Should You Skip OLED?
I think we can all agree LCD is garbage, and it’s even more of a treat when panel makers put a grainy plastic matte finish over the thing, and that’s why everyone is so excited about OLED technology, and for good reason since it’s better in almost every aspect except power draw and screen retention.
Yet despite how good OLED is I often see people claiming their going to “wait for micro LED”, we’ll keep waiting because your gonna look like a prop from the goodies pirate ship before you get your hands on an actual micro LED monitor, but first what is it and why is everyone losing their minds over it?
Well let’s start by going through the history of display tech quickly to understand why micro LED is such a big deal, and it all started when we lived in a utopia with a technology called CRT. Now CRT monitors were incredible because not only were they insanely fast, but the way they displayed images was unique and allowed you to change the resolution and Framerate without the issues we have today on fully digital displays, plus they looked great, but they were big and heavy, we moved to LCD, and while LCD is low power and thin, it’s just awful in every single other aspect. They look bad, they’re slow, and these days they pretty much all have an awful matte finish,
But just when we thought all hope was lost we were graced with the sweet touch of Plasma. Now plasma is much like OLED, but they had far more trouble with burn in, so high end displays quickly moved to OLED which is a near perfect technology, but because people can’t help but disable all safety features and run static images all day on their TVs there’s been a huge scare about burn in which has lead to many people looking to the holy grail of display technology.
Micro LED.
Now if you’ve been busting fat ones over OLED, just wait, because Micro LED has all of the benefits of OLED, but it eliminates the risk of burn in AND allows for much higher full screen brightness, meaning that we can finally get scenes such as a bright desert with an even brighter sun while retaining the dynamic range you would expect.
So does that sound great? Well too bad because your probably not going to be able to buy one at a reasonable size or price for a very long time.
Every year they are able to make them smaller, but right now we’re still talking about giant TVs that are made up of panels and from being at CES I can tell you, yep you can absolutely see the gaps in the panels. Not to mention everyone is being very cagey about any other info than resolution brightness on these displays, and with such slow progress towards making an actually viable screen my best guess is it will be 5-10 years before you can get a reasonably sized 77” or under 4K TV, and 10-20 years before they are available in monitor sizes.
So if using something bad for 20 years just so you can get something better is your master plan, then be my guest, but I’ll be using glossy OLED for that whole time and loving it.
