QLED Tvs

What is QLED?

Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode has been developed and improved for a number of years already, and was rebranded as QLED. It’s similar to OLED where the small molecules used, the quantum dots, emit colored light when direct light is shone on them. These quantum dots are enclosed in a film which forms one of many layers in a QLED TV. In short, a QLED TV works like an LCD TV, but has an extra quantum dot layer that improves brightness and color contrast compared to “standard” LCD TVs. However, it’s important to remember that not all QLED TVs are identical.

QLED vs OLED

There is one question commonly asked when looking for a new QLED TV: Is QLED worth it? This is because there are other options like OLED TVs available. When making the decision between QLED and OLED, there are a number of points to consider. You, of course, will be taking image quality into consideration, but you should also think about the screen size, as well as the overall price when selecting your QLED TV.

QLED vs OLED Image Quality

When comparing the image quality on these two television types, each one has its own set of pros and cons. For better black levels, the OLED is the superior option due to its ability to have each pixel light individually. On the reverse side, in terms of overall brightness, the QLED is brighter. This is a must for people who have their TV in a room with a large amount of sunlight, or those who have high-dynamic-range (HDR) content. So how do they compare in terms of color quality? Generally, QLED TVs deliver a wider range of colors than OLED. However, the color range on both types of TVs will vary from set to set; some OLED sets will match or best QLED sets, and vice versa. When it comes to qualities like resolution, video processing, and other image factors, OLED and QLED perform about the same, with neither having a distinct advantage over the other.

OLED vs QLED Screen Size

Currently, OLED TVs only come in four sizes (55, 65, 77, and 88 inch), while QLED TVs have twice the amount, going up to 98 inches! Plus, the prices on most QLEDs are significantly cheaper than OLED sets. For example, while a 65 inch OLED can costs around $2,500, a 65 inch Q7 QLED can cost around $1,250, that’s about half the price! But remember, as stated before, this is only in general, and it will differ from set to set.

When comparing OLED vs QLED for gaming, QLED is the best choice for PC gamers. They can easily take advantage of FreeSync to help refresh the monitor and have it sync with their game. Not only that, but OLEDs run the risk of image burning if you game for numerous hours in a day.

QLED vs UHD and QLED vs SUHD

Another comparison that comes up from time to time is comparing the QLED to UHD and SUHD. However, it’s important to note that both UHD and SUHD are exactly the same thing in every way, except that while SUHD displays use QLED technology, UHD may or may not, it’s really just the amount of pixels. As such, UHD have similar pros and cons, like the lack of a being able to display “true black”, but being able to display a great color contrast.

In many cases, the QLED TV comes out on top, in part to having the advantage in brightness, capability, size, and lifespan. While not perfect, the black levels and off-angle viewing are vastly improved. For most people, it will make more sense to purchase the QLED over the OLED, simply thanks to it offering a better picture during daytime hours. However, the ultimate decision between an OLED or QLED TV will be yours.
