Hisense USA faces a lawsuit alleging that its QLED televisions do not actually contain the advertised quantum dot technology. The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, claims that these televisions lack the necessary components to be classified as QLED, instead categorizing them as standard LED TVs.
Quantum dots, tiny semiconductor materials, are essential for enhancing color performance in displays. The lawsuit argues that Hisense’s models, including the QD5, QD6, QD65, QD7, U7, and U7N series, either contain negligible amounts of this technology or none at all.
According to the filing, the absence of quantum dot technology misleads consumers and results in inflated prices for products that do not deliver the promised performance benefits. The plaintiff asserts that the technology’s presence is difficult for consumers to verify without proper testing methods, which the complaint claims are available.
This legal action raises significant questions about advertising standards in the television industry and the implications for consumers seeking high-quality display technology.
