Our recommendations when choosing between QLED and OLED TVs QLED and OLED are two different types of display technologies used in televisions and other devices. QLED stands for "quantum dot LED," and it is a type of LCD (liquid crystal display) technology that uses tiny semiconductor particles called quantum dots to produce more accurate and vibrant colors. QLED TVs also use a backlight to illuminate the display, which can improve visibility in bright rooms. OLED stands for "organic light-emitting diode," and it is a display technology that uses organic compounds that emit light when an electric current is applied. OLED displays do not require a backlight, which allows for deeper blacks and a wider color range. They also have faster refresh rates and wider viewing angles compared to LCDs. Pros and cons of QLED and OLED technologies
