WHAT IS QLED TECHNOLOGY?

QLED, or quantum dot display, is a new type of technology used in screens.

Also, because they five off color, there's no more need for filters - at least that's the promise. 

Today's quantum dot sets still do use filters, though because of fine-tuning, they represent reds and greens better than other sets and reduce the amount of power wasted when light gets filtered out. 

The technology differs from other screen technologies, such as OLED, HDR10+, HDR, LCD, MicroLED, HD, 4K or 8K.
