Neo QLED TV is a new TV series introduced by Samsung to the market since 2021 but became widely available from 2022. This is a completely new product line targeting the high-end TV segment.
So what exactly is Samsung Neo QLED TV? Why is the price of Neo QLED TV so high? Which one is better between Neo QLED and OLED TV? Let's explore this high-end TV series together and find the answer.
1. What is Neo QLED TV?
Neo QLED TV is an upgrade of the QLED TV that Samsung introduced since 2019. Neo QLED TV uses mini LED backlighting – with sizes only 1/40th of conventional LED bulbs used in traditional QLED TVs. You can see the image below for details:
Therefore, it can be said that Neo QLED TV is essentially still an LED TV (and also an LCD TV in a broader sense), as it still uses backlighting to illuminate pixels, thereby creating images on the final screen. And Neo QLED technology is also an exclusive technology (at least in terms of nomenclature) of the Samsung brand.
2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Samsung Neo QLED TV
In addition to the combination of Mini LED technology and Quantum Dot technology, Samsung also applies a series of modern enhancements to control and deliver the best image quality:
Firstly, the Quantum Matrix Pro technology ensures nearly absolute control and precision of the mini LED bulbs, displaying brighter whites and deeper blacks.
Furthermore, the Neo Quantum processor with 16 artificial neural networks helps to create and enhance images close to 4K and 8K standards. Instead of using only one artificial neural network to analyze image data, equipped with 16 neural nodes, each neuron handles the analysis and processing of different types of content, helping the TV process image quality faster and more accurately.
With the integrated enhancements, the Neo QLED TV series itself possesses its own set of advantages and disadvantages.
– Advantages
+ High color accuracy as each pixel is better controlled thanks to the mini LED bulbs.
+ Screen brightness can reach up to 2000 nits – an extremely impressive level for a TV.
+ Capable of achieving ultra-sharp 8K resolution.
+ Sleek and lightweight design, facilitating the application of advanced technologies on the TV.
– Disadvantages
+ Current pricing remains relatively high.
+ Screen response speed is already high but still limited.
3. Comparing Neo QLED and OLED TVs: Which is Better?
Fundamentally, QLED TVs still belong to a higher-end segment compared to Neo QLED TVs, as they use self-emissive organic light-emitting diodes. This panel type is completely different from TVs using backlighting (including LCD, LED, QLED, mini LED, or Neo QLED).
Therefore, compared to OLED TVs, Neo QLED TVs have their own advantages, but they also have many shortcomings. Let's first refer to the comparison table of Neo QLED and OLED TVs below.
| Thông số | Tivi Neo QLED | Tivi OLED |
| Nguyên lý | Sử dụng đèn nền Mini LED kết hợp với các chấm lượng tử Quantum Dot | Sử dụng các bóng Diode hữu cơ tự phát sáng |
| Độ sáng màn hình | 2000 nit | 700 nit |
| Độ chính xác màu | Rất tốt | Gần như tuyệt đối |
| Góc nhìn | Tốt | Rất tốt |
| Tốc độ phản hồi | Nhanh (8-10ms) | Cực nhanh (0,1ms) |
| Độ phân giải màn hình | Lên tới 8K | 4K |
| Giá bán | Từ 20 triệu đồng | Từ 40 triệu đồng |
In general, compared to OLED TVs, Neo QLED TVs have superior screen resolution and better screen brightness, while other specifications are nearly inferior, including power efficiency.
Despite the variety of other TV models on the market like Mini LED, LED, QLED, and LCD TVs, the quality of Samsung's Neo QLED TV remains superior.
Currently, Samsung has released two main lines of Neo QLED TVs, including:
- Samsung Neo QLED 8K TVs: such as Samsung QN700B, Samsung QN900B, QN800B...
- Samsung Neo QLED 4K TVs: such as Samsung QN90B, Samsung QN85B...
With a variety of screen sizes ranging from 55 inches to 98 inches, users will undoubtedly find a suitable choice among Samsung's premium Neo QLED TV lineup.
Through this article, it is hoped that you have gained insights into Samsung's Neo QLED TV and have a better understanding of this high-end TV lineup from Samsung.
