Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video so last week i showed
you this new mini-LED tv and a few of you asked what the difference was between this tv
and other tvs available so today i'll do a quick overview of what a mini led tv does differently
to normal led backlit tvs and why it's evolved into being the best lcd tv available right now
i've linked to the qned99 in the description which is the tv we're looking at today so if
you want to check that out you can do so but let's jump straight in so obviously tvs have
been around for quite some time and over the last 50 years we have seen different variations
including crt plasma projectors lcd tvs then more recently selfless oleds now we know that oleds
generally speaking are classed as the premium tv due to their self light in pixels but they aren't
perfect they aren't as bright as an lcd plus you could say they've almost hit a ceiling in terms
of improving on themselves whereas lcd is still evolving it's still getting better we've had ccfl
edgelit and backlit tvs then recently we've seen many led tvs which is what we're showing today
now this is still an lcd tv but it's better at improving the contrast and color reproduction
with its full array local dimming so this brings us to the tv that i'm showing you today this is
the 75 inch qned 99 and that features the new mini led technology now qned isn't new it's not a new
technology like we've seen with oled but it is a step up from lcd and you could argue the ultimate
iteration that we've seen so far it's an lcd tv with a mini led backlight so that means it's
capable of controlling far more errors or zones of the tv in fact there are thousands of mini leds
this means if you've got an image on screen that's showing both a dark and a light area the mini leds
will have more control turning those leds off in the dark areas and that will result in deeper
blacks this will make a huge difference to the overall look of the picture and the contrast too
compare that to previous or other lcd tvs are available on the market they just don't have the
number of zones these mini led tvs have you're going to see a halo or even light bleed around
those dark areas now i actually remember years ago having an lcd tv that was edgelit
now if you've ever had an edgelit tv you'll know just how bad those dark scenes would look
you would literally have a light bleed or a halo around the edge of the screen and the entire image
where it was dark would still be light it'd be like a very light grey black areas were never
really black as there are even more leds now to control those zones it also means it increases
the brightness of the screen at least compared to regular lcd tvs also with this tv lg have
actually taken two technologies the quantum dot and the nano cell to create an impressive color
reproduction now that along with the brightness really makes the color pop and gives a far nicer
viewing experience so if you've seen any of the nano cell tvs i would comfortably say that this
qned is definitely a step up in terms of the picture quality the contrast and the brightness
now one of the questions i actually received on the previous video that i did were were there
any cons or drawbacks of a mini led tv well other than the slightly increased price of a qned over
say a nano cell or an led tv well q leds actually share pretty much the same features as other lcds
so the short answer is no mini led tvs don't have any cons over other lcd tvs they share the same
characteristics however comparing it to an oled is a totally different question so considering qned
is slightly more expensive than the traditional lcd led tv you might wonder how this q d compares
to oled well the biggest difference is an oled doesn't just have a few thousand mini leds it has
millions of self-lit pixels so every pixel on the screen can turn on and off when required this in
itself means an ole can produce perfect black's infinite contrast and incredible viewing angles
but i think a side-by-side comparison between a q ned and an oled will best be saved for a
separate video something where i can actually show different viewing experiences different games and
maybe even different movies now as mentioned this is the qned99 so this is the 8k screen and it can
upscale content using the a9 gen 4 processor although it's still capable of 4k 120 hertz as
it comes with hdmi 2.1 support on all four ports this means it's ready for the playstation 5 and
the xbox series x it has loads of other features like the game optimizer mode airplay hdr10
in fact i did a full unboxing and review of this tv last week if you want to go and check that out
now during that unboxing video a couple of you actually mentioned that you were holding off
buying a mini led and even an oled as you were hoping to see micro led tv soon so i actually
went away and did a little bit of reading on what a micro led tv would offer compared to the others
so micro led tvs are very similar to oled in the fact that they are self lit they actually use
three leds per pixel this means that every pixel can be turned on and off given near perfect blacks
just like an oled and due to the fact that the tv will be using so many micro leds the tv will be
brighter than an oled maybe when we start to see micro led tvs later on maybe in the next couple
of years or so i could pick one up for review but at the moment they sound very very promising
and they could be the ultimate tv of the future combining the best bits from an led tv and an oled
but over the years seen the differences between different lcd tvs that have been released
it's great to see that we've seen this massive progression in terms of the led technology
i think qned mini led tvs really are one of the best backlit tvs i've ever seen and it's
awesome to have been using over the last couple of weeks i'll only have this tv for another week
or so and i wanted to do a full side-by-side comparison with this qnad against my c1 oled
let me know what you'd like to see in that video and i'll try and get those compared over the next
week or two i know they have totally different technologies but it might be interesting to see
how close a qned is to an oled and what the pros and the cons are so please drop any suggestions
below types of content scenes gaming brightness anything you'd like to see and we'll try to get
that content created i'm also considering doing a full dedicated video on the qned9 just for gaming
so again any suggestions for games that you'd like to see please drop those in the comments too
well you've made it to the end of this video so thank you for watching let me know what type
of tv that you are currently using and i will give you a thumbs up for staying until the end
