Mini-LED
LCD displays with thousands of small LED backlights that can be dimmed locally — closer to OLED contrast without OLED's burn-in.
Not to be confused with MicroLED (a separate technology in which every pixel is a LED). Mini-LED is still LCD with backlighting — but with 1000–2500 dimming zones instead of just one. "Halo"/"blooming" around bright objects on a dark background is the trade-off. Apple Pro Display XDR (2019), iPad Pro M1+, MacBook Pro 14"/16" (2021+). Samsung "Neo QLED", Sony Bravia X95L, TCL and Hisense premium models. Competes with OLED in the premium TV segment.
