Shopping for a new TV can be daunting. Technology and terminology can be very confusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We compiled <strong>this helpful guide<\/strong> to get you up to speed on <strong>QLED vs UHD TV<\/strong> technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re researching TVs to buy, you&#8217;ve probably come across two industry terms &#8211; QLED and UHD. QLED is a category name for TVs that use quantum dot technology. UHD is also known as 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do these mean, and what&#8217;s the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, it is essential to understand that there&#8217;s no &#8220;one or the other&#8221; or &#8220;one is better than the other&#8221; here. QLED and UHD describe entirely <strong>different technologies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"?Ultra High Definition&quot; or UHD refers to the TV having a 4K display resolution\" class=\"wp-image-5711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli-788x525.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/v-series-soundbar-lifestyle2_guetzli.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What does UHD stand for?

Quantum dots emit red and green light when blue light shines through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light from the LED panel travels through a quantum dot screen before reaching the liquid-crystal display (LCD) at the front of the QLED TV.

It&#8217;s a <strong>film of tiny crystal semiconductor<\/strong> particles that replace old TVs&#8217; red, green, and blue color filters. Quantum dot filters can precisely control their color output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are differences in quantum dot implementation. Quantum dot offers a step-up color performance, but not all quantum dots are created equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Various levels of quantum dot implementations available in the industry provide different levels of color performance. Color is measured using what&#8217;s called the rec2020 color space. The more color space coverage, the better. Color space is the standard Dolby Vision, and other HDR formats are used. It is the most expansive color space currently available for electronic displays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll find the &#8216;QLED&#8217; label on a few TV brands, including TCL and Hisense, but generally, it refers to a Samsung TV. Recently, Vizio has entered the QLED TV market, utilizing Samsung&#8217;s quantum dot technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-1024x562.jpg\" alt=\"quantum dot filters are a film of tiny crystal semi-conductor particles which replace the red, green and blue color filters in older TVs\" class=\"wp-image-5709\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-1024x562.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-767x421.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-1536x843.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-2048x1124.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc-788x432.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.curvedview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/2020-qled-tv-f05-2-color-volume-100-pc.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">QLED TVs have a quantum dot filter, a film of tiny crystal semiconductor particles that replace the red, green, and blue color filters that old TVs used.

Starting at budget-friendly sizes (43 inches!), these models pack a punch with up to 80% wider color gamut than your average UHD TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That translates to richer, more lifelike hues, and with 600 nits of peak brightness, even dimly lit scenes pop with detail. And to ensure deep blacks and stunning contrast, VIZIO throws in up to 90 local dimming zones, like the tiny heroes of the picture world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"p-series-quantum-where-performance-takes-center-stage\">P-Series Quantum: Where Performance Takes Center Stage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ready to graduate to advanced viewing?

But the party doesn&#8217;t stop there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P-Series Quantum cranks the brightness up to a jaw-dropping 3000 nits, meaning even sunlit scenes retain dazzling clarity. With up to 480 local dimming zones, say goodbye to washed-out blacks and hello to stunning contrast that immerses every scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"v-series-quantum-the-new-kid-on-the-block\">V-Series Quantum: The New Kid on the Block<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you looking for a sweet spot between M-Series value and P-Series power? Enter the V-Series Quantum, the newest member of the VIZIO Quantum family. It strikes a perfect balance with Dolby Vision HDR, a color gamut spanning up to 85% of Rec.2020, and peak brightness reaching 300 nits. Think of it as your gateway to premium picture quality without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"choosing-your-quantum-champion\">Choosing Your Quantum Champion:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With all this Quantum goodness, picking the perfect TV can be a delightful dilemma.

Let&#8217;s dive into some notable players making waves in the QLED scene:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"hisense\">Hisense<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hailing from China, Hisense has carved a niche with its ULED technology, which incorporates quantum dots into its own unique backlight solution. Hisense ULED TVs boast impressive brightness, often exceeding Samsung&#8217;s QLED offerings, making them ideal for well-lit rooms or HDR content. Additionally, their 8K ULED models are a tempting option for future-proof gaming setups, thanks to their high resolution and competitive price tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tcl\">TCL<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A rising star in the TV market, TCL is known for delivering excellent value for money. Their QLED lineup comes in various series, each catering to different budgets and needs. The 5-Series is a budget-friendly option with decent picture quality, while the 6-Series steps it up with higher brightness, better contrast, and more premium features. And for those seeking an extra punch, the QM8 series delivers top-notch performance with Mini LED backlighting and advanced gaming features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"sony\">Sony<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sony, a giant in the electronics world, doesn&#8217;t ignore QLED entirely. While their Bravia XR OLEDs take center stage, they offer a few QLED models like the X95L Mini LED. This high-end TV merges Quantum Dot technology with Mini LED backlighting, resulting in exceptional brightness, contrast, and HDR performance. However, be prepared for a premium price tag that reflects its cutting-edge features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"lg\">LG<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While primarily known for their industry-leading OLED TVs, LG also dabbles in QLED with their QNED series. These models combine Quantum Dot technology with LG&#8217;s NanoCell technology, aiming to improve color accuracy and viewing angles. QNED TVs can be a good option for those seeking an alternative to OLED who value wider viewing angles and potentially lower price points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"skyworth\">Skyworth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Emerging from China, Skyworth is a brand to watch, especially for budget-conscious buyers. Their QLED TVs offer decent picture quality at attractive prices, making them a solid choice for casual viewers. While they may not compete with high-end offerings from other brands, they provide a good entry point into the QLED world without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, choosing the right QLED TV goes beyond brand alone. Consider factors like screen size, resolution, HDR support, gaming features, and smart TV platform to find the perfect fit for your needs and budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Explore the offerings from these and other QLED manufacturers, compare features, and read reviews to discover the hidden gems waiting to elevate your home viewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-i-buy-a-qled-tv\">Should I buy a QLED TV?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With advancements in QLED technology, high-end TVs now offer exceptional picture quality at more accessible prices. Deciding to purchase a QLED TV largely depends on your budget. Premium QLED models, especially those with top-tier features, can still be a significant investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2024, the pinnacle of QLED TVs includes models with 8K resolution. While 8K is unnecessary for every viewer, its benefits are most noticeable on larger screens, such as those over 75 inches. If you&#8217;re considering a TV of this size, opting for 8K could enhance your viewing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"quantum-leap-in-tv-technology\">Quantum Leap in TV Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The 2024 QLED TV lineup<\/strong> boasts sleek designs, advanced features, and cutting-edge technology. Choose from elegant 4K models or top-tier 8K displays, each offering stunning visuals with quantum dot technology at competitive prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For superior picture quality, QLED TVs are an ideal choice. Currently, 4K Ultra HD TVs strike the perfect balance between advanced technology and affordability, making them a prime option for those seeking high-quality displays without stretching their budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make one your own, learn which time of year is the <a data-lasso-id=\"456\" href=\"https:\/\/curvedview.com\/best-time-to-buy-a-tv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best time to buy a TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"qled-vs-uhd-tv-quantum-dot-faq\">QLED vs UHD TV: Quantum Dot FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658963650630\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is QLED?<\/strong> <\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A TV panel technology that uses quantum dot technology to create or enhance the color of TV screens.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1658963663606\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Which is better, QLED or UHD?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>One is not better than the other.
