MINI LED TV
TECH EXPLAINED

LITTLE LIGHTS. BIG IMPACT.

Don’t let their size fool you. With smaller LEDs packed into your TV screen, Mini LED TVs produce deeper blacks, brighter highlights and offer you an incredible contrast. It will bring your HDR content to life at home.

You’ll also love that this tech is energy efficient, so you’ll also save on your energy bills while sitting on the couch.

What is Mini LED TV Technology?

Improved Contrast

With diodes as small as 0.2mm, you can pack more into each screen. This gives you brighter images and more precise backlight control.

The Blackest Of Blacks

The backlight tech in LED often made blacks on screen seem grey. However, Mini LEDs pack more diodes into the screen to give you true colour representation.

Wafer-Thin Panels

With LEDS that are shrunk down to size, and a new style of backlight, thinner screens are now a reality. They’re even powering the new Apple iPad range.

Stunning Power Savings

Who knew that saving money could look so good on screen? Their power consumption rates are incredibly low compared with competing tech like OLED.

Mini LED TV Technology Glossar

We’ll break down all the tech talk and acronyms that you need to know.

Diode

Measuring 0.2mm, diodes are the ‘D’ in LED. These are used as the backlight to project the TV picture. Since they are smaller in size than the traditional LED TV diodes, more can be packed into the TV screen. This means that the diodes in Mini LED TVs give you more control to create a better quality image. It also means there is less backlight bleed.

LCD Substrate

This is the glass panel on the TV screen that protects the technology encased inside. The tens of thousands of Mini LEDs sit behind this panel, and it works as a transistor for the display to produce the TV colours and picture.

LED

LED TVs utilise an LCD screen to project their picture. A backlight within the screen controls where light is displayed and when colours are lit up. LED screens are split up into zones that can be controlled independently. The more zones a screen contains, the greater the picture control the TV has.

HDR Content

High-dynamic range content has a higher contrast and a larger colour and brightness range than Standard (SDR) content. It is also more visually impactful than 4K content. Most Mini LED TVs fully support this level of output.

Zones

Premium TVs are able to locally control the colour in areas on a screen, known as zones. These zones can be brightened or dimmed independently, which results in deeper shadows, brighter highlights and more vivid colour.

Mini LED TV screens contain more zones than previous technologies, allowing just a handful of pixels to be controlled rather than larger chunks.
