KEY TO YOUR HOME 2020

54 / KEY TOYOUR HOME living Backlit by an array of LEDs (light-emitting diodes), LED TVs are capable of a wider colour range and better contrast. Translated to Quantum dot LED screen, QLED technology works by placing a layer or film on quantum dots in front of a regular LED backlight panel. This allows the brightest possible display and most accurate coloured imagery for your TV. Translated to Organic Light-Emitting Diode, OLED TVs uses individual LED to produce both the backlighting and colour for every pixel, giving the colour and contrast the ability to retain their intensity when viewed from an angle as far as 90 degrees off-centre. 4K resolution – which is around 4,000 pixels – is one of the most common resolutions in digital television and cinematography. Clearer picture made up of more pixels create images that are crisper and capable of showing more details. 8K resolution – which is around 8,000 pixels – is currently the highest definition in digital television and cinematography.
