Wtf. You never heard of this?

Dorupero He's new here!

***** it happens Bro, the moment when you're left out!

uear7070 Me neither, fed up of following TV tech (mobile tech too for the same reason) as they are always coming up with some bullshit every time the high end TVs end up £800 or less, unless I need a TV or phone and then I check options out but generally don't bother. I like reading about Intel/AMD/Nvidia's latest 2% performance increase every other week instead...

this series is not for stuff you never heard of its for stuff you have heard but have no clue what it actually means.

Peanut-butter with toffee and brownie.

R u stupid u can't eat them

Du hell

Welcome to six flags.

WadurMelawn Ftw

+Nosh Nosher OMG but 5000$ tho

I currently use a 40" 4k samsung TV with 60hz. Can watch movies and play games. aaand I can sit right in front of it. Pixel density is ok to be able to read everything. AND DAMN you have alot of space. I always cry when I sit in front of a 1080p 22" screen :D

+DESCENT, I'm sitting in front of a 20'' 900p. I would really want a 1080 bigger one :D

+TinchoX well it's Overkill, but I love it! If you play a game that can't support 4k (one 980 isn't enough for alot of games, trust me) then you can play at 1440p and sit on your couch, Or play in window mode and have a "virtual" 27" screen. or even 1080p on a 24" whatever. Main reason for the 4k screen (1000 euros for a samsung) was: I used to have that 27" 1440p screen from korea. It was to small to watch movies. Also the Blacks are more like a medium gray. and alot of backlight bleed + one dead subpixel. I wanted a bigger screen so I can watch movies in my room (small apartment) also I didn't want to go back to 1080p, especialy on a wider screen. My Eyes would turn into blocks. I swear! so the only option was a nice 40" 4k Samsung smart TV The colours and the blacks are NUTS!!! also it can "simulate" 60fps. so I can play 30fps xbox games without getting cancer. I can even netflix and chill without powering up my Computer. Love that beast. But for gaming I recomend you to stick to a GOOD 27"ish 1440p screen.

+DESCENT can't wait for 16k 250hz Oleds ok no

😂

+Zona ALG ikr

Because uncoloured TV doesn't look good...

Sonny back in my day we just had a stick n' hoop. Ahh the good days...

***** yes you can and it will look even better on a white and black tv...

〈LS〉 XeN it was a joke 😂

about to join the quantum dot revolution

Search Quantum Dot OLED Hybrid on google. It's cool to know that people are already experimenting in combining the two together for the best picture possible.

@@CryptoJordanVR aaaaaaand LTT just uploaded a preview of Samsung monitor tech which does just this!

Just don't stick it in your body...

@@nikkinik4188 but I like the way it feels

***** unfortunately it seems just like the LCD vs Plasma thing , LCD was inferior but cheaper...

ShoteR Good thinking! I overlooked that part

ShoteR Actually, OLED has an enormous potential to drop in price once manufacturing technologies advance. In ten years, a 50" OLED TV will probably cost $200. Plasma never had that chance because of the nature of the technology, but OLED screens can be produced without much more complexity than printing with an inkjet printer. I was about to argue that plasma suffered from burn-in, but OLED suffers the same fate due to aging, so I guess LCD has the upper hand in that one respect.

Richard Craig ShoteR Personally I think the quality of plasmas suffered in well-lit rooms compared to LCDs which lead to their demise as (in my experience) most people had well-lit, open living spaces. It will just depend on where you locate your screen. Plasmas for home theatres, LCDs for living spaces, "horses for courses".

***** I have a 50" Panasonic plasma, i also have 2 Samsung LCD's. The plasma is hands down a better picture, as far as burn in, mine has a screen saver that kicks in, it may use more energy but its a better picture, i even game on it, no refresh rate problems with a plasma.

Well Betamax also could not hold as much data. So really long movies one one cassette easier achieve with VHS.

OLED is here to stay... the manufacturing costs of OLED screens is dropping fast and will continue to do so for a long time. When the OLED market reaches the bottom of its eventual pricing, it'll be FAR cheaper than LCD. Just think, only 7 years ago, Sony sold an 11" 540p OLED TV for $2500, and now LG is selling a curved 55" OLED TV for $500 cheaper... imagine where we'll be in another 7 years.

