Direct LED backlighting is an advanced technology in flat-screen TVs and monitors. Unlike traditional methods, it places a matrix of LEDs evenly across the entire back of the screen. This allows for precise brightness control for improved contrast ratios and deeper blacks. Individual control creates local dimming zones, resulting in more vibrant images with greater depth. Additionally, the technology is more energy-efficient, as LEDs only produce light where it is needed. In summary, Direct LED backlighting offers impressive picture quality and energy efficiency.
