Another reason to avoid edge-lit 4K TVs: According to this report, they can fail faster than others


  • Edge-lit LEDs seem to develop visible problems very early on
  • Problems are especially apparent with larger displays
  • Shop around for discounts on better quality panels

Late last year we published a warning to Black Friday TV buyers: avoid large TVs with cheap edge-lit panels. The main reason was visual quality, as edge-lit panels aren’t great for large formats. But a new report suggests another reason why you should stay clear. Large, edge-lit panels seem to break more quickly than other types of TV screens.

This is evident from Rtings’ ongoing testing of TV longevity, as reported by FlatpanelsHD.com. The tests included 100 different TVs from multiple brands and multiple technologies – edge LED, direct LED, full array local dimming and OLED – and the results for edge LED aren’t great.
