Micro-LED vs. MiniLED: What's the Difference, & What Should You Buy?
1 min read
Summary
Mini-LED screens use smaller LEDs than standard LED screens and increase the brightness and contrast of the display, while micro-LEDs are even smaller and brighter still, and in some ways outperform OLED displays.
For example, micro-LEDs do not need a backlight so can display true black, unlike OLEDs, and reach even higher peaks of brightness.
However, currently micro-LED technology is very expensive and not yet scalable, while mini-LED displays are both more affordable and readily available, making the two variants comparable cousins.
With this in mind, the average consumer opting for an LED screen upgrade may want to consider a mini-LED display, which supersedes the quality of LED at a reasonable cost.
