Samsung just recently unveiled its lineup of high-end televisions once again. The so-called QLED TV series will be available in three models, the Q9, Q8 and Q7 series. According to Samsung, the QLED TV is the greatest representation of their achievement in image quality and viewing experience yet.

The majority of TV manufacturing companies are into OLED TV's in 2017. So, what's so special with Samsung's QLED TV's? (aside from changing the "O" to "Q" of course.)

First and foremost, OLED means "Organic Light-Emitting Diode", a screen technology that emits light when current is passing through it. The OLED technology is basically a faster, more vivid and a more advanced version of the LED technology. It is a lot better in terms of performance, brightness, and speed compared to the old LED technology that is used on flat screen TV.

QLED, on the other hand, stands for "Quantum dot Light-Emitting Diode", these are tiny particles that could radiate a certain spectrum of light that is capable of reproducing 100 percent color when supplied with energy. A QLED screen makes it possible for viewers to see a leaf, for example, from yellowish green to turquoise, depending on the light's brightness.

In an interview with Stephen Mitchell, General Manager TV and AV, Samsung UK and Ireland, featured in a WIRED report, he said that "QLED makes it possible for the TV to express a significantly improved range of color with much greater detail compared to conventional TVs. This means they can express all colors at any level of brightness."

According to cnet, the initial price of the QLED TV starts at $2500 for a 55-inch size. It is also expected to be somewhat cheaper than OLED TVs except the flagship model, the Q9 which may possibly cost higher at a 65-inch size compared to OLED TVs. Read Next Article: Heartbreaking Story: Two Brothers Regard As 'Ghost' Due To Their Genetic Disorder
