5 reasons you need a Mini LED TV

LED backlighting has gotten a whole lot smaller, with bigger and brighter results. Here’s why you need it in a TV…

1. Mini LED is an evolution of the backlighting tech used in LCD/LED screens, substantially increasing the quantity of LEDs (light emitting diodes) that light the LCD (liquid crystal display) pixels to create an image.

2. LCD pixels require a rear light source to create the required brightness and colour. Where standard backlit TVs can contain hundreds of LEDs, Mini LEDs can number in the tens of thousands, and the more there are to light the pixels, the brighter the image and stronger the contrast.

3. Mini LEDs are up to 75 per cent smaller than those in LED displays. When densely packed, they provide greater control over the brightening and dimming of image zones, which is important in creating an accurate contrast ratio of highlights and shadows in a scene. They also eliminate any ‘blooming’ effect on bright objects in dark scenes, like a streetlight.

4. They produce strong contrast for HDR content, eliminating milky-looking blacks. They deliver the type of deep blacks OLED TVs are renowned for, along with the peak brightness of LED panels. It’s the best of both worlds.

5. Mini LED TVs maintain clarity, colour, and depth in well-lit environments, making them ideal for rooms designed to let in a lot of natural light.
