What's Samsung Neo QLED and what can you use it for?

In 2021, Samsung introduces their first Neo QLED televisions. Neo QLED is Samsung's own version of the Mini-LED display technology from 2018, which focuses on the backlight of the TV. This way, Neo QLED provides a higher contrast and higher brightness, just like Mini-LED. In this article, you can read how Neo QLED works exactly and how this changes the way you watch TV.

How Neo QLED works

Neo QLED

According to Samsung, the secret of the Neo QLED is the 'Quantum Matrix technology'. Thousands of small LED lights that are 40 times smaller than the lights of other LED TVs, are placed behind the panel. These lights make up dimming zones, which light up and dim when the screen has to be light or dark. Neo QLED TVs have more zones than a normal LED TV. The mini-LEDs also have a very thin micro layer instead of a lens. This sends out the light in a very controlled way, so it doesn't 'leak' on the sides.

More contrast and less blooming

Contrast Neo QLED

The screen can represent light and dark more accurately if the dimming zones have smaller lights and a higher number of them. If you're watching TV, you'll see deeper black tones in the dark parts of the screen while the light parts are more clear. It also reduces 'blooming', subtle hazes around light objects on the screen. This is because of the mini-LEDs, which guide the light precisely without 'leaking' to the sides. That's good news, because blooming is a recurring issue with LED TV's.

Improved color representation

Thanks to the improved representation of light and dark areas, you'll also notice a difference in color representation as viewer. Because the mini-LEDs provide a wide range of brightness levels, there are more differences in color tones. For example, you can see that the sky isn't just one blue tone but a combination of various brighter and darker blue tones. This makes the images on the TV more detailed and realistic. The Neo QLED TVs also use quantum dots, which filters the light to display the right colors very accurately.

Neo QLED in practice

At this point, you may wonder if Neo QLED is a good fit for you. A television with Neo QLED is suitable for the fanatical movie or TV watcher who wants to enjoy colorful images. For example, HDR images look very good thanks to the high contrast ratio. A Neo QLED TV is also useful if you want to watch TV during the day or in the evening with the lights on, because of the high brightness. Bright images reduce the reflection on the screen. The panel is also very thin, which gives it a luxurious look. Visit one of our stores to experience it yourself.
