Both FHD and LED screens are often mentioned in our daily life. Because both display technologies bring wonderful images to our display industry, when we understand these two technologies, we are usually impressed by the excellent performance of both.
About FHD Screen
FHD stands for Full High Definition, so FHD screen is a Full High Definition screen with a resolution of 1920*1080 pixels. It has 2.25 times more pixel dots than 720P (1280*720), so the FHD screen has a sharper and more detailed picture.
FHD ScreenAbout LED screens
LED screen is a display technology made with LED light beads. It allows us to freely customize the shape, size, and resolution, whether it’s HD, FHD, or 2K resolution.
HD LED DisplayExplore the differences between FHD screens and LED screens
Resolution
Regardless of LCD, LED or other display screens, as long as the screen meets 1920*1080 pixels, it belongs to FHD screen. However, LED screen does not have only one resolution, but it is calculated according to the actual splicing area, so in addition to splicing out the FHD screen, the resolution like 2K, 4K and so on can also be easily realized.
Cost
The higher the resolution, the more expensive, this rule applies to all displays. LED screens are able to achieve a higher resolution than FHD screens, therefore, LED displays naturally cost more than FHD screens.
Screen size
The vast majority of FHD screens are not large, usually between 17–32 inches, and are mainly used in laptops, TVs and other display devices. If the screen is a larger size in Full HD resolution, the performance is not good, then you need to apply a more high-definition resolution.
LED screen by being able to larger size to display full HD resolution, but this display effect is still limited, want to get a better picture quality, it is best to match each other.
Refresh Rate
The refresh rate of FHD screen is generally 60hz, and some high-end FHD screen for gaming can reach 120Hz, however, the ①refresh rate of LED display is calculated differently from that of FHD screen, so it seems to be much larger than FHD screen, but the actual effect is corresponding to the refresh rate of FHD screen.
LED display has three refresh rates of 960Hz, 1920Hz and 3840Hz, which correspond to 60hz, 120hz and 144hz of FHD screen respectively.
① LED display refresh rate calculation method: within one minute, the LED light can be lit and extinguished the number of times is the LED display refresh rate. For example, in 1 minute, the number of times the LED light is lit and extinguished is 57,600, then 57,600 times divided by 60 seconds to get 960hz, which is the refresh rate of the LED display.
Brightness
Brightness has always been an important indicator of the quality of a display screen. Why we often say that OLED screens are better than LCD screens, one of the big reasons is that the brightness and contrast of OLED screens are able to achieve a display effect that cannot be realized by LCD screens. This is put on the FHD monitor and LED display is also applicable.
FHD screens have a lower brightness, usually between 250–500 nits, making them suitable for indoor use.
However, LED displays are different, depending on the scenario in which they are used. Indoor LED displays are between 800–1200 nits, while outdoor LED displays are between 4000-6000nits.
Lifespan
Among all display devices, LED screens have a much longer service life than other similar display devices. On the one hand, from the LED display can be self-luminous, can be less energy consumption; On the other hand, the LED display uses organic compounds and excellent packaging technology, can be very good to protect the LED chip in the use of the chip is not easy to damage.
Energy Saving
Energy saving has always been the strong point of LED series. This is because the FHD screen not only need to use the backlight, but also need to light up the liquid crystal, more of this step, naturally need to spend more energy.
The LED series can light up directly when the power is turned on, which not only reduces energy consumption, but also realizes a more energy-efficient display.
Maintenance Costs
The backlight of the FHD screen and the liquid crystal material, with the passage of time, it is easy to appear black spots and bad spots. Once this problem occurs, usually need to replace the entire screen, or it affects the use of experience, so the maintenance cost is very high.
However, LED display is different, it consists of many identical LED modules. When the use process, a LED display module failure, only need to replace the same LED display module up, can be used normally. Compared with FHD screen, the maintenance cost is much lower.
Response time
The response time determines the experience of using software and games. Imagine a computer with a response time of 0.1 seconds and another computer with a response time of 0.5 seconds, when the two computers are playing against each other in real time, the computer with a response time of 0.5 seconds may not be able to react before being defeated by another player with a shorter response time.
Although we rarely play games on LED displays, it is undeniable that the response time of LED displays is much faster than FHD screens. Because each LED on an LED display is able to switch instantly, we barely feel the screen switching, making the experience great.
FHD VS LED ScreenFHD vs. LED screen: which is better?
Both have their own application scenarios, if you are using the screen for a desktop or wall, then the price of the FHD screen may be more advantageous.
If your viewing distance is farther and the screen is larger, then an LED display would be more suitable. LED screens allow you to freely customize the area and shape, resulting in a more personalized and differentiated display.
Summarize
We have made a detailed comparison between LED screen and FHD screen from many angles, and we can find that all the performances of LED display are much better than FHD screen, the only shortcoming is that the price of LED screen is much more expensive than FHD screen.
