Samsung to focus on OLED

[wily me]

I trolled about the marketing gimmick. You clearly possess poor comprehension skills, because I clearly stated that my plasma's resolution is 1024x768 and yet you are still asking me if I have a Full HDTV. Keep on trolling...

I am not a "PlasmaPot victim". I bought my plasma before he started having those discussions and I would buy another any second if I had the money.

So you are a troll. Like they say, it takes one to see one.

1024*768? Now I take then that your expertise, as opposed to other MyBB posters, about full HD resolution is by your first hand experience then?

FFS. Can't. Handle. Trolls. Enjoy the derailed discussion. I'm out.

OLED has a little way to go before it is TV ready afaik. I have heard that current generation screens have issues with inconsistent blacks. This is mostly only noticeable when a dark image is being displayed in a dark room, which is why it isn't a problem with smartphones or the Vita, but I forsee issues for TV unless they are able to avoid this in newer generation panels.

The other issue that OLED has had is that the blue part of the matrix decays more rapidly than the others, which makes the screen redder over time. This is one reason why some panels are noticeably bluer when first used, so this will offest this increased rate of decay. I'm not sure if this has already been fixed in current tech, though.

This is just stuff I have come across, so not sure how accurate this is.

Thanks, back to topic.

OLED once the price dropped to an acceptable level is the way to go. Death of the LCD and plasma eminent? Until then the back-lit LED technology will be the best solution for the majority of consumers because the advantages in favor of the technology are just to significant as opposed to the now dated tech of Plasma and LCD.

Maybe that's why they aren't available yet, still sorting out the bugs?

Yup, samsung are only releasing at the end of the year. I think the bugs must be sorted out though, if you check samsung's oled and lg's at that show they look ready to go but i guess manufacturing is the issue for now.

What's wrong with CNET?

Don't know, never found anything good there. I always just find a bunch of marketing BS.

Hmmm... maybe that's the factor that makes the difference - I use plasma and you use LCD. Plasma shows a very smooth image whereas LCD is generally very sharp.

Yes, exactly!

Wikipedia has quite a bit of information regarding those problems and indicated that they are being worked on.

Ag cheer up, wily me.

Maybe a little earlier according to this ... http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-33199_...-at-the-ipad-3-with-scheduled-product-launch/

There seems to be little info on exactly how Samsung's 'Super OLED' as they call it, works. However it sounds like the LG model(s) will not use coloured OLEDs, but rather only white with a colour filter mask. Actually each pixel will be made up of 4 sub-pixels; red, blue, green (filtered) and white (unfiltered), assume the white is to boost brightness.

Interesting to see if Samsung OLED technology is any different (deserving of the Super title)? Edit: does seem Super OLED comprises of true RBG coloured OLEDs.

Get off your high horse, sheeesh. Sit 1cm from your screen and now tell me 720 is the same as 1080p. There we go, you are incorrect. It all boils down to viewing distances, so if people are claiming they can see the difference between the resolutions, maybe, just maybe, they have either 1) better eyesight or 2) are sitting closer to the TV (which is likely since they are not on a horse like you are)

I like to see it from this viewpoint:

With regard to picture resolution, the basic principle is the higher the resolution of the TV and the source, the closer you can sit to the screen. The more pixels the TV shows, the more uniform and sharper the image will be perceived. Sitting close to a TV with low resolution will make the pixel grid more visible.

Why limit your experience due to a set viewing distance, it's ridiculousness to say the least. Rather cater for the lot and be happy. Generally when we have visitors and the TV or a video is playing the kids gather on the carpet close-by.

What should they expect to see?

So the question "What is your viewing distance" and the subsequent answer "you only need 720p as you will have no benefit with HD resolutions" is just garbage and garbage in = garbage out.

Considering the expense of a TV and the small cost difference between a Full HD and HD ready TV, it's just stupid to not go for the full mcoy.
