If you've recently acquired an Apple TV 4K but cannot take advantage of the higher resolution or HDR content on your current television, it's likely that you're in the market for a new Ultra HD screen. AppleInsider has compiled a list of LED, OLED, and QLED televisions currently on sale that could help improve your viewing experience.
LED
Those looking for a television without breaking the bank can find ultra high definition (UHD) models for under $400 this holiday season. Many also offer HDR functionality for a more vivid picture, a feature supported by the Apple TV 4K. While it is likely many people will use the Apple TV 4K as their main content source, LED televisions often include other smart TV elements for added versatility.
In terms of deals, B&H and Amazon are offering shoppers instant savings this week on many popular models. When comparing the two retailers, keep in mind that B&H will not collect sales tax on orders shipped outside NY and NJ. B&H is also throwing in a free gift, such as an Amazon Echo or Jam Voice wireless speaker, with select televisions. Please note, several of the Cyber Week promotions end on Dec. 2.

OLED
Standing for Organic Light Emitting Diode, OLED is a technology where the pixels that make up the display panel are self illuminating, instead of the LED technique of using a backlight. This generally means an OLED television offers superior contrast and black shades compared to an LED screen, which in turn also provides better overall picture quality.
The contrast and picture quality improvements also come at a cost, with OLED-based televisions typically priced at a premium compared to regular LED models. Ultimately, it all depends on how much you value the quality of the image over the size of the screen itself.

QLED
Samsung's quantum dot LED televisions, also known as QLED TVs, are also well-known for offering viewers rich blacks and vivid colors. Quantum dots are photoluminescent particles included in an LED screen that can produce brighter and more vibrant colors, with colors produced depending on their size. Generally, this can allow QLED televisions to improve the brightness and color intensity compared to their LED counterparts, giving televisions using the technology superior HDR capabilities.
Some QLED televisions switch out the photoluminescent quantum dots for electroluminescent nanoparticles which can generate their own light instead of requiring a backlight, mimicking an OLED panel in some ways. Again, this is relatively expensive compared to LED televisions, but the higher picture quality may be worth the expense. Speaking of cost, B&H and Amazon are running deals to the tune of $1,200 off Samsung QLED TVs. Customers shopping at B&H can also take advantage of no sales tax on orders shipped outside NY and NJ.
