Samsung Neo QLED vs Samsung QD OLED

Neo QLED televisions have Mini-LED local dimming All these LED lights behind the screen light up individually, which allows for a high brightness. As a result, you'll also see more differences in color tones. For example, you'll recognize both light green and dark green color tones in the image of a lawn. Neo QLED televisions use Quantum Dots on the screen. These crystals filter light, which allows them to display the right color very precisely. In combination with Mini-LED local dimming, a Neo QLED TV displays a wide color representation and a high brightness.

Originally, OLED televisions have a lower brightness than Neo QLED televisions. That's because regular OLED TVs use a color filter that blocks light instead of enhancing it, like Quantum Dots do. QD OLED televisions have Quantum Dots on the screen, which is why these televisions can display a higher brightness and wider color gamut. As a result, you'll recognize many different blue color tones in images of a clear blue sky.

Because the thousands of LED lights behind a Neo QLED screen can light up and dim individually, a Neo QLED screen displays deep black images. As a result, the stars in a starry sky are extra bright against the dark background. The Quantum Dot layer on the screen filters light, so it can display the right colors precisely. In combination with Mini-LED local dimming and the deep black levels, this ensures a strong contrast. You might see a halo around a bright part of the image occasionally. This effect is called blooming. Thanks to Mini-LED, this isn't very often because the LED lights are controlled individually.

An OLED screen has millions of individually illuminating pixels. Because the pixels can turn off themselves, an OLED screen can display deep black. You'll see this clearly with images of the New York skyline, for example. The lights of the skyscrapers look really bright against the black sky. QD OLED adds Quantum Dots to the screen. These are nano crystals that convert light to color. Because QD OLED televisions display a wider color volume in addition to deep black levels, a QD OLED TV displays an improved brightness and viewing angle.

Do you mostly watch TV during the day? Neo QLED televisions have a better anti-glare screen than QD OLED televisions. This makes these TVs better suitable for watching television during the day. You'll barely be bothered with annoying reflections when TV is placed in front of a window. The intensity of the anti-glare screen of a Neo QLED television differs per model.

Do you mostly watch TV at night? QD OLED televisions have a higher brightness than Neo QLED televisions. In combination with the wider viewing angle, this makes the televisions very suitable for watching TV at night. A Neo QLED television is suitable for watching TV at night too, but a QD OLED television comes out best in this situation.
