When choosing a new TV, you may wonder which technology is better – Neo QLED or OLED. This article helps you compare both options in detail. Whether you watch daily soaps, stream movies, play games, or use your TV for presentations, this guide will help you decide.

A recent report shows over 30% of premium TV buyers look at display technology before buying. So, understanding what suits your needs is important.

If you are planning to buy a Neo QLED or OLED TV, start by checking your loan eligibility. This helps you set a clear budget and narrow down your choices. Then, visit Bajaj Mall to explore the latest models. Once you decide, you can buy your preferred TV from over 1.5 lakh Bajaj Finserv partner stores across 4,000 cities. Select models are available on Easy EMIs and with zero down payment, making your purchase smooth and stress-free.

Introduction to Neo QLED and OLED display technologies

Both Neo QLED and OLED are advanced display technologies used in modern smart TVs. Each comes with unique features, benefits, and use cases. Understanding these basics can help you decide which TV is the right choice.

  • Neo QLED TVs use Quantum Mini LEDs combined with a layer of quantum dots. This helps improve brightness, colour, and contrast. The backlighting system is precise, allowing sharp and detailed images, even in bright rooms.
  • OLED TVs, on the other hand, use organic pixels that light up on their own. This allows each pixel to switch off fully, creating perfect blacks and high contrast. OLED TVs are ideal for dark rooms and offer smooth visuals.

Both technologies offer 4K resolution, smart features, and support for HDR formats. However, the way they create and control light makes a big difference in your viewing experience.

Choosing between Neo QLED and OLED depends on what matters most to you—picture quality, durability, or budget. Here is how each performs in value:
