I am confused about the difference between LED and LCD in television. Can you explain the difference?

Sure, I think most people would just say LEDs are used in displays with lots of pixels, like computer displays, and LCDs are used in displays with few pixels, like television screens.

What doe LED and LCD stand for?
user
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, and LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display.  They’re just fancy names for electronic light sources and electronic display devices, that’s all!

Does one have a better picture quality over the other?
user
That’s a great question! I’d say it’s likely LED-based displays have better picture quality.  For example, LCDs (the liquid crystal displays you’re thinking of) have problems that make them worse for some uses, such as watching movies.  You can see a comparison of their various strengths and weaknesses here.

Please show me the comparison.
