Overblown quantum dot conspiracy theories make important points about QLED TVs (arstechnica.com)

After years of companies promising that their quantum dot light-emitting diode TVs use quantum dots (QDs) to boost color, some industry watchers and consumers have recently started questioning whether QLED TVs use QDs at all. Lawsuits have been filed, accusing companies like TCL of using misleading language about whether their QLED TVs actually use QDs.

In this article, we'll break down why new conspiracy theories about QLED TVs are probably overblown. We'll also explore why misleading marketing from TV brands is responsible for customer doubt and how it all sets a bad precedent for the future of high-end displays, including OLED TVs and monitors.

This is why I increasingly look at review sites I trust, especially for claims I can't easily verify myself. If it's not reviewed it doesn't exist.

Do you have some credible review sites you recommend?

Not OP, but rtings seems good to me. They're not afraid to mention when a new model is actually inferior to it's predecessor and they have standardized scoring for multiple product categories. Downside is limit of free reviews per month, but I've never needed more than they allow.

Do be careful. I'm considering 700€ headphones because of them.

Their sortable category ratings are just awesome though. Have a big home? Go look at routers and sort by rating for multi-level home or large home.
