What’s the difference? Smart TVs and LED screens, Mini LED (QLED QNED) OLED and Micro LED.

We’ll explore different TV display technologies and their impact on price and picture quality. We will discuss LED, OLED and mini LED displays.

Types of TV Screen Technologies

• LED (light-emitting diode): commonly found in TVs with 100 quantum dot panels.
• OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode): Patented by LG, these screens have self-illuminating organic pixels that result in high contrast and pure blacks.
• Mini LED with quantum dots: This technology combines the advantages of OLED and QLED screens, offering accurate colors and dynamic contrast.

Micro LED technology

• Micro LED is a superior display technology that competes with OLED. It consists of microscopic light-emitting diodes arranged in an array.
• Micro LED displays are thinner, offer perfect black levels, vibrant colors and do not require an encapsulation layer.
• Mini LED is a variation of the micro LED technology used by Samsung in its Neo QLED TVs.

Advantages of each technology

• Micro LED offers the highest image quality, but is currently expensive.
• OLED delivers stunning picture quality with pure blacks and accurate colors.
• Mini LED offers greater accuracy in color reproduction and brightness compared to traditional LEDs.

Understanding LED Technology in TVs

The different ways LED panels are used in TVs compared to LCD monitors. It also discusses the cost advantages of LED technology.

LED Panel Settings

• There are several ways to use LED panels in TVs.
• Some TVs use backlit LED screens, which illuminate the screen in a similar way to LCD screens.
• The commercial difference between TVs that use electrical technology is in the market, with both options available.

Cost Advantage of LEDs

• LEDs (light emitting diodes) are cheaper to produce compared to CCFL tubes used in LCD displays.
• This makes LED TVs more economical from a manufacturing perspective.

Main configurations of LED screens

1. Direct Setup:

   • More affordable option that uses a smaller number of LEDs.

2. Edge Lite Setup:

   • Common configuration where LEDs are placed only on the edges of the screen, allowing for thinner screens.

3. Complete highway configuration:

   • Even distribution of LEDs across the screen for consistent backlighting.

Best TV technologies

• MicroLED and OLED screens are considered the best technologies currently available.
• These technologies provide perfect image quality but come at a higher price.
• Other TV categories, such as premium mid-range and regular mid-range, also use QLED and MiniLED technologies for commercial reasons.
• Manufacturers often use different names for these technologies, causing confusion among consumers.

Different terminologies used by manufacturers

This section addresses the various terms used by manufacturers to refer to their specific technologies, creating confusion among consumers.

MiniLED Terminology Confusion

• Manufacturers use different names for MiniLED technology.
  • LG refers to it as “Neo QLED”.
  • Samsung usa “Mini LED”.
  • Other manufacturers have their own variations.
• It is important to understand that the basic technology remains the same.

Top of the Line and Premium Intermediate TVs

• Top-of-the-line TVs and premium mid-range models use MiniLED technology.
• Different manufacturers may have their own unique names for this technology.
• If unfamiliar terms are found, viewers can leave comments for clarification.
