QLED TVs are great for budget and mid-range shoppers, but it’s worth considering how long one will last before you shell out the money for it.
If you’re getting ready to purchase a new TV, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of choice you have at Best Buy, Walmart, and other retailers. LED, OLED, QLED — the acronyms fly fast and furious and often refer to the type of screen the TV has. QLED stands for quantum dot light-emitting diode. These types of TVs have a layer of quantum dots that make the screen brighter and the colors more vibrant and accurate. But what does that added tech mean for the lifespan of your TV?
Best Buy recommends QLED TVs for rooms that get a lot of light, such as your living room. These types of televisions are available in many brands, sizes, and price points, including budget brands like Hisense and higher-end brands such as Samsung and LG. Most brands offer a one-year warranty, but consumers obviously expect to get more years of life from their TV, even if they purchase a bargain brand.
