QLED vs. OLED: Which TV display type is better?

QLED TVs are a type of LCD (liquid crystal display) that incorporate a color technology called quantum dots into their screens.

OLED TVs use "organic light-emitting diode" panels, not LED-backlit LCDs.

Unlike QLED, OLED TVs rely on an entirely different technology.

The "QLED" acronym is more of a marketing term than a truly distinct TV technology.

OLED TVs are still the kings of contrast and black levels, no matter which model you buy.

QLEDs rely on a backlight, which can cause black levels to look elevated while veering more toward a gray or slightly blue appearance.

Even the best local dimming implementations still introduce side effects that OLED TVs don't suffer from.

High brightness is most useful when watching TV in a room that lets in a lot of light, so pumping up the brightness can help overcome glare.

All OLED TVs offer better viewing angles than even the best QLED models.

QLED TVs are not 100% protected from this problem, but cases of burn-in on a QLED are so uncommon that they're not considered to be at risk.
