Despite their general affordability across the board, one LED TV can beat another out by incorporating full-array local dimming: a collection of lighting zones that adjust independently across the entire screen. Still iffy about -LED terminology? Let's break it down. The best PlayStation 5 controllers to pair with your new-gen console While any rendition of -LED refers to the light source behind the TV, 4K refers to the screen's resolution, or how many pixels are squeezed across the screen horizontally (4,000-ish). The two aren't mutually exclusive - in fact, nearly every QLED TV is 4K (with some 8K options sprinkled in, but that's beside the point). The tech you'll like the best depends on the type of content and lighting of the room in which you'll be using the TV the most.Īnother frequently-asked question, whether 4K or QLED is better, isn't a question at all. QLED can be thought of as an LED glow up while OLED is a completely separate method of lighting. Before we get into what makes them a bang for your buck, it's kind of helpful to understand QLED actually even means in the first place. You have several options in several sizes ranging from $500 to $1,000. Their skyrocketing prevalence in the TV market has brought the cost of the technology down significantly, making a QLED TV an actually-affordable purchase if you want to cushion your streaming service spending. QLED TVs offer an improvement in the brightness and color department that you'll quickly notice the first time you re-watch Encanto or The Grand Budapest Hotel.

But if you haven't bought a new TV in a while, your screen probably isn't doing that precious content justice.

Streaming services have become a strong enough cultural staple that we've built the monthly fees into our bills alongside rent and electricity.
