The best QLED TVs on the market: which ones are available and at what prices

We have already reached the number. In Argentina, to buy a very high quality televisionyou have to spend about a million pesos. For this amount you can bring a Smart 4K with a few extras that add quality to the screen: in this report we focus on those equipped with technology QLED. The latest to come out in Argentina is the 55-inch Motorola QLED. With it, the brand debuts with this technology.

Of course, if the screen size exceeds 55 inches, regardless of the brand, the cost will easily exceed a million pesos.

That’s why we focus on panels 55 inches or lesswhich are good enough to bring images into a living room of up to 5 x 5 square meters and do not look out of place in smaller rooms, such as a bedroom.

THE QLED panels are an evolution compared to LEDssince pixels can be activated individually allowing for greater contrast and achieving the purest blacks.

But QLED isn’t the only superior option. There are also OLEDs, which produce their own light to be able to control individual brightness, save layers and obtain screens with minimal thickness.

Within the first group are Samsung, TCL, Noblex and Motorola devices. And among OLEDs there are, among others, LG, Philips, Sony and even Samsung.

Meanwhile, Hisense works with its own technology called ULED, which is a high-resolution backlight that uses a high-performance image processing chip. As if that wasn’t enough, many brands already offer Neo QLED.

Are any of these technologies better than the others? As you might expect, every manufacturer claims that what they sell is the best. And even if they follow different paths, the concrete thing is that they all surpass LCD, achieving results sharper and purer colors.

For the most demanding palates it is always advisable to go to a place where they offer all the variations and opt for the one that best suits the consumer’s eyes.

TV: the ideal size

Continuing with the number of inches, hanging a 55-inch panel on a bedroom wall seems excessive. And it can be assumed that, due to their large size, the images will appear less sharp. But you have to know The higher quality the images, the better they can be seen up close. Specifically, a 55-inch QLED can work very well in a 3 x 3 room. But the same definitely won’t happen with an LCD of that size.

As with computers or mobile phones, interaction with the SmartTV takes place via an operating system that takes care of organizing the applications in the main menu, synchronizing with other devices and ensuring that everything flows naturally.

In order of popularity, it seems Google TV, which under the umbrella of Android is mounted on tablets, watches and, of course, most mobile phones. It stands out for its large catalog of applications and its simplicity. Meanwhile, Samsung usually runs Tizen and LG runs WebOS.

If the idea is to connect a console to your TV, you will have to take into account motion management, the HDMI 2.1 interface (reaches 48 Gbps), game mode or the implementation of technologies such as NVIDIA Sync or AMD FreeSync.

And if we were to add two more characteristics that gaming TVs must address seamlessly to achieve an optimal experience, these would be input latency and response time.

Input latency is the time between when you perform an action on your controller, when your PC or console processes it, and when it appears on your TV. The lower this value, the better.

In turn, response time calculates how long it takes for a pixel to change color.

For his part, the processor is a mechanism is fundamental when choosing a television, since factors such as resolution, HDR content management, color accuracy, movements in scenes depend on it, among other details that end up defining the content viewing routine.

The chip’s function is to adjust the tonal curve based on environmental conditions to offer optimized screen brightness, taking advantage of its ability to understand how the human eye perceives images in different lighting situations.

In acoustic terms, one of the most important innovations in current televisions is the introduction of spatial sounda technology that allows you to hear individual noises depending on your position in front of the screen.

Many high-end equipment incorporates real-time equalization systems. The intention is to adapt the sound of the internal speakers to the characteristics of the room to achieve cinematic effects.

Unlike stereo sound, where the audio comes from two channels (left-right), spatial sound incorporates an additional dimension by adding height.
