OLED and QLED TV technology are at the forefront of innovation when it comes to home-viewing picture quality. While OLED TV diodes are each individually lit, QLED technology uses a backlight that projects onto a film layer of quantum dot lights to provide a rich display that lasts.
Both displays capable of producing much deeper blacks and crisp visuals as a result, while still providing a higher picture quality than older LED displays.
Whether you are watching live sports coverage or blockbuster films from the comfort of your own home, a 4K resolution combined with high dynamic range (HDR) can offer some of the best viewing experiences.
They also offer higher processing speeds which can handle higher frame rates than standard television shows are capable of, which will be immediately apparent if you’re watching nature documentaries shot at a high frame rate or playing the latest games at 120fps.
But better technology also comes at a higher cost which is why Currys is currently offering 10 per cent off its range of TV sets priced £400 and above with code TV10, which can provide a significant discount on OLED and QLED offerings from LG, Sony, Samsung and more.
