs of tv a day were talking like 40 extra bux a year ( max ).. SO about 1.75 a month more to have a great picture.. or a washed out " energy saver "

up to u tho
