The best Qled TV from Samsung, TCL and Hisense in 2021: our comparison

Currently there are two main categories in TV display technologies: OLED and LCD.The main difference lies in the fact that the LCD requires that the LEDs be backlit while in the case of the OLED, it is the diodes themselves that light up.

But within the LCD TV category, there are several subcategories including QLED.A technology developed by Samsung to compete with OLED TV.Today, we find QLED on all high -end models - of course - but also on mid -range televisions of the manufacturer.And if it was originally exclusive to Samsung, Qled technology is now also present on certain TCL and Hisense televisions.

Two reimbursement offers on QLED TV

Thanks to the reimbursement offers currently offered at Samsung and TCL, this is the right time to equip yourself at lower cost with a recent QLED TV.Recall that through these offers, the manufacturer undertakes to reimburse you, in the weeks following your purchase, a fixed sum or a percentage of the price of the television.The latter must have been purchased from a dealer like Darty, Fnac, Boulanger or rue du Commerce (not on a marketplace)))).

The prices we have indicated below do not take into account deferred reimbursements.

TCL: up to € 150 refunded on QLED TV

Samsung: 15 % refunded on QLED Mini LED TV

Unlike TCL, Samsung does not reimburse a fixed sum, but a percentage (15 %)))) of the purchase price.The offer is valid until November 15, and only for the models of the NEO QLED (QNA)))), The Frame (LS03A)))) and The Serif.

Our QLED TV selection

Samsung qe43q60a

For those who don't want to go ruin

Very fine and compatible with HDR 10+ technology, the QE43Q60A of Samsung uses a flask which has the advantage of delivering bright colors and deep blacks.In addition, it integrates the Tyzen multimedia system, as well as the smart assistants of Google and Amazon (Alexa)))).These money can be controlled via the microphone placed on the remote control.And even if this model is limited to a frequency of 60 Hz, the weak Input Lag gives it a certain advantage when it comes to playing!Finally, it is possible to record TV programs on a USB support (with Timeshift function, or breakdown of the direct)))).

HISENSE 55U8QF

A very nice image at a low price

HISENSE 55U8QF TV equipment and performance allows you to benefit from superb quality of display when it comes to playing or watching films.Its only limitation comes from the fact that its HDMI connectors are not compatible with Standard 2.1.The display cannot therefore be done in 4K 100 Hz.Likewise, television therefore does not offer the VRR (variable refresh rate)))) or allm (auto low latency mode)))) functions, which would make the most of the latest generation game consoles.The connected portal, vidaa, gives access to the Amazon assistant (Alexa)))) and the best known applications (YouTube, Netflix, etc..)))).

TCL 55C729

For those who want to play on their TV

Comme son nom l’indique, la gamme C72+ de TCL (C727, C728, C729)))) est une version améliorée de la gamme C72 (C721, C722, C725)))), qui intègre une dalle QLED à rétro éclairage LED ayant l’avantage de supporter une fréquence de rafraichissement de 100 Hz, ce qui en fait le parfait complément à une console de jeu ou un ordinateur.Especially since two of its four HDMI ports support VRR, Freesync and Allm technologies (HDMI 2.1)))).The whole is supplemented by the rich multimedia features offered by Android TV.Finally, the 55C729 has the advantage of being compatible with all the latest HDR standards.

Samsung qe55q80a

Samsung's most perfected LED TV

This QLED TV is the most advanced in the manufacturer's 2021 range which calls for a LED lighting.It incorporates all the technologies that allow you to play in the best possible conditions with a latest generation console or a computer: HDMI 2.1, 100 Hz refresh frequency, VRR, low input lag and allm.To spoil nothing, the sound is returned through six speakers.The icing on the cake, the IPS panel provides enlarged vision angles compared to the va slabs, which allows several people to play or watch TV and benefit from the same image quality.

TCL 65C825

For cinema and game enthusiasts

Thanks to QLED technology, the TCL 65C825 provides excellent display quality, especially in broad daylight thanks to high light.Its mini LED retro lighting allows you to obtain improved contrasts compared to a LED slab.Practical, TCL provides a webcam, which attaches to the top of magnetization television.Finally, in addition to Android TV, the 65C825 incorporates everything you need to play in excellent conditions.Finally, it is delivered with 2 remote controls, including a microphone, always practical when it comes to asking questions to the assistant of Google or that of Amazon.

Samsung Neo Qled 65qn97a

For optimal image quality

The mini LED technology on board high -end Samsung 65qn97a TV allows you to make a real leap forward in terms of display quality compared to models with "traditional" LED lighting. Les contrastes sont boostés, tout comme la luminosité, alors que les effets de blooming (fuites de lumière)))) sont quasiment absents.This model is also distinguished by its powerful audio system, the Tizen multimedia interface and its external case which brings together all the connectors.Finally, the anti reflection filter is particularly effective.

