Technology Editor LCD, LED, Plasma, OLED! There are so many TV types, and remembering them can be confusing. Ian Campbell agrees, asking ”Why do we need so many TVs?” But there’s a new kid on the block: Quantum-Dot TVs. These new TVs were unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2015. They seem cool enough, but what are they, how do they work, and most importantly, how good are they compared to all of the other kinds of TVs? So, a Quantum-Dot (QD) TV is basically an LCD television with better colors. It works by the backlight being blue instead of yellow. This blue light then goes through the Quantum Dots to create vivid colors. Evan Melendez demands high quality pictures, explaining, ”I like TVs with good colors.” Because of this advanced technology, the TVs will be expensive, especially because they will most likely all be 4K TVs, offering super high resolution. The biggest competitors to QD televisions are OLEDs, TVs with organic compounds in their LEDs which make them bright and beautiful. Both OLEDs and QD TVs will be expensive but OLEDs are definitely more. Which one is better? They both have their pros and cons, and which one you should get depends on what you want in a TV. They both have amazing 4K displays, and everybody loves that.”I like high quality screens, because it really feels like you are in the movie!” said Elizabeth Meckert. Either way, you will definitely have a great TV and experience high definition like consumers have never seen before. Comments are closed.
