Mini LED vs. OLED:
What's the difference and which TV is right for you?

Picture quality is a key factor that drastically affects your overall viewing experience in terms of how realistic and immersive the content appears, down to the finest details. Additionally, it determines the TV's ability to showcase accurate color, contrast and motion.

Compared to traditional LED, Mini LED optimizes picture quality in Samsung Neo QLED TVs by enhancing brightness with rich color rendition, delivering better HDR quality.

Meanwhile, OLED achieves outstanding image quality through its ability to produce excellent deep black levels and balanced whites, creating a striking combination of depth and clarity on Samsung OLED TVs.

Brightness is essential for visibility and overall viewing experience, especially in terms of color expression.

Mini LED enhances brightness by illuminating specific zones as needed, creating a natural and balanced viewing experience in both bright and dark environments. Samsung Neo QLEDs feature QLED technology and Quantum Dot-based color expression, delivering a richer range of color across all brightness levels for bright, realistic hues.

Meanwhile, OLED technology is capable of accurate color reproduction and has evolved with advancements like OLED HDR, delivering powerful brightness and deeper contrast fully enabled by every pixel. This makes Samsung OLEDs ideal for deep, contrasting visuals, controlling pixels one by one.

Black expression is crucial for displaying depth and enhancing contrast, significantly impacting visual quality.

Mini LED technology — found in Samsung Neo QLED TVs — improves black expression through precise light control with local dimming technology, where independent backlight zones help to minimize light leakage and enhance contrast. This results in more detail in the darkest and brightest scenes, especially noticeable in HDR content.

In contrast, OLED achieves dark blacks thanks to self-emissive dimming pixels, which produce deep blacks and clean whites. This makes Samsung OLED TVs ideal for immersive experiences like watching movies in low-light settings.

Contrast is important for image vibrancy and overall quality, as it amplifies the difference between dark and bright areas.

Mini LED can produce a wide range of brightness, resulting in both better HDR expression and detailed, accurate contrast, as seen in Samsung Neo QLED TVs.

OLED delivers impressive depth and lifelike contrast by independently controlling each pixel, resulting in dark blacks and bright whites for a stunning visual experience on Samsung OLED TVs.

When it comes to watching movies, Mini LED and OLED both deliver a vivid and enjoyable experience, but each stands out differently depending on the type of environment.

Mini LED's high brightness and vivid color expression — key features of Samsung Neo QLED TVs — make it ideal for watching HDR content.

OLED excels in producing deep blacks, making Samsung OLED TVs more immersive and suitable for high-contrast content.
