OLED (Organic Light Emiting Diode) technology is truly amazing and many manufacturers speak for a while about the ability to launch large diagonal HDTVs that use it. It is one of the reasons why there was so much interest when LG launched its new 55 inch OLED TV at CES 2012. It is gorgeous, both exterior and interior.

You will not find it in the nearest store at the moment I am writing this article (March 2012), but very soon you will and then you would better know the difference between OLED and LED TV on the market today. However, don’t get me wrong, LED’s are amazing too.

First, what is the difference? The main difference is that OLED TVs do not need a light source (backlight). They produce their own light, with the help of electrical current passing through the organic diodes. On LED TVs, the diode light created passes through a liquid crystal display. So although it eliminates the traditional light source, there are several layers that increase the thickness.

What happens when you compare an OLED TV with a normal LED TV?

Thickness

LG 55 inches OLED HDTV is not only the largest OLED TV at the moment, but is also the thinnest and lightest TV. Although he is 55 inches, it weighs only 7.5 kg and profile measuring is less than 4mm. Instead, even the largest thin LED TV does not measure less than 30 mm.

Contrast and black level

Adjustable LED TVs use technology to create dark areas. This means that black levels are dark but they can never be truly black. OLED screen may close areas needed depending on the scene. Besides, OLED TVs boast infinite contrast ratio, showing even the smallest details with the greatest accuracy and clarity. Together gives you the best experience. Because this we cannot compare the contrast in those two technologies.

Color Accuracy

Again, because OLED technology emits its own light, OLED TVs can create virtually any color in the spectrum. Not as is the case LED TVs which have to pass light through a matrix color LCD to produce the color. The process of creating color for OLED TV’s is much easier and more accurate, resulting in a much richer experience. LEDs do a good job but OLEDs are always on top.

Viewing angle

Nothing can competes with OLED technology when it comes to viewing angles. Viewed from any angle and any position played OLED colors remain the same. LED technology represented a significant advance compared to normal LCDs, but you cannot compare with OLED technology.

Truly Green

LED TVs are quite energy efficient. Based on low power consumption, the packaging is easier, technology is more environmentally friendly than CCFL or LCD. But it cannot do what OLED technology can make. Because it does not need a light source, OLED technology uses significantly less energy during operation and standby. In addition, due to low weight and small size, the packaging is lighter and transportation costs are lower.

Now that you know the differences between OLED and LED technology you can search for the best HDTV deals or you can take a look at thesebest 60 inch tv available on the market today.

After you install the operating system, you must configure your computer to participate in a network environment. What is a network you might ask? A network is a group of computers and other devices, like mobile phones and network printers that are connected to each other. This way all these devices are able to share information’s and resources. Shared resources can include folders, printers and Internet access connections.

In order to connect to a network, a device must have a network interface card (NIC). The network card is a hardware component that allows a device to connect to the network. Some network cards are integrated into the computers motherboard and some others come as an extra module.

Besides the physical connection that allows you to connect to the network, you will also have to configure the operating system in order to participate in the network. Every computer or network device requires an IP address, a subnet mask and a default gateway. This address identifies the computer on the network. Let’s say that this is the name of your computer inside the network. The subnet mask is used to identify the network on which the computer is connected and the default gateway identifies the device that the computer uses to access the Internet or another network. We can configure the IP address manually or automatically.

Manual IP Configuration

If you choose the manual configuration you will have to go to every single device and type the required values via the keyboard. Remember that you need to login as an administrator for this job. The IP address that we enter manually is called “static IP address” and is permanently assigned to the device.

Dynamic IP Configuration

Computers and other network capable devices can also be configured to receive an IP address dynamically. This allows a device to request an address from a DHCP server that has a pool of IP addresses. When you close the device the IP address becomes available again and another computer can use it. The automatic configuration is very beneficial because you can save a lot of time and avoid assigning the same IP address to more than one computer on the network.

Along with the IP address, you must also configure the computer name. This is the human friendly name that other users will use every time they want to access your computer on the network. Every individual system must have a unique name assigned to it. Finally, you can type a computer description to provide additional information on the location or function of the device.
