What is the key distinction between LED and LCDs?

GAO Tek’s LED displays use light-emitting diodes for backlighting, whereas LCDs use various technologies for backlighting.

GAO Tek’s LED displays generally consume less power compared to traditional LCDs.

No, LED displays produce minimal radiation, making them safe for regular use.

Our LED TVs often have ports for computer connectivity, providing a large display for work or entertainment.

We have outdoor-specific LCDs available, designed to withstand environmental conditions and maintain visibility in various lighting.

In most cases, it’s more practical to replace the entire display rather than just the backlight due to complexity and cost.

Traditional LED displays are less prone to burn-in compared to OLED displays, but image retention may still occur temporarily.

Our many modern LED displays support High Dynamic Range (HDR), enhancing contrast and color for a more immersive viewing experience.

LED displays can be used in multi-monitor configurations for expanded workspace and productivity.

Calibration needs may vary but doing it every few months ensures optimal colour accuracy over time.

Our LED displays are designed to emit less harmful blue light, reducing eye strain, but taking breaks is still recommended for prolonged use.

Fixing dead pixels is challenging and may require professional assistance; in many cases, it’s more practical to replace the display.

Our OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) displays fall under the broader category of LED displays.

Yes, LED displays are widely employed in digital signage for their brightness, clarity, and ability to showcase dynamic content.

Our LED displays typically have a lifespan of around 100,000 hours of use.

LED displays can experience flickering, but modern ones often come with features like adaptive brightness to reduce this effect.

We have many LED monitors that have HDMI ports, making them compatible with gaming consoles for an immersive gaming experience.

Yes, LED displays generally provide improved color accuracy and vibrancy compared to traditional LCDs.

Yes, some LED TVs support 3D technology, offering an immersive viewing experience for compatible content.

Our LED displays are often thinner due to the use of slim light-emitting diodes for backlighting, contributing to sleeker designs.
