Quote:OLED seems like plasma 2.0 to me. Destined to failure.
That is a game of prediction, and I won't say you are wrong but I will certainly say I hope you are. Plasma had that gawdawful strobing that induced nausea in those that could see it(although, like older DLPs and their rainbow issues, most people couldn't). That said, BetaMax was flat out superior and lost. The thing is, OLED's advantage over LCD is *MUCH* larger- the difference is a two by four to the eyes.
True story. I was in the market for a new tablet, I start walking around and I see a display that was clearly set up to be prime real estate with two tablets side by side. One of them had an utterly gorgeous screen- best I have ever seen, and it was sitting next to what looked like a cheap ass Chinese Android tablet with a sub Wal Mart display. Now that iPad was supposed to have a pretty good screen for LCDs- it was a joke, comical. I walked out of the store with a $400 tablet build by a manufacturer I don't like, using a garbage SoC that is an embarrassment to high end portables, loaded with bloat ware and a garbage rom that I would have to replace all for one simple reason. The, hands down, best screen I have ever seen.
That was over a year ago. Have not regretted or lamented that purchase once. My buddy just bought a new $1300 camera, he called me up as soon as he got it and told me he wants to use my tablet to see how good the thing really looks(no joke).
I tried working out how I could output my PC directly to my tablet and I would use that over the 27" 144Hz display I have now. No joke. It is *THAT* big of a difference.

Uhm..... Samsung is the largest manufacturer of OLED screens- it really isn't even close....?
Quote:From what I have read it has a great picture however OLED screens can't get as bright as LEDs and they still don't look as good in a bright room.
First part is correct, second part is quite frankly laughable. Peak nits on a LCD will be higher when talking max vs max for the technology- under direct sunlight I would give you- in a bright room?

Not saying LCDs can't go brighter, all you have to do is use flood lights for a backlight and they will win- but that is an OLED screen flat out beating comparable LCD screens on brightness(it's in the numbers box, third one when you click next). Would you say the iPad is hard to use in a bright room? Because that is an OLED that is over 20% brighter.
Quote:Also, it's certainly not worth the price premium over LED. At least not yet.
Oh, in an instant if they made a PC monitor, I have no issue with the price, I just need one without TV post processing that LG is putting into all of their current sets(grrrrrrrr).

I'm not sure where you got this impression, Samsung has sold more OLEDS, I believe, then *everyone* else combined? My numbers may be a bit off, but we are talking about hundreds of millions. Yes, they are almost all small displays, but they are certainly within striking distance to monitors as are LG, although they have to go the other way.
