Thinking Of Upgrading Your TV? Here’s What Really Makes A Difference In Picture Quality

Discover how televisions certified with Real Quantum Dot technology elevate the viewing experience with greater colour accuracy & precision

Upgrading your TV is an increasingly important decision for those seeking an improved home entertainment experience. Beyond screen size or resolution, there’s a technology that makes a real difference in picture quality: Real Quantum Dot Display, certified by TÜV Rheinland, an international certification organization based in Germany and featured in certain Samsung TVs. Samsung’s quantum dot technology has also been developed without cadmium^[1] – a material toxic to health and the environment.

Thanks to this innovation – Samsung achieves 100% colour volume^[2], great brightness and durability, positioning itself as a benchmark in high quality visual technology.

Not all QLEDs are created equal. Samsung’s Real QLED has earned official certification from TÜV Rheinland^[3] confirming compliance with the IEC 62595-1-6 international standard, the benchmark for authentic quantum dot (QD) displays.

Realistic And Vibrant Colours With Real Quantum Dot

Real Quantum Dot technology uses nanocrystals that transform light into accurate colours, achieving near-realistic reproduction. This results in more vibrant images, sharper details and an immersive experience for both movies and TV shows. Unlike technologies without the certification, Samsung TVs with Real Quantum Dot maintain their image quality for longer – guaranteeing long-lasting performance.

Cadmium-Free^[1]: Responsible Innovation

One of Samsung’s major differentiators is that its Real Quantum Dot technology is cadmium-free¹, a heavy metal commonly used in traditional displays that poses risks to health and the environment. By removing this component, Samsung improves the safety of its products, without sacrificing quality or visual performance.

Greater Brightness & Contrast For Different Types Of Content

Samsung TVs offer superior brightness, allowing you to enjoy clear images even in brightly lit environments. Furthermore, optimised contrast highlights details in both dark and bright scenes. This allows for a cinematic experience at home, with accurate colours and greater image depth.
