Samsung looks to be shutting down both LCD Plants in South Korea and switching everything over to large OLED. Will switch all LCD panel production to China. Finally, this is great news. Cant wait to see what Samsung brings to the table.

Haven't seen this posted in the forum. I mentioned it in OLED Advancements thread, but that thread seems to get little traffic. Mods please delete if thread already started.

Great news, curious if they will use RGB OLED instead of WOLED. The quantum dot is interesting, also curious about the brightness it can deliver and the support of Dolby Vision (it’s about time they do).

How will they face the press with a straight face after mudslinging oled and LG saying oled is sure to burn in and their qled does 100% colour volume compared to LG oled?

It does not look like they will resume rgb oled , which they have done one tv model in 2013, they use rgb oled in the phone panels they produce, I would have liked rgb oled on TV overcoming the faults they had, but that's not what they are doing. It will be Quantum Dot + Blue OLED technology. We will see if some shortcomings of LG WOLED can be overcome when they launch around 2022, but I'm not too positive.

I can tell you what the great Samsung will bring, really, really expensive OLED displays. They'll be 2 times more expensive for the same or worse performance as LG but hey that's what Samsung does.

Seeing how expensive the high end qled models are for what they offer, I don't doubt that with QD -Blue Oled they will rape customers wallets for the first few years until they bring prices down or are forced to bring prices down by the ever decreasing prices of LG WOLED. It will also depend on how good or bad the technology and picture quality stacks up against WOLED

My only question is: Can Samsung manufacture tint/banding free Oleds? (probably not)

But if the answer is yes, Samsung will have a new customer...

 

[Hetfieldjames]

How much over saturation will Samsung employ on their OLED displays as they do on LCD? Yeah I'm just not a fan of Samsung in any capacity. Oh hey are they gonna finally include Dolby Vision? I mean but a 7,000 dollar Samsung LCD and not even get Dolby Vision, now that is a joke.

 

[Gerry1975]

^ If I had to take a stock market bet on it, my money would be on no. And if banding or tinting is tamed, there are various other uniformity issues it can have , it'll have its own set of 'diseases'. Scamsung is the least trustworthy TV company in the world.

Looks like there is some guessing going on in the original report.

"The move, they said, appears to be a part of the so-called ‘C Project,’ involving a gradual shift towards large-sized TV OLED panels.

"appears to be" ...based on rumors that have been circulating around for awhile now...add line closings = Oled ?

Maybe...maybe not.

Could be a good guess, but you all know the old saying..."Don't count your chickens till they hatch".

Definitely a lot of assumptions being made here. Both Samsung and LG are scaling back Korean LCD panel production because they can get panels cheaper from China. That doesn't automatically mean they are scaling back LCD TV production (using 3rd party panels) or switching to OLED. I'll wait for some official announcements before dancing on LCD's grave.

So I’m in the Market for a New TV guess OLED is the way of the future for high end 4K and 8K

Samsung going OLED
LG OLED
Sony OLED also Dual Layer LCD
Panasonic OLED
TCL Mini LEDs
Hisense Dual Layer LCD
Vizio whomp womp low end LCD

Well that is true, what is Vizio going to do? They have anything up their sleeve?

Same here. I don’t really get all the Samsung hate (other than reading all the comments here), but I’m hopeful things will get better with competition.

They will sell OLEDs within a few years.

 

[Hetfieldjames]

Hmm, interesting. That's kinda what I might have thought but they haven't said anything like that. I wonder what Vizio is up to.

There was news a while back that they wanted to buy OLED panels from LG but had to wait because LG had not enough supply.

 

[imagic]

This notion of Samsung fully embracing OLED over LCD all strikes me as being quite speculative, to say the least.

 

[imagic]

They will sell OLEDs within a few years.

Edit - My bad I lost track, thought this was re: Samsung.

Maybe it'll be TVs that use OLED as a backlight, as a sort of super-FALD QD-OLED. And even that would be a surprise to me since micro-LED backlights have brightness and longevity advantages with that approach. But I would not hold my breath for an RGB or RGBW emissive OLED to come from Samsung, *IMO*. I'm open to being wrong!

You are thinking Samsung, i was talking Vizio.

Oh lol, I'm not paying attention. I WAS wrong.

Sure, why not! Who knows... CES 2019 is gonna be really interesting now that the focus is fully back on quality and size with flat screens. Should at least get a hint of what's coming in 2 years.