Like PC vs Console scrubs.

Richard Craig 14 years is too long to wait for reasonable prices.

Don't forget the porn factor. VHS had it while Beta didn't

IPS inherently cannot reach 144hz. We will need a new display technology! It will be awesome though!

ASager30 Right. You know what I mean, tho. A fast AND color-accurate one is the supreme goal.

Acer Predator XB270HU 144hz IPS G-sync with 3ms response. Linus has a video about it on Vessel.

ASager30 Not true, it's a historical limitation but not an inherent one.

***** Acer Predator XB270HU 144hz IPS out the box.

That would be the fucking best.

yes, cause they're using an greenscreen for the white background ans then the Sponsors Logo and Linus head would just fly in the air :D

Oh so that's why my 4K Sony TV has so good colors lol.

Because snazzy marketing!

wonderr Linus just bashed your Sony quantum dot. Were you so blind you didn't comprehend the video?? Bahhh Bahhh

Its still an excellent TV, best at that price range. And I'm sorry it was late at night I watched this and English isn't my mother tongue so its not easy to focus on hearing everything they say in the video.

Peter Aitken maybe because you don't play games like the kids here. which is kind of a good thing

Damn u lucky

SAME

If a monitor manufacturer comes out with an OLED with a 144hz refresh rate, make sure you give them crap for using a crappy scaler in there because the theoretical refresh rate of OLED is much, much higher than 144hz. ;)

Plasma has proven that 250hz scalers are possible to manufacture, so accept no less than that. :P

***** your soul

MinecraftEpicPlayer gladly.

+Bobby Geiser plasma.. their sub-field specs are the biggest joke in tv marketing ever. 600 hz sub-field = 10 x 60 hz = 60 hz lmao.. no wonder plasma died. nvidia's gsync module can do real 200 hz on computer monitors.

+ComandanteJ but i bet you also want a insanely expensive tv to last more than 3 years? and don't suffer from blur in fast moving scenes or games.

Well, yeah, endurance of the organic compounds it's a challenge, but if it's solely for cinema, i dont mind a little blurriness, films that use fast panning and stupid parkinson-like filming are not my cup of tea, anyways. ;) If they can engineer an compound to keep a balanced colour output for around 8 to ten years... we wouldnt need any other screen technology haha.

even if lifetime was increased to 8-10 years, the blur is still a problem for many people and the price too. by the time oled yield is on par with lcd, they might have fixed lifetime issues and maybe even blur. but i don't think this will happen anytime soon. i think qled w/ hdr is gonna be big, while oled matures.

Blur is not that bad at all for movies, i've seen quite a lot of OLED displays lastly, and i couldnt see any blur at all with BluRay material. It might be a concern for videogames and such, but i dont NEED top notch video quality for games, so QLED is good enough for that. But cinema? Yeah, please, give me the highest contrast ratios and deepest blacks you can, i dont mind mild blur. Here at home i have a DLP projector, a Plasma, some TN LCD's, an IPS LCD, and a VA LCD. Plasma is the king in image quality, then there is a tie between the DLP and the VA, then IPS (nice colors but terrible bleeding), and of courste, useless TN after that. I lie, old discount CRT would be way ahead, even at 480i. So you can see, blacks are very important for me LOL. Let's hope OLED matures fast.

+ComandanteJ That's racist.

Quantum dot isn't its own thing exactly but like enhancing those ips/va/tn monitors, you can see this in the new msi mag monitor with qd which is an ips monitor at its core

Then just get an LCD from any other company for half the price. You just got baited by Samsung's marketing trap.

@@pixels_per_inch No, I bought Samsung because they're a premium brand. I've already replaced it with a C2 now anyway.

Well, the energy must come from somewhere, they need the backlighting to emit their own light. Quantum dots themselves are very difficult to excite with electricity alone, that's why thy use them incombination with light.

Thanks for the answers, guys. I'm glad to know that there will be quantum dot based OLED.

I've seen a quantum dot OLED Samsung tv in store here.
