Color volume
LED: smaller color gamut
The colors on the screen of a LED television are produced by LED lights behind the screen or in the edge of the screen. A LED television with a 10-bit panel can display over o1 billion colors. And a QLED TV with a 10-bit panel can display even more colors than a LED television.
QLED: wider color gamut
The screen of a QLED television has a layer of nanocrystals. These crystals light up when the thousands of LED lights behind the screen shine on them, which results in a wider color gamut. This allows you to enjoy colorful images that pop on the screen. And you can distinguish the most subtle color nuances in a field of flowers, for example.
Brightness
LED: lower brightness
LED televisions have a standard image panel. Colors or black levels are created with rows or white LED lights behind the screen. QLED televisions have image technologies that allow you to enjoy a higher brightness. LED televisions don't have this, so LED television display a lower brightness.
QLED: high brightness
Thanks to the Quantum Dot image technology, QLED televisions have a high brightness. As a result, bright images are also clearly visible in a bright room. The high brightness of QLED televisions ensures that rich colors pop on the screen more than they do on LED televisions.
Design
LED: less luxuriou
In most cases, LED televisions don't have as many properties as QLED televisions do. Aside from the smart menu, LED televisions often don't have any unique extra properties like an anti-glare layer.
QLED: more luxurious
QLED televisions generally have more extensive options than LED televisions. LED televisions are usually more basic. A QLED television has a wider viewing angle or an advanced version of Object Tracking Sound, for example. This is a sound technology that ensures that sound follows the movements on the screen.
