After years of companies promising that their quantum dot light-emitting diode TVs use quantum dots (QDs) to boost color, some industry watchers and consumers have recently started questioning whether QLED TVs use QDs at all. Lawsuits have been filed, accusing companies like TCL of using misleading language about whether their QLED TVs actually use QDs.

In this article, we'll break down why new conspiracy theories about QLED TVs are probably overblown. We'll also explore why misleading marketing from TV brands is responsible for customer doubt and how it all sets a bad precedent for the future of high-end displays, including OLED TVs and monitors.

Do you have some credible review sites you recommend?

    Not OP, but rtings seems good to me. They're not afraid to mention when a new model is actually inferior to it's predecessor and they have standardized scoring for multiple product categories. Downside is limit of free reviews per month, but I've never needed more than they allow.

    I agree. That was one of the main sites I used to determine buying the Sony Bravia. Turns out they were spot on about everything. I'll use that site again I'm sure.

    Sony and Philips are the top tier lately as far as I know. LG has been doing weird things and Samsung hasn't actually been good on the high-end for a long time. Or maybe it's coming back now with the QD-OLED displays? Because the original "QLED" absolutely felt like deceptive marketing, as "QLED" looks so similar to "OLED". Then there's the whole ads thing on Samsung. Idk if LG does this.

    So chances are, you made a pretty good choice. Sony's a reliable company generally.

    Most PC hardware Gamers Nexus and Hardware Unboxed

    Notebooks: notebookcheck
