The television industry has developed over many years, and television panel and display technologies have also made significant progress, including LCD, OLED, Mini LED, etc. This has led to the emergence of LCD, OLED, and Mini LED TVs. So what are the differences between these three types of TVs? Which one is better? It is recommended to bookmark this before buying!

LCD TV

LCD TV, also known as liquid crystal TV, uses a layer of liquid crystal as the display layer. By adjusting the arrangement of liquid crystal molecules, it controls the light transmission to achieve image display. Since the liquid crystal layer requires a backlight, LCD TVs are usually thicker.

As a more traditional TV, LCD TVs cannot achieve self-luminescence and therefore require additional backlighting, making them thicker; at the same time, the color performance of LCD TVs is relatively weak, with lower color reproduction and saturation. Since the LCD industry chain is very mature, the prices of LCD TVs are relatively low, making them suitable for the general consumer.

OLED TV

OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) TV refers to TVs that use self-luminous organic materials as the display layer, where each pixel can emit light independently. Therefore, OLED TVs have outstanding color performance, with vibrant colors, high contrast, and pure black representation. Due to the self-luminescent pixels, they do not require a backlight, allowing for thinner designs and better aesthetics.

However, due to advanced display technology and high production costs, OLED TVs are generally more expensive and are more suitable for those with a sufficient budget.

Mini LED TV

Essentially, it is still an LCD TV, but it uses smaller backlight lamps, allowing for a denser arrangement of backlights, resulting in higher brightness and finer local dimming.

Compared to traditional LCD TVs, Mini LED TVs have improved picture quality and thickness. Early Mini LED TVs had some differences in picture quality and thickness compared to top OLED TVs, but with the maturation of technology, they can now compete with similar products. In terms of price, Mini LED TVs are usually priced between LCD and OLED TVs, offering high cost-performance.

In summary, the three TV technologies—LCD, OLED, and Mini LED—each have their advantages and disadvantages. LCD TVs are suitable for consumers with a limited budget or lower picture quality requirements; OLED TVs are designed for those pursuing ultimate picture quality and aesthetics;while Mini LED TVs provide a balanced choice between picture quality and price.

Here, we recommend considering Mini LED TVs. Taking into account brand influence, product sales, and cost-performance factors, we have selected one model each from 65-inch, 75-inch, and 85-inch Mini LED TVs for your reference.
