With display technologies evolving rapidly in recent years, it has become common for consumers to come across terms like LED and QLED when looking for a new TV. Despite the similarity of the names, there are fundamental differences between the two technologies that affect picture quality, price, and overall performance, Leaders Center answers in the following article about the difference between LED and QLED TV?

What is the difference between an LED and QLED TV?

The main difference is that a QLED TV is an improved version of an LED TV thatuses Quantum Dots technology to increase screen brightness and improve color accuracy. LED TVs rely on a regular backlit LCD with no additional color enhancements, while QLED TVs rely on a regular backlit LCD with no additional color enhancements.

In other words, every QLED TV is an LED, but not every LED is a QLED.

What is an LED TV?

LED TV is an acronym for Light Emitting Diode, which is based on an LCD screen illuminated by LEDs behind the screen. This technology is the most popular and widespread in the market due to its low cost and good performance in daily use.

Key features of an LED TV:

• Relatively low power consumption
• Affordable prices for all budgets
• Available in many sizes and models
• Suitable for rooms with moderate lighting

Disadvantages:

• Black color quality is limited compared to newer technologies
• Less contrast than QLED or OLED
• Limited viewing angle on some models

What is a QLED TV?

QLED stands for Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode, a technology developed by Samsung and later applied in many modern displays. A layer of “quantum dots” is added on top of the LED panel to improve color accuracy and brightness.

Key features of the QLED TV:

• Higher brightness, making it ideal for rooms with strong lighting
• More accurate and saturated colors, thanks to quantum dot technology
• Longer lifespan compared to OLED
• Excellent performance with high-resolution content (4K and 8K)

Disadvantages:

• It still relies on backlighting, which reduces the quality of blacks compared to OLED
• Higher prices than traditional LED TVs
• Viewing angle may be lower on some models
