Which TV buy? QLED TV, OLED TV or LED TV?

Unfortunately, buying a new TV is still as confusing today as ever. The best televisions advertise with numerous functions such as OLED, Q-LED, HDR, Ultra HD 4K, 120 Hz and HDMI 2.1, which make it difficult to find out what is really worth it. Two of the most important TV terms you will see are QLED and OLED. They differ only in a letter, but the technologies they describe are very different.

Our range includes a variety of products and for every application and need must be compared. A package judgment cannot be felled and the panel technique is to be considered differently in every application.

As with most products, the difference starts at the prices. As a rule, you usually get the class of the product, where you can get in the price. Starting with Basic LCD technology, the most popular technology until a few years ago. This already offers for little money, a good basis for image and sound. Most of the smart TV can also be found. Supported by Led Backlight, we are already in the next level of image quality.

The QLED as well as OLED TVs shine in the areas of color rendering, contrast and black levels. What is the optimal image quality for a television? For most customers clearly a reproduction that we know from nature as true to the original. In recent years, Samsung has referred to its television equipment as QLED. The QLED series 2022 includes the NEO QLED models in 4K and 8K resolution, the Frame Art TV, the Serif and the Sero Rotating TV, all of which carry the omnipresent Q. The OLED TV In 2022 from LG there are six series, from relatively affordable A2 to 88-inch 8k giant Z2.

Not only the image is important for TV sets, but also have to compare the functions such as smart TV properties, gaming features, connection options and, last but not least, user-friendliness.

We go into a little deeper and take the two techniques OLED and QLED under the magnifying glass.

The fight Oled vs. QLED goes beyond Samsung and LG. TCL calls its best televisions "QLED" and in addition to LG, other companies also sell OLED TV, namely Sony and Vizio. And to enlarge the confusion, Samsung will soon offer an OLED TV.

Leave us a difference - QLED Vs. OLED image quality - very simply understand. In comparison of the image quality, OLED QLED every time. We have the best LG Oled TV in 2021 - the LG G1 series - with the best Samsung QLED TV of 2021 - the QN90A series - compared. The Samsung came closer to the OLED image quality than ever, but the LG Oled still won. Another current example was a TCL 8K QLED TV against another LG OLED TV, the C1 series. The OLED TV has also won here.

The new TVs in 2022 are not yet on the market, but as soon as they are available for testing, it is expected that OLED TV the QLED TV will continue to exceed.

Image of OLED & LCD?
