![]() ![]() There are six sizes of OLED TV on the market today and two more sizes, 42-inch and 97-inch, are new for 2022. New for 2022 LG will sell the largest OLED TV yet, the 97-inch G2. In my tests, however, OLED TVs can still get plenty bright for most rooms, and their superior contrast still allows them to deliver a better overall HDR image than any QLED/LCD TV I've tested. The brightest QLED and LCD TVs can get brighter than any OLED model, which is a particular advantage in bright rooms and with HDR content. ![]() QLED/LCD TVs, even the best ones with the most effective full-array local dimming, let some light through, leading to more washed-out, grayer black levels and blooming around bright sections. One of the most important image quality factors is black level, and their emissive nature means OLED TVs can turn unused pixels off completely, for literally infinite contrast. There's some variation among different OLED TVs, for example the LG A2 with its 60Hz panel compared to 120Hz on other OLED TVs, but they're not nearly as significant as the differences between various QLED TV series. Meanwhile, every OLED TV I've reviewed has very similar image quality - all have earned a 10/10 in picture quality in my tests. Instead they're the result of mini-LED backlights, better full-array local dimming, bright highlights and better viewing angles, which help them outperform QLED (and non-QLED) TVs that lack those extras. That's mainly because the biggest improvements in the picture quality of QLED sets don't have much to do with quantum dots. ![]() Samsung and TCL each have multiple QLED series and the most expensive ones perform a lot better than the cheaper ones. Called QD-OLED or QD Display, they're sure to be quite expensive at first, even more than standard OLED TVs, but prices will come down eventually. They promise improved color and brightness compared to current OLED TVs because they use quantum dots - just like QLED TVs. Samsung and Sony will soon debut the first OLED TVs made by Samsung Display. All OLED TVs worldwide, including those in the US, use panels manufactured by LG Display. That difference leads to all kinds of picture quality effects, some of which favor LCD (and QLED), but most of which favor OLED.Īside from the US brands mentioned above, Panasonic, Philips, Grundig and others sell OLED TVs in Europe. The pixels themselves - tiny dots that compose the image - emit light, which is why it's called an "emissive" display technology. Instead, light is produced by millions of individual OLED subpixels. OLED is different because it doesn't use an LED backlight to produce light. OLED TVs don't need LED backlights so, in addition to image quality benefits, they can get amazingly thin. We also pitted a TCL 8K QLED TV against the 2022 LG OLED C2. The Samsung QLED came closer than ever to the LG OLED, but the LG still won. We compared last year's Editors' Choice OLED TV - the LG C1 series - against the best 2022 Samsung 4K QLED TV, the Samsung QN90B series. In our side-by-side comparison reviews, OLED beats QLED every time. So what's the difference between OLED and QLED? We'll start with picture quality. And adding to the confusion, Samsung has an OLED TV of its own in 2022, meaning it sells both OLED and QLED TVs this year. In the last few years LG has dominated the OLED market and its 2022 OLED TV lineup is more extensive than ever, but Sony and Vizio also sell OLED TVs in the US. On the other side of the fence are OLED TVs. TCL also makes QLED TVs, including the excellent 6-Series, and Amazon even has a Fire TV Omni QLED television of its own. For the last few years, Samsung has been branding its TVs "QLED." Its 2022 QLED lineup includes Neo QLED models in 4K and 8K resolution, The Frame art TV, Serif and the Sero rotating TV all bearing the ubiquitous Q.
