What is
QLED TV?
Ever wonder what a QLED TV is
and how it works?
Let us break it down for you.
What’s a QLED TV and a Quantum dot?
A QLED TV is a Quantum dot-based TV, and that Quantum dot material is what makes QLED TVs different from conventional ones.
Quantum dots are ultra-fine semiconductor materials of nanoscale size. These dots produce different colors of light depending on the particle size—the larger the size the more red the color, and the smaller the size the more blue the color. They are able to emit precise colored light because particle sizes adjust at quantum-level velocities, resulting in accurate and efficient light emissions. The greater efficiency in luminance brings about tremendous changes in overall picture quality.
What's special
about QLED TVs?
QLED TVs take advantage of the many unique characteristics that Quantum dots offer such as "high luminance". Luminance refers to how bright a screen looks and that brightness is an important factor affecting other elements of image quality. First, contrast ratio is naturally improved when brightness is higher. When bright and dark representation of videos and images can be widely expressed, it's known as HDR (high dynamic range). This HDR, which is an essential component of picture quality, is enhanced further providing crisp and rich images.
Now, let's have a look at how all this affects colour.
The effect of brightness on overall colour quality is simple. For example in the red colour spectrum there is a range of bright and dark reds, but QLED TVs express this range of colours better. This unique QLED technology, along with other black implementation technologies such as Direct Full Array, provides a completely different picture quality and a more realistic viewing experience compared to non-QLED TVs.
What is burn-in?
Burn-in is a permanent defect in the panel where a residual screen image appears permanently on screen. If you think about frequently displayed images such as broadcaster logos, they are in the same fixed area for a certain period of time. Repeatedly displaying the same logo in the same place is enough to result in Burn-in. QLED TVs use Quantum dots which are inorganic, durable, stable and allow for excellent colour and brightness. QLED TVs have the advantage in that you can watch your content for long periods of time without having to worry about Burn-in—allowing for an overall longer TV lifespan.

Review from users
of QLED TV
If you plan to get a QLED TV, you'll naturally want to see testimonials from users and see how satisfied they are. Let's take a look at some of the QLED TV reviews from consumers who have purchased them.
“Looking at this tv is like looking through a window!
Such a clear picture.”
75” Q950R QLED / May.2019 / UK / samsung.com
“The picture quality is great, the blacks look incredible, and the vibrance of the colours is out of this world.”
