In comparison, high definition is 1920 x 1080 pixels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s the difference between LCD and LED?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>LCD stands for liquid crystal display. This type of screen display uses liquid crystals and fluorescent backlights to create an image on the screen. LED displays are more straightforward and, as their name implies, they use LED lights to project an image. Both have their pros and cons, so it\u2019s simply a matter of preference when purchasing a TV.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Look For When narrowing down the best 50-inch TVs on the market, we considered picture quality, overall features, and price.
