QLED TV

[Anomalocaris]

I believe you did.  I believe QLED TV still uses a liquid crystal screen to block off light from a uniformly lit LED light source behind it to produce different levels of screen brightness.  LCD screens still can not be completely opaque, and so can not produce true black.   So QLED screen is still just an LED illuminated LCD TV, and suffer from the same problem as all LCD TVs.   The “quantum” part refers to quantum confinement, which allow the screen to compensate for the deficiencies in the color properties of light emitting diodes, but does absolutely nothing to address the shorting comings if LCDs.

But look on the bright side.  You saved $1000-1500.

I too did the comparison and decided what else I can do with my $1000-1500 is worth more to me than blacker blacks on a TV screen.

Thanks so much for the swift reply.

Although I lack your technical expertise, it seems we each  reached the same conclusion; A vey goodTv for the price.. I'd go further; I still have an older Samsung 50 inch plasma. The picture from  TCl is simply better, producing a brighter,  crisper image.

I love new technology, so I usually get a new computer very 3 years, and new TV every 4 years.  so, I've had a few flat screens. From memory, the only  TV I've had which comes close to the TCL was a 32 inch Sony LCD.  Not sure bigger LCD TV's were  available then.


TCL seem to be rapidly growing company. I suspect that is due in large part because they're cheap and the quality is pretty good. We won't know their life span for sometime, I hope.

TCL is a Chinese company that use to produce components for major consumer electronic brands, including Samsung.    When Samsung decided to tout QLED as its answer to LG’s OLED, both Samsung and LG decided the key to winning their contest with each other is market presence and name recognition.  So they both went about recruiting other major brands to use their technology and trade mark.   LG scooped big and got Sony onboard OLED, probably because OLED was a better technology and probably had more future.    Samsung decided to leverage its supply chain in China and get its subcontractors to sell TV under their own names using the Samsung QLED TTADE MARK, since they were making QLED TVs for Samsung already.

With Sony onboard, and the technical superiority of OLED, I think QLED’s days are numbered.
