In a side-by-side comparison at the Los Angeles Convention Center, an RGB LED TV exhibited color crosstalk and contrast issues when compared to a QD TV. The mini-LED panel with super quantum dots, the TCL X11L, demonstrated clearer colors and better contrast than the RGB LED TV. The RGB LED TV, possibly the TCL RM9L, showed color bleeding, affecting skin tones and affecting overall picture quality. Although both TVs were set to Filmmaker Mode, the RGB model’s reliance on red, green, and blue LEDs in zones led to more noticeable color crosstalk and reduced contrast. The SQD TV utilized blue LED backlights with up to 14,400 dimming zones, providing superior contrast and avoiding color crosstalk, a known issue in RGB LED technology. As the RGB LED market grows, its crosstalk challenges remain, though future improvements in processing and technology may reduce these limitations.
