IGN: OLED vs QLED: Which Type of TV Wins?

July 8, 2022

Jaron Schneider writing for IGN:

“Quantum Dots, often shortened to QD on television branding, refers to a sheet of dots that are placed between the backlight and the LCD that improves picture quality. As mentioned, LED-backlit televisions have the benefit of getting bright, but this comes at the cost of color accuracy. To get around this, a sheet of Quantum Dots is deployed in front of the bright LEDs.

LEDs are typically blue, so a manufacturer will place a sheet of red and green quantum dots in front of those blue diodes to enhance those colors. The result is a television that has much better color accuracy but with no, or little to no, cost to brightness.”
