In the world of television technology, QD-Mini LED is emerging as a strong contender against OLED, particularly for large-screen TVs. While OLED is known for its perfect blacks and excellent contrast, it has limitations, including lower peak brightness, the risk of burn-in, and high costs for bigger screens. QD-Mini LED, however, combines the vibrant colors of quantum dots with a dense matrix of tiny LEDs to offer a superior viewing experience. According to Sunny Yang, general manager of TCL Middle East and Africa, this technology offers the benefits of both OLED and QLED in one package.
Why QD-Mini LED is a Better Choice for Large Formats
One of the biggest advantages of QD-Mini LED is its scalability. As screens grow beyond 75 inches, OLED panels become prohibitively expensive, but QD-Mini LED maintains performance while being more affordable. This technology also offers higher peak brightness than OLED, making it a great choice for well-lit rooms. The article highlights two models from TCL’s 2025 lineup: the TCL C6K and the C7K. The C6K offers up to 512 local dimming zones and a 144Hz refresh rate, while the premium C7K features up to 2048 local dimming zones, HDR 3000 nits peak brightness, and a sound system from Bang & Olufsen.
Designed for the Modern Viewer
QD-Mini LED is uniquely suited for today’s multi-purpose viewing habits, which include gaming, streaming, and watching in different light conditions. The technology’s high brightness, fast response time, and resistance to burn-in make it a versatile choice that adapts to how people actually use their TVs.
