I just got into oleds 2years ago. Man, things are moving quickly these days, arent they?. New better oleds coming, new rgb mini-led lcds, new qdel tech and micro-oleds. So much to get excited about. Golden era of display tech. What a time to be alive!

[@Skylancer727]

@@nBasterd doesn't matter. They'll still be way out of anyone's price range for a few years even after they come to the market.

[@nBasterd]

@Skylancer727 used marketplace fixes that. Plus clearance sales. Thats how ive bought my 3 oleds in the past 2years with -60% discount.

[@Neonmirrorblack]

No, not really considering OLED TVs came out in 2015. MicroLED has existed as a prototype since before then, and we've had "the wall" type panels that no one could afford or have in their homes for a while now. QDEL is interesting, but we won't see an actual affordable TV (*if they choose to pursue one) for at least six years away minimum. The other panel technologies will be similar. Right now, we just have access to new information much faster than we previously did, but the time to develop will be just as long, if not longer than previous panel technologies.

[@nBasterd]

@@Neonmirrorblack i hear you. But heres where I think youre wrong. The chinese are pushing innovation quickly. Theyre beating the koreans and japanese asses. And the koreans are already in tight competition with each other. We werent suppose to see MLA so quickly, but QD-Oled happened to be great. Now theyre already ditching it for a new thing. Thats so friggin quick. Now add to that the pressure from market gain for the chinese mini-LED-s with quantum dots aggressively matching OLED-s black levels and color saturation. And they havent really started producing oleds yet. And then just this month we got the news that we can buy micro-leds under 10 000$. Experience shows that weve been wrong about these "coming maybe after 5years or so" predictions. No man can predict the future. Also to me 165hz OLED Tv-s with 2000nits seems insane. My first tv was a 2011 panasonic plasma with 60hz, 1080p. I bought an overclockable lcd monitor for 500$ in 2013, to get 110hz, lol. Were so spoiled these days with displays. Golden age, I stand by that. And supposedly the oled tv-s can already do 500hz, its just locked in software, held back for future profits. Meanwhile 500hz pc monitors are already a thing.

I bet that polymer has some graphene for conductivity. This is a way better approach to micro led, holy smokes.

[@S0oo]

At the current Silicium wafer prices, they should consider a new business branch for graphene production or carbon nano tube wafers. I really don't see cheap products with those skyrocketing wafer costs.

[@SomeUserNameBlahBlah]

@@S0oo Graphene and nano tubes are expensive to make, way more than silicon.

[@SomeUserNameBlahBlah]

No, the polymer acts as an insulator and mask to keep the sputtered metal from shorting. This technology in the video is still micro LED, just a better manufacturing process.

[@S0oo]

@ Once Mass Production is ready, the cost will go down and it's likely that we will make it from literal trashcan garbage.

[@klaymatic3751]

With this tech making an 8k versus 4k would be fairly trivial. Hopefully we are talking about 100" 8k micro LED TV's in 4-5 years for 20k. Not that I could afford that but it's the kind of halo product that would signal smaller sizes are coming.

[@we8463]

Your best video to date!

[@johnwatt1911]

Thank you for that glimpse of the future. Could I ask a question please. What is more critical; improved (AI) upscaling/cleaning or improved microlevel video handling....? My feeling is that video handling/processing has improved far more than upscaling in recent months . Upscaling/cleaning is where the next step change is needed, then micro level processing/handling.

[@stopthefomo]

I think AI upscaling for improved motion resolution is critical because sports action is noticeably better when you improve motion resolution via better (AI) motion handling whether that's frame generation (Nvidia) or interpolation algorithms. We perceive improvements to size, brightness/contrast, color saturation and motion most acutely. Resolution upscaling/cleaning has diminishing returns beyond a certain point just as micro-level video handling. I agree that upscaling of dirty 720p broadcasts still need work

[@DaveBjornRapp]

[@Skylancer727]

Using lithography? How exactly will that scale to full size TVs? Like silicon wafers are only around 18 inch circles. It wouldn't even be able to make a gaming monitor. At best a phone display.

[@Debanjanepiskey]

I mean, aren't micro led TVs already a combination of smaller modules?

[@stopthefomo]

I don't believe it's size limited because higher yields should allow for monolithic sizes but we'll see in a year how it's progressing

[@Skylancer727]

@Debanjanepiskey well yeah, but they made it sound like they had made some revolution that makes that irrelevant. Like personally I don't even think the modules are that bad an idea as you could just use the modules behind the glass or plastic panel rather than make the whole thing modular. But they made it sound like they almost mocked the idea of modular as a dead end.

[@RandomGreenFishPhone]

My ideal TV would be one that is reliable and doesn't burn in or have the picture degrade after a few years, can get fairly bright (at least 1000 nits), has accurate colors / HDR, minimal input lag for gaming, has a refresh rate of at least 120hz, has a wide viewing angle with minimal ghosting or other artifacts, and doesn't require an account or internet connection for all features to work. I would actually prefer a "dumb" TV over the bloated smart TVs that are on the market. Hopefully micro LED TVs will be closer to my ideal TV than current ones, but I am not counting on many "dumb" TVs to be released.

[@MichelleAlexandria-EM]

get yourself a TCL QM8

[@RandomGreenFishPhone]

@@MichelleAlexandria-EM I picked up a TCL Q7 last year after seeing a video on this channel comparing it to the competition. I almost got a QM8 but the 7 was on sale for $350 less. I have been pretty impressed with it, with my only real complaints being the viewing angle and its performance when gaming at higher framerates. Hopefully this TV lasts longer than the OLED it replaced, and if it does I will likely get another TCL. I was very impressed with the newest tech they were showing off at CES.

[@M7son3000]

[@stopthefomo]

I would only ever consider buying a micro LED tv if they bring the price down to as you said a top spec OLED but more importantly, it would have to be one complete screen, not a screen made up of modules

Nah. That specific video wall is $62,999 retail on their website right now.

[@stopthefomo]

$62K is still too much bit.ly/4jxxUcp and this technology seeks to bring that down! Current 97" OLED is $21K so that would be almost 1/3 the price of the AWALL. Also, current microLED tiles cannot support 4K TVs smaller than 90" due to the smaller pitch requirement.

X93L has natural skin tones out of the box but QM8 way better contrast/HDR impact - most people will prefer the skin tones when watching full screen TV shows and movies and in a bright room the X93L looks better HOWEVER, in a dark room or for gaming the QM8 is technically superior but cannot be calibrated to match the X93L so you choose your poison.

[@Skylancer727]

@joshuaw2143 even if their claims are true, which I highly question as lithography is mainly used for tiny 18 inch disks, not 80 inch rectangles, it will still be way out of most people's price ranges for a long time. Plus he kinda waved off the heat and energy issues of microLED. Like a current 4K microLED used 2700w. That means you need 2 electrical lines running just to power your TV. That just won't be how the TVs will actually end up, not with energy ratings.
