- Overblown quantum dot conspiracy theories make important points about QLED TVs - Ars Technica
- QLED = a “type of LED/LCD that uses quantum dots to create its display.”
- QD, QNED (quantum nano-emitting diode), QLEDm, QDEL (quantum dot electroluminescent) displays

- TVs | Tom's Guide
- LCD = liquid crystal diode
- QLED = quantum dot light emitting diode
- QLED TVs place a quantum dot layer over traditional liquid crystal display (LCD) panels.
- Better suited to well-lit environments. QLED TVs typically offer higher peak brightness levels than OLED TVs, making them more ideal for bright rooms or spaces with lots of natural light.
- Unlike with OLED TVs, the picture quality of QLED TVs doesn't suffer from burn-in issues, making them better for prolonged usage, such as long gaming sessions or displays of static content like news tickers.
- OLED = organic light emitting diode
- OLED TVs are unparalleled in their ability to produce deep blacks and infinite contrast ratios, making them especially effective in dark room settings.
- OLED panels are susceptible to image retention and burn-in — especially when you're viewing static content.
- OLED TVs tend to be more expensive than QLEDs.

- Simple Fixes to Make Dialogue More Audible on Your TV - CNET
- The TV's settings
