QD OLED vs OLED: What’s the difference?

When discussing different types of monitor panels, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of options. However, one of the latest panel technologies that is gaining a lot of notoriety is OLED panels. Whether it be OLED or QD OLED, these panels differentiate themselves by having no black light and an infinite contrast ratio, among many other distinguishing features. However, you might be wondering… what is the difference between OLED and QD OLED? And which one is better? We will explore exactly that in this article.

What is the difference between OLED and QD-OLED?

The main difference between OLED and QD OLED is that QD OLED uses quantum dot technology and therefore differs in pixel structure, which in turn creates even higher brightness and better HDR.

Although both technologies are state of the art, you can think of QD OLED as an enhancement of OLED. While OLED displays offer perfect blacks, infinite contrast ratios, and wide viewing angles, QD OLED offers enhanced color accuracy, better brightness, and better energy efficiency.

Is QD-OLED better than OLED?

Based on stating the differences between these two technologies above, it is safe say that QD OLED is indeed an enhancement of OLED technology. Therefore, it is safe to say that QD OLED has a bit of an advantage on OLED panels. However, with that being said, it does not mean that OLED is not a superior technology. It has been on the market longer than OLED and is well known for its perfect blacks and excellent picture quality.

What are the benefits of QD-OLED?

There are many benefits to QD OLED, however, what makes QD OLED shine is the picture quality that it produces. OD OLED panels are known for enhanced color accuracy, incredible peak brightness, better energy efficiency, improved viewing angles, perfect black and infinite contrast ratios. So, when you combine all these benefits into one panel, QD OLED produces a color-filled experience that is hard to compete with.

Is a QD-OLED monitor worth it?

If color vibrancy, high brightness, and deep contrast are your top criterion when looking for a monitor, then QD OLED is definitely worth it and should be your top choice for a monitor panel. When it is combined with other powerful features such as a high refresh rate and a high resolution, then it becomes a true asset to an incredible gaming experience.

An example of a monitor that combines multiple powerful specs in one is the Philips Evnia 32M2N8900. Its QD OLED panel, when combined with a 240Hz refresh rate and UHD 4K resolution, this monitor packs a powerful color punch that truly enhances your gaming experience.

Are more QD-OLED monitors coming?

As QD OLED continues to develop as a technology, it is a no brainer that more and more monitors will be equipped with this vibrant new panel. Stay tuned on our product pages for more and more exciting projects!
