Samsung announces 2021 TV lineup with Neo QLED and microLED
Samsung today announced its 2021 lineup of televisions at the virtual CES 2021. These include models featuring Samsung s Neo QLED as well as micoLED.
Samsung introduced what it calls Neo QLED to its flagship 8K (QN900A) and 4K (QN90A) models. Neo QLED is a combination of a new backlighting technology and new image processing.
Neo QLED uses Mini LED backlighting technology, which comprises of much smaller individual LED elements behind the display that can focus light on a much smaller area. This allows for much smaller zones in a full array local dimming system and much more localized brightness, resulting in higher contrast. Samsung doesn t specify how many zones its new televisions have, just that it s better than their traditional QLED.