What is QLED technology?

Pour simplifier, la technologie QLED place une couche de Quantum Dots (ou points quantiques)))) entre les LEDs du rétro éclairage et les cristaux liquides afin d’améliorer la restitution des couleurs.And the benefits are multiple: better color fidelity, greater displayable color of colors, best contrast rates, increased brightness and widen vision angles.

Signalons que les téléviseurs d’entrée de gamme 2021 de Samsung (gammes AU7105, AU8005 et AU9005)))) ne bénéficient pas encore de la technologie QLED.

Understand the QLED TV ranges at TCL

The first two figures of the reference correspond to the size of the slab. Le reste varie en fonction de la gamme (niveau de sophistication)))) :

We note that several references exist for a single TV.The only difference lies in the store that sells it (baker, fnac, darty, etc..)))).The last figure therefore has little importance!

Understand the QLED TV ranges at Samsung

Comme pour TCL, certaines références – quoi que différentes – identifient la même TV, en fonction du distributeur ou du coloris de la TV ! Exemples : QExxQ65A, QExxQ67A, QExxQ68A (distributeurs différents)))) ou QE65QN95A (argenté)))) / QE65QN97A (noir)))).

QLED or OLED?What is the best technology?

Avec le QLED, on reste sur un écran doté d’un rétro éclairage LED et de cristaux liquides (LCD)))), avec ses avantages et ses inconvénients par rapport à la technologie OLED mise au point par LG :

In the end, OLED technology retains an advantage when it comes to watching movies in the evening, since its almost infinite contrast rate highlights colors while offering blacks of an unequaled depth. Toutefois, pour regarder la TV ou jouer dans une pièce éclairée, ou en journée, les télévisions LCD QLED offrent une image plus lumineuse, avec un retard d’affichage (Input lag)))) négligeable.

LED, mini LED, micro LED ... Understand the differences

For a long time, LCD televisions have been equipped with a retro lighting device that uses electro luminescent or LED diodes. Celles-ci sont placées sur les bords de l’écran (Edge Led)))) ou sont réparties sur toute la surface (Direct LED ou Full LED)))).

But these LEDs evolve over time to obtain an ever more convincing display quality.Thus, Mini LED technology has landed in recent months and is starting to replace the good old LED lighting in high -end televisions (first)))).

LCD LED, a well -established technology

A la différence des TV OLED, les TV LCD doivent intégrer des LED, dont la lumière passe ensuite dans les cristaux liquides, avec une intensité plus ou moins grande (grâce à une couche de transistors)))), puis à travers des filtres rouge, vert et bleu afin de former des pixels de couleurs primaires.The latter being very close together, our eye combines them to form a single colorful point.

Ces diodes peuvent être allumées ou éteintes sur des zones plus ou moins grandes (Local Dimming, aussi connu sous l’appellation Micro Dimming selon les constructeurs)))) afin d’améliorer le contraste des images.Because the main drawback of liquid crystals lies in the fact that they can let a little light pass even if they are supposed to block it entirely to produce the black color.We are talking about light leaks or blooming effect.This explains why LCD TVs cannot produce blacks as intense as OLED models (without retro lighting because pixels emit their own light, only when they are traversed by electric current)))).

Mini LED: the gap with the OLED is reduced

To fight against these light leaks, televisions are starting to integrate a mini LED type retro.The overall operating principle does not change, but LEDs are miniaturized in order to finely control the retro zones lit or not.Result, we obtain better contrasts and higher maximum brightness (which particularly benefits HDR content)))).The goal being of course to get closer to OLED technology in terms of displayed black depth, but always with superior brightness.

Micro LED, or the disappearance of liquid crystals

Like other manufacturers, Samsung is already working on the next technology, called micro LED.This no longer uses a LED back lighting and liquid crystals, but materials that emit their own light, more or less depending on the intensity of the current that crosses them. Le principe de fonctionnement est donc très proche de l’OLED, à ceci près que les matériaux utilisés ne sont plus organiques (rappelons que le O de OLED signifie Organic)))) et ne peuvent donc pas se dégrader au fil du temps et provoquer un effet de marquage (ce qui est le principal point faible de la technologie OLED)))). La technologie Micro LED est donc censée offrir les avantages du LCD (très haute luminosité, pas de marquage)))) et ceux de l’OLED (noirs parfaits et donc taux de contraste quasi infini)))).But you will have to be patient, because the micro LED TV may take some time before landing in our salons ...
