What is OLED and how does QD-OLED differ

OLED TV (Organic Light Emitting Diode)

Each pixel lights up on its own, giving perfect blacks and strong contrast. OLED is great for movies and TV shows, especially in dark rooms.

QD-OLED TV (Quantum Dot OLED)

This is a newer version of OLED that adds a special layer of quantum dots. This makes colours look brighter, especially in well-lit rooms or when watching HD content.
