Samsung TV Display Panels

Finding a Fitting TV display panel

Sorting between the baffling array of acronyms and names typical of modern televisions can be confusing. While you may have heard different tech jargon going around, there are only a handful of screen technologies available. Most modern TVs available feature standard LED screens or OLED and QLED displays.

What is the Difference between LED, OLED, and QLED?

They may sound similar, but the differences between the three are quite stark.

• LED panels:LEDs are sore similar to LCD screens. However, instead of using fluorescent tubes as is the case with LCD TVs, the displays use "light emitting diodes." This makes LED TVs thinner and lighter than LCD TVs and with a much brighter energy-efficient screen.
• OLED panels:OLED stands for "organic light-emitting diodes." These displays use organic materials that emit light when powered. The organic diodes allow the screens to have sharp colors and deep contrasts with very bright whites and dark blacks. Since the materials function as their own light source, backlighting isn't necessary. This allows OLED TVs to be ultra-thin.
• QLED panels:QLED screens utilize "quantum dots" for exceptional color. The technology features very tiny microscopic crystals resulting in high contrast ratios.

What Should I Consider When Making My Final Decision?

Samsung TVs feature LED, OLED and QLED displays as well as Plasma and LCD displays in much older sets. Before making a choice, there are a number of considerations you should make.

• Size:Your display panel choice is likely to be guided by the TV size you are looking for. While QLED and OLED displays are popular, they are only available in larger sizes. LED displays, on the other hand, offer a wide selection and are available for multiple size options.
• Resolution:Screen resolution refers to the number of pixels or dots that make up the display. The more the pixels, the sharper the display. However, you should note that with the same number of pixels, a smaller screen will be sharper and clearer.
• Display type:The display type determines the contrast ratio. Both OLED and QLED have high contrast ratios with bright whites and dark blacks. If you are looking for displays with rich colors, then these are the displays to opt for.
• Power consumption:The newer generation display panels come with energy efficiency in mind. LCDs are more energy consuming than LED with OLED and QLED panels using the least power.

Look for selections of parts and even second hand Samsung TVs to find replacement panels for broken or malfunctioning television screens.
