Samsung QLED TV Reveals Technology That Proves the ‘Real’ Value

Samsung Electronics continues to set the benchmark in display innovation with its latest QLED TVs, demonstrating how cutting-edge technology translates into real-world value for consumers. A thorough evaluation of a Samsung QLED TV revealed the intricate engineering behind its exceptional picture quality, immersive audio, and advanced AI features, confirming why Samsung remains a leader in the global television market.

For years, Samsung has pioneered the use of cadmium-free quantum dot materials, a breakthrough technology that enables precise color reproduction and superior brightness. Initially recognized for its potential in medical devices and solar cells, quantum dot technology has become the cornerstone of Samsung QLED TVs, allowing the company to redefine the television viewing experience.

By leveraging ultra-fine quantum dots, Samsung QLED TVs achieve a broader color gamut and higher luminance than conventional LED TVs. This results in visuals that are more vibrant, lifelike, and immersive. During an exclusive session, Samsung’s researchers Kevin Cha and Jang Nae-won dismantled a QLED TV to reveal the sophisticated components that power its superior performance.

The rear cover of a QLED TV not only protects the internal modules but also supports audio performance and connectivity. The main printed circuit board (PCB) functions as the TV’s brain, managing power supply, remote control reception, and SmartThings connectivity, while the TV tuner ensures broadcast signal reception for traditional viewing.

At the heart of the system lies the Q4 AI Processor, which optimizes picture and sound in real time based on the environment. Advanced speakers complement the display by delivering room-filling, high-resolution audio that enhances the overall viewing experience.

The display panel itself is composed of several essential layers. The liquid crystal and color filter layers work at a pixel level to create images with remarkable clarity. Optical sheets and diffuser plates ensure even brightness across the screen, while the blue LED backlight, when combined with the QD layer, generates vivid, highly efficient colors. This precise engineering allows Samsung QLED TVs to deliver a level of picture quality that traditional LCDs cannot match.
Samsung QLED TVs are certified as ‘Real Quantum Dot Displays’ by TÜV Rheinland, meeting three critical requirements: the presence of a QD layer, sufficient quantum dot concentration, and a blue backlight. This certification underscores Samsung’s commitment to providing authentic quantum dot technology, setting its products apart from competitors.

The difference between QLED and conventional LCD TVs is striking. Samsung’s technology produces narrow, distinct peaks in the red, green, and blue wavelengths, resulting in meticulous color representation. By contrast, LCD TVs without quantum dots show broader bandwidths and inconsistent peaks, often requiring additional layers to correct colors, which reduces efficiency and brightness.

The teardown highlights that Samsung QLED TVs are more than just high-end displays—they represent the harmonious integration of hardware and software, designed to maximize the viewer’s experience. From the precise control of light at the pixel level to AI-powered enhancements, every detail is engineered to deliver superior image quality and immersive sound.

Samsung’s commitment to innovation ensures that our customers experience the very best in display technology. QLED TVs are the perfect example of how we combine cutting-edge science with everyday usability, delivering not just a television, but a truly immersive viewing experience that is second to none.

Samsung Electronics continues to champion the “Buy Real, Not Fake” initiative, showcased at IFA 2025 with the “Real QLED Zone.” QLED TVs exemplify Samsung’s dedication to authentic, high-quality products, enabling viewers to enjoy colors, clarity, and sound as intended by the creators.

With Samsung QLED TVs, consumers are not just watching television—they are witnessing the future of display technology.
