QLED vs OLED: A Guide to Samsung and LG TVs

                                                          

       Whether you’re buying a TV this Black Friday or just doing research out of curiosity, the distinction between QLEDs and OLEDs is important to know.  Each TV is unique in its own way, but they are both extremely powerful and possess impressive features.  There’s a reason why these models are regarded as the best TVs in modern technology.

       Before we get into the specifics of each TV, it is important to note the main differences between QLED and OLED:

QLED (Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode)

  • Quantum Dots convert a spectrum of light into different colours
  • Uses liquid crystals for clarity
  • LED backlight for brightness

OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode)

  • An OLED only emits light when electricity is applied
  • Uses organic molecules to generate colour
  • Does not use backlight
