LED vs QLED TV: which should you buy?

Quick answer: Choose QLED if the room is bright or you care about vivid colour: its quantum-dot layer gives more brightness and a wider colour range. Choose LED if price matters most or the TV is mainly for everyday viewing. Both use an LED backlight, so neither has OLED's perfect blacks. Today the middle price on Amazon.in is ₹33,990 for QLED TV and ₹15,999 for LED TV.
