In the ever-changing world of TV technology where consumers are faced with a vast array of different TV models to choose from, finding the right TV to suit your needs can be hard.
Two of the top contenders in the premium TV market are OLED and QNED. Having a well-rounded understanding of the key differences between these technologies can help you make an informed decision when finding the right TV for you.
In this article, we will cover:

A question often asked by consumers is, is QNED better than OLED? OLED provides the best experience in terms of picture quality, but there are also benefits for choosing QNED. Here are some of the key differences between QNED and OLED to help you decide which TV technology is right for you:
Brightness and Colour: OLEDs excel in contrast and black levels, while QNEDs offer superior brightness, OLEDs are getting brighter (see the G4 with Brightness Booster Max tech)
Size: For around the same price, you can choose between the superior picture quality of OLED, or a larger QNED.
Cost: OLEDs are generally more expensive due to their self-emissive technology, while QNEDs offer a cost-effective alternative with excellent performance.
LG OLED TV models represent some of the most premium offerings in the television market. Renowned for their commitment to innovative technology and sleek design, LG has crafted the OLED G Series and C Series to deliver exceptional picture quality and immersive viewing experiences.
