Post LED's and LCD's for Gaming-which one is better?


Its a major disadvantage to use LCD's because it has a shorter life span when compared to LED's but there are also other advantages for using it. Which one is better for gaming? Does LCD Displays give out 60 to 120 Refresh rates such as LED's do at 4K?

We're slowly moving from LCD displays to LED displays. So getting an LED will be more future-proof.
LED offers better contrast ratio because it doesn't have a backlight. So blacks look much blacker on an LED screen.
LED also uses less electricity, so it's more cost efficient.

Apart from that, I don't think there's any major difference in visuals between the two. For gaming, screen size will be important.
Most LED TVs have an LCD display with an LED backlight. But a proper LED TV has no backlight - it doesn't need one.
