    It can be difficult to keep track of all the different acronyms that represent the latest and greatest in television technology. While OLED TVs have become a popular choice for many large screens, Samsung has been winning people over with its QLED technology. Offering more budget-friendly, larger screen options than typical OLED TV manufacturers, QLED TVs are a great choice to consider as you explore different options. Samsung’s models come in different sizes, ranging all the way up to 100 inches. The picture produces a great image right up there with other popular television options available today.
