Samsung QD Display combines OLED and quantum dots
Speaker 1: The best TVs you can buy today, use organic light IMIT dial technology and all of those big O led TV panels, including the 65 inch. LGC one right here are made by LG display. That's gonna change soon. However,
Speaker 1: Samsung display has a new take on big screen O led to promise even better image quality, and it'll be available soon on TVs and computer monitors. Here's what we know so far. Samsung display is calling its version of OED QD display, [00:00:30] where the QD stands for quantum dots in a recent presentation in San Jose, the company showed off the tech and compared it to a current OED TV side by side note that I haven't seen it in person myself yet. My colleagues at CNET got an eye fold during this comparison, both versions of Ola deliver excellent contrast with basically perfect black levels and bright highlights that show up the best HDR material without the blooming or stray illumination that plagues non Ole TVs based on LCD. But Samsung is claiming the QD display can get even brighter than today's Ola. About 200 [00:01:00] NS over 25% it with a standard window and nearly twice as bright in highlights.
Speaker 1: That difference could make the awesome contrast OLET is known for look even more impactful. The new QD display based O TVs also promised better color. Thanks primarily to those quantum dots. The current version of Ole made by LG display uses w O L E D, which relies on color filters to create the, the red, green, and blue that lead to all other colors, QD display doesn't use color filters. Instead it's base layer of Olas is blue [00:01:30] and quantum dots are to create the red and green in another new twist. Quantum dots are printed directly onto each pixel. Manufacturing methods. Samsung display says can eventually lead to cost savings. Samsung also claims it can achieve why color gamut in improve color volume compared to w O L E D, which shero has more vivid, saturated colors, particularly in bright areas. It also claims that QD display has a wider viewing angle.
Speaker 1: So it looks better from the sides. How much better is a good question. Current Ola TVs like this LGC one are very [00:02:00] bright already and have excellent viewing angles in color. So I'm interested to see how much of a difference the new technology really makes Samsung says that still testing lifespan and things like burnout or image retention, but expects final results soon. And the QD display should be comparable to current O TVs in those areas. TVs that use QD display will go on sales soon in 55 and 65 inch sizes at 4k resolution, while a 34 inch curve PC monitor will also be available pricing wasn't revealed, but as a new Ole tech, I expect to [00:02:30] be really high at first, over the next couple years, more sizes will likely be added and prices will fall it's day one for QD display, and a lot of questions remain. But as one of the first, truly new big screen technologies to challenge current OLET TVs, it has real problem. I can't wait to check it out in person myself.
