For years Edge Lit TVs were the gold standard—and they're still the most common types of TVs available. They use LEDs placed along the edge of the TV, facing the center of the screen, to light the image. In terms of local dimming, they can typically only dim large sections of the picture, not the pin-point dimming you'd get with Full Array. In the case of Full Array LED TVs, the LEDs are numerous, and spread throughout the back of the television. And because there are generally more LEDs on Full Array TVs than Edge Lit, local dimming is finer, more targeted, and produces deeper, darker, richer images that make what you're watching on the screen virtually come to life. In the Full Array LED vs. Edge Lit TV comparison, Full Arrays come out on top. However, if a Full Array television isn't in your budget, or you don't want or need, a Full Array TV for work or your own personal use, Edge Lit televisions still do an excellent job of producing quality images that are crisp, deep and beautiful.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Edge lit screens actually have a smoother transition between light scenes and dark and are actually preferred on higher end screens these days.
