Different types of TVs

  • LCD TVs: LCD (Liquid Crystal display) TVs are a common and affordable option for everyday viewing. They use liquid crystals and a backlight to produce images. These TVs are suitable for budget-conscious consumers who want decent picture quality without spending a lot.
  • LED TVs: LED (Light emitting diode) TVs are an advanced version of LCD TVs, using LED backlighting instead of traditional CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamps). This upgrade provides better brightness, improved energy efficiency, and a thinner design. LED TVs offer enhanced picture quality compared to standard LCDs, making them a popular choice for a wide range of viewers.
  • OLED TVs: OLED (Organic Light emitting diode) TVs represent a significant advancement in display technology. Unlike LCD and LED TVs, OLEDs do not require a backlight. Instead, each pixel emits its own light, allowing for true blacks, superior contrast, and wide viewing angles.
  • QLED TVs: QLED (Quantum dot Light emitting diode) TVs use quantum dots to enhance colour and brightness. These TVs are a step up from traditional LED models, offering exceptional colour accuracy and high brightness levels, which are particularly beneficial for HDR (High dynamic Range) content. QLED TVs provide vibrant colours and perform well in bright environments, making them suitable for living rooms with numerous natural light.

Explore the collection of 43-inch QLED TV on Bajaj Mall for vibrant colours and outstanding brightness, along with their prices and features. This TV is designed to provide an exceptional viewing experience with advanced display technology.

Image quality of LCD, LED, QLED, OLED

  • LCD: LCD TVs offer decent image quality with good brightness levels, making them suitable for standard lighting conditions. However, they often struggle with deep blacks and contrast ratios, leading to less vibrant images. Colours can be good but may wash out in bright scenes or at wider viewing angles.
  • LED: LED TVs improve upon the basic LCD technology by using LED backlighting, resulting in better brightness and energy efficiency. The picture quality is enhanced with improved contrast and colour accuracy, making them a good choice for general viewing in various lighting conditions.
  • QLED: QLED TVs use quantum dots to enhance colour and brightness, offering exceptional image quality. They provide superior colour accuracy and high brightness levels, making them ideal for HDR content and brightly lit rooms. The contrast is better than standard LEDs, though not quite as high as OLEDs.
  • OLED: OLED TVs deliver the best image quality with true blacks and infinite contrast ratios due to their self-emitting pixels. Colours are vibrant and natural, providing an outstanding viewing experience from any angle. OLEDs excel in dark room settings, making them perfect for movie enthusiasts.

For the best picture quality, check out the OLED TV options on Bajaj Mall with excellent features and competitive prices. You can easily compare different models to find the one that best suits your needs and budget.
