QLED TV vs Neo QLED 8K: how Samsung TVs are changing.

Mini LED is the key.

Anyone paying attention to 2021’s new Samsung TVs will notice that there’s some new terminology being thrown around: Neo QLED.

Yes, there are enough acronyms in the TV market already, and you may feel exasperated at having to constantly learn new words and terms. However, Neo QLED does mark a significant change in Samsung’s TV technology, and if you want to keep abreast of the latest and greatest televisions, you’ll want to get your head around it.

It's not the same thing as QLED, which has been Samsung's premium TV technology for the past few years.

So what is Neo QLED, what marks it out from regular QLED, and what TVs does it apply to? Here’s what you need to know.

What is Neo QLED?
Neo QLED is an evolution of Samsung’s existing QLED technology, which stands for ‘quantum dot LED’. That’s because QLED TVs use a ‘quantum dot’ filter to increase contrast and color vibrancy.

Samsung has made sure its premium televisions all use QLED technology since 2017, when it rebranded its SUHD (Super UHD) range, at least partially to invite comparison with the ‘OLED’ televisions that now hold sway over the market.

The impact of a QLED panel varies depending on a variety of factors, though, including but not limited to the processor being used, as well as the efficacy of the backlight behind the panel.

Lower-end QLED TVs make do with an edge-lighting system that – as the name suggests – lights up the panel from two sides, rather than directly behind it. This allows the TV to stay somewhat slim, but means that the light is spread inconsistently across the screen, and won’t make for the best picture.

High-end QLED TVs will use a Direct Full Array backlight, which shines light through the panel from behind, and will offer more precise brightness control and consistency (therefore allowing better contrast between light and dark parts of the screen, crucial for effective HDR highlights and general picture excellence).

Even these TVs vary in quality of backlight, though, depending on the peak brightness available (1,000 nits, 2,000 nits, etc) and the number of ‘dimmable zones’ that can vary in their level of brightness. More zones means more control over small and specific areas of the screen, so you want as many as technically possible.

Neo QLED changes things up a little. The direct array is replaced by a Mini LED backlight, using tens of thousands of tiny LEDs for vastly more precise brightness control. It’s not quite on the level of OLED, with its individual pixel control, but it’s certainly a step up for LCD screens.

What difference does this make?
If it’s deployed effectively, Mini LED backlighting should allow LCD panels to get much closer to OLED levels of performance than has been possible before. These theoretical advantages are pretty compelling.

And, of course, that’s without OLED’s perceived problems: LED/LCD technology has never been the subject of screen-burn scare stories, nor does it fall prey to the eventual but inevitable drop-off in performance that’s the price of the ‘organic’ element of OLED.

Of course, the success of Mini LED will come down to the way the technology is implemented. There’s a lot of variation in the performance of similarly priced, similarly specified LED-backlit LCD screens – you only have to have a quick glance at our numerous TV reviews to see that. And if some TVs are found wanting when it comes to controlling a few dozen backlight dimming zones, can they really be expected to be any better when they have control of what could be thousands?

In 2020 they massively reduced the amount of dimming zones compared to the 2019 lineup, just to make Mini LED more attractive again by massively increasing the amount of dimming zones again with Mini-LED in 2021. But to be honest, in a side-by-side comparison the differences are minimal. Micro LED is the future, Mini LED is only an intermediate step and everyone with a FALD Display should not jump on this train and should wait a few years to get the Micro LED display.

The information was great. But wow, I had a hard time getting through the video with this computer narrated voice.

Thanks for this but it's far too technical with too much jargon, without telling the viewer the basics of the real world differences between the old and new technologies. An opinion on whether its worth the investment or not, would have been invaluable too.

[danieldiaz]

Sounds great but I wanted to know if it's 120Hz or 60Hz?

Does watching TV for long hours contribute to the short lifespan of the TV

Hi, I want to buy a new TV and I want to know if the difference between qled and neo qled is really big because I'm not going to buy the tv but my dad so I've searched and neo ofc was more expensive, but I want to say that I'm mostly use my tv for ps5, please, let me know what is better to buy.

If I could ask a opinion & for some help. I purchased a 65in Sony X90J & I'm thinking on swapping it for a 55in Samsung QN90A at the same price. I know the samsungs overall picture is better but my question is the picture good enough to make the swap & loose 10in in screen size. It's replacing a 40in Tv so even 55in is a big upgrade. I bought the Sony X95J & liked it so much I bought the X90J & it's for sure not on the same level & I'm curious if I would be happier with the QN90A at 55in. I only have until tomorrow for the return. Thank you

So I bought the Samsung Q950QE65 QLed 8K 2020 Compare to Neo QLed 8K 2021 and LG Oled 8K. Did I made a misstake??😥😳😱. Or will I see the differences🤔.
Greatful for an answer🙂

How difficult is it to do your own narrating for YouTube? Or pay someone a small fee to do it for you? This is so dang annoying!

[mmpiero]

I didn't understand the differences. Bad video.

[klakocer]

i still don't know what is difference.. too much el el elc leleleleledlcleclclecl

Que hermosa TV pero su precio es muy elevado es imposible poder comprar uno.
