Is Mini LED TV expected to become the "leader" in the TV industry in the future?

When watching TV series, we often see plasma TVs. In 2000, plasma TVs were indeed very expensive appliances. If someone owns a plasma TV, it's almost a sign of wealth.

In 2004, sales of plasma TVs in China alone exceeded 20,000 yuan. This is big news for the home appliance industry. Although this price does not seem to be much now, it was enough to buy a few square meters of store space in first-tier cities.

But that didn't last long. Under the "wave" of technology, plasma TVs slowly disappeared in the "long river" of the times. LCD TVs and mini LED TVs have rapidly emerged and become the mainstream of the current home appliance industry.

1. Advantages and disadvantages of Mini LED TV

Mini LED TV is an emerging display technology that uses tens of thousands of tiny LED backlights to finely control the light source to achieve higher contrast and a wider color gamut. Advantages of this technique include:

• Better display effect: Mini LED TV uses thousands of independent backlight areas, which can provide higher brightness and contrast, as well as more delicate color performance, making the picture more vivid and lifelike, improving the viewing experience.
• Higher local contrast: Because Mini LED TVs have more small-sized backlight areas, they can perform more precise local backlight control, thereby achieving higher local contrast and more prominent details.
• More accurate color reproduction: Mini LED TVs use more partitioned backlights, which can better control the brightness and color of different areas, making color reproduction more accurate, presenting more colors, and making color transitions more natural.
• The display effect is more stable: the backlight of Mini LED TV has a longer life and higher reliability, is less prone to problems such as uneven backlight, and is more stable after long-term use.
• Higher contrast: Mini LED TV can provide deeper blacks in dark parts while maintaining brightness in bright parts, achieving higher contrast and making images more vivid.

However, Mini LED TV also has some disadvantages, such as:

• Higher price: Because it requires a large number of tiny LED lamp beads and uses advanced backlight technology, the manufacturing cost is higher.
• Large size: Since Mini LED TV requires a large number of small backlight areas behind the screen, the overall size is relatively large, which may not be suitable for some consumers who have requirements for TV size.
• Higher energy consumption: Because Mini LED TVs need to use more backlight areas and consume more energy, their energy consumption is slightly higher than traditional LED TVs.

?2. Advantages and disadvantages of LCD TV

LCD TVs have been around for quite some time, so the market is more mature. Their advantages include:

• Relatively low cost: LCD TVs have mature manufacturing processes and relatively low production costs, making them more affordable in the market and suitable for consumers with limited budgets.
• Thinner design: LCD TVs are typically thinner and lighter, making them easier to mount on a wall or place in tight spaces.
• Low power consumption: LCD TVs usually consume less power, which can save energy, reduce use costs, and help energy conservation and environmental protection.
• Stable display effect: LCD TV uses a combination of a liquid crystal layer and backlight to provide a stable display effect, which is more suitable for watching TV or doing computer work for a long time.

However, LCD TVs also have some disadvantages, such as:

• Low contrast: Since the backlight of the LCD TV is the entire screen when it is completely black or completely white, the contrast is low, and the black display is not deep black.
• Limited viewing angles: LCD TVs have limited viewing angles. Image brightness and color expression will change when viewed from different angles, so it is only suitable for viewing from the front.
• Slow response speed: Due to the limitation of the movement speed of liquid crystal molecules, the response speed of LCD TVs is relatively slow, and image afterimages may occur when playing fast actions or moving images.

3. Advantages of Mini LED TV compared with LCD TV

Compared with LCD TVs, Mini LED TVs have obvious advantages in many aspects. You should be able to summarize something after reading the previous two points.

First, mini LED TVs use smaller LED backlight sources. Compared with traditional LCD TVs with more backlight sources, Mini LED TVs can provide higher brightness and deeper black performance, improve contrast and dynamic range, making the picture clearer, more detailed, more vivid, lifelike, and with better High Dynamic Range (HDR) performance capabilities.

Secondly, mini LED TVs can achieve a wider color gamut and present more diverse and vivid colors. At the same time, due to the adoption of a larger number of LED backlight areas, the brightness and color of each LED can be precisely controlled, providing higher color accuracy and detail expression.

In addition, mini LED TVs use more partitioned LED backlights, which can better control the backlight brightness and reduce the impact of viewing angles on picture quality. Images remain stable and detailed when viewed from different angles.

Another important advantage is the development potential of Mini LED TVs. With the continuous advancement of technology, the manufacturing cost of Mini LED TVs will gradually decrease, making it easier for them to enter people's homes. Moreover, over time, Mini LED TVs may further improve contrast and color performance, further enhancing the viewing experience. In addition, Mini LED technology is also expected to be used in other fields, such as displays, laptops, and smartphones, which will further promote its development.

4. Development prospect of Mini LED TV

In recent years, Mini LED TV technology has also been rapidly updated and matured. According to statistics from Aoweiyun, the sales volume of Mini LED TVs will reach 395,000 units in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 385.3%, achieving a linear growth trend. The sales volume of other TVs in the same period is also lower than that. There is no doubt that Mini LED TV is ushering in unprecedented development opportunities.

It has only been five years since the world's first Mini LED TV was launched in 2018, and it is expected to develop rapidly in the next few years. As manufacturing costs drop and technology continues to mature, more consumers will be able to enjoy the high-quality visual experience brought by Mini LED TVs. In addition, Mini LED technology is also expected to be widely used in professional fields such as film production and game development, providing higher color accuracy and contrast.

However, Mini LED TVs also need to face some challenges. First, they needed to overcome the engineering challenges associated with making large numbers of tiny LEDs. Secondly, the market is highly competitive, and Mini LED TVs need continuous innovation to remain competitive. Finally, with the emergence of other emerging technologies, Mini LED TVs need to constantly adapt to market needs.

Overall, Mini LED TVs and LCD TVs each have unique advantages and disadvantages. If you want to buy, you can choose the one that suits you best according to your budget and needs.

With the rapid development of science and technology, TV technology is also constantly developing, providing us with a more shocking visual experience. What type of TV are you buying? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Let's discuss it.
