Television technology is evolving rapidly with advancements in display technology, processing power and the integration of AI. The push for higher resolution continues, with present-day TVs offering sharper images and good audio. It is literally like bringing the cinema home, thanks to OLED (organic light emitting diode) and QLED (quantum dot light emitting diode)—both advanced display technologies, but they differ in their core mechanisms.
OLED offers superior picture quality with perfect blacks and high contrast, but may be susceptible to burn-in. QLED provides good brightness and colour, with no burn-in risk, and is often more budget-friendly. The best way to experience technology is to use it. Recently, we got an opportunity to evaluate two new 55-inch QLED units. Here are our thoughts on them.
The Blaupunkt Quantum Dot QLED Ultra HD (4K) Smart Google TV 2025 Edition comes with Dolby Atmos sound technology. Priced at 32k, it’s built on the Android TV operating system that integrates streaming services, apps and live TV channels into a unified interface, offering personalised recommendations and voice control. Its Quantum Dot technology offers an engaging viewing experience. There is 4K, 3840 x 2160 pixels resolution, support for multiple formats (Asf, AVI, FLV, MKV, MP4, MPEG, MPG), 3 HDMI ports and 70W sound output.
It’s a nice TV for use in a bright room due to its high brightness and it easily overcomes glare. Even in a dark room, there is a good level of contrast. A standout option for a home theatre due to its image processing and accuracy and support for Dolby sound technology. You will love watching shows, cricket matches or movies with a large group of people in the room.
Vibrant Visuals and Smarter Suggestions
Another worthy option is the Acer V Pro Series QLED Ultra HD (4K) Smart Google TV. Based on Android 14, it supports Netflix, JioHotstar, Prime Video, YouTube, among others. The 30 W Quantum Hi-Fi speakers with Dolby Atmos bring immersive sound, while the Dual AI core processor ensures smooth operation. With 2 GB RAM, 16 GB storage, this TV offers space, speed, and peace of mind for your daily viewing. What I liked about the Google TV interface is that it brings everything you love to watch into one easy space, with faster speed and smarter suggestions.
Additionally, the Quantum Dot technology on this Acer TV delivers vibrant colours with deeper blacks and good brightness levels.
MEMC technology reduces blur, so fast-paced sports and action scenes feel more fluid and lifelike. 4K upscaling sharpens lower-resolution visuals, adding fine detail and polish to anything you watch. It’s good for general browsing, gaming, or streaming the latest Netflix or Prime Video movie. Here’s the best part: This Acer TV’s 4-sided frameless metal design makes the screen feel larger and your space more modern and stylish.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the TV’s performance.
