Now a days people are getting confuse to hear the new terminology when they are looking for Samsung TVs. Samsung has introduced their new 2021-year TV models by terming Neo QLED TVs. However, that is different from the tech they have produced TVs in earlier years refer just QLED. So, the technology growing day by day rapidly as an effect we are getting the improved version of electronic products year after year. Who knows when this will be going to end? But as an end-user switching to the latest tech will always be a wise decision. In this article, I will explain what is Neo QLED TV and how it is different from QLED TV, the main difference between Neo QLED vs QLED and Neo QLED is better than OLED. As we already knew, there are multiple TV technologies available in today’s market like LED, QLED, OLED, NanoCell TV, Crystal TV and so many. Moreover, now Neo QLED. Moreover, the common thing between Neo QLED and QLED Tech is both using LED backlighting to emit the lights to produce the picture. So, the tech used in Neo QLED and QLED is the same LED backlighting. However few difference between Neo QLED and QLED exists. Why does Samsung use this terminology for their latest 2021-year TV models? Here is my answer. What is Neo QLED TV? As the name refers, Neo QLED TVs are the next version of QLED TVs with some enhancement. So, what could that be? Neo QLED uses mini-LEDs for backlighting that placed directly behind the panel. These mini-LEDs are smaller than traditional LEDs that used in QLED TVs, so we can fit more LEDs and make smaller groups of dimming zones give better light control and contrast ratio. Neo QLED TV What is QLED TV? QLED is an abbreviation of Quantum Dots LED TV. QLED uses quantum dots nanocrystals to illuminate the colors like red, blue, and green. These nanocrystals have placed as a layer directly behind/edge of the LCD panel. In contrast to Neo QLED, it used traditional LEDs for backlighting, so it is bigger in size.

This produces the best contrast and darkest blacks. QLED lower-end models are edge backlighting, so lights are coming from the edges.Supported FeaturesNo DifferenceNo DifferenceModel Number ReferenceNeo QLED TVs ranges refer to using “QN” in model number rather than “Q”.Usually, Samsung QLED TVs ranges are referring to using “Q” in the model number.This might vary from different brands.Other ManufacturesFew other brands also are making Neo QLED TVs.

Traditional QLED TV models are widely available in the market, however, you couldn't find many Neo QLED. QN90A and QN85A are the two Samsung Neo QLED Models currently available in the market. QN90A comes in 50-, 55-, 65- and 85-inch sizes. QN85A comes in 55, 65, and 85 inches. 50-inch QN90A price starts from INR 99990, and 55-inch QN85A price starts from INR 160990.
