The most affordable type of display technology , LED TVs use a combination of LED ( light-emitting diode ) backlighting and LCD ( liquid-crystal display ) technology to form a quality picture . While LED models may be thicker than other types of TVs , they perform well in most lighting situations and offer decent contrast .
LED TVs are typically quite energy efficient . Cheaper to purchase than OLED TVs , they may have limited viewing angles , depending on the model chosen . Black areas may not have the same depth as provided by OLED TVs .
QLED or “ Quantum dot Light Emitting Diodes ”, are particles that absorb and redistribute light supplied by an LED panel as a much brighter and purer light source . Quantum Dots are luminous crystals that glow when light is shined on them .
In essence , QLED TVs work in the same way as a regular LED TV , however they use a quantum dot colour filter in front of its LCD backlight , which delivers increased brightness , accuracy , saturation and contrast .
