OLED technology is superior in image quality, with advantages in color, contrast, and overall viewing experience. QLED TVs are generally more affordable and offers excellent quality, with a brighter and more saturated picture.

QLED vs. OLED: Which Is Better? When compared head to head, OLED comes out on top. It has deeper blacks and high contrast ratios, uses less power, has better-viewing angles, and has a longer lifespan. In comparison, QLEDs generally have higher brightness, larger screen sizes, and lower price tags. Though, OLED is catching up in these aspects.

The LG C1 OLED is better overall than the Samsung Q80/Q80A QLED. The LG's OLED panel produces much deeper blacks because it has a near-infinite contrast, and there's no blooming around bright objects. The Samsung has an LED panel that gets much brighter, and it's immune to burn-in.
