Sony had many products on display at their booth, but each time I stopped by to take a look I got lost in the beautiful 4K displays. Which was OK in my book for two reasons: 4K is gorgeous, anyone who doesn’t get it is blind or wants to have a small TV and second Sony’s booth was all about […]

There was only one display in a pitch black room at CES. That it was lined up against a VT50, arguably 2012’s best TV, and making it look [literally] washed out in comparison speaks volumes about the beautiful beast of a plasma Panasonic is bringing out later this year. If I had to pick one thing that most impressed, and […]

If you follow displays, you already know that there were myriad UHD and OLED TVs at CES 2013. LG had both, but they had one over on all the other OEMs because they are the only ones that can claim to be shipping 1080p OLED displays. Now they haven’t made there way over here yet (should be in March sometime), […]

There were OLED displays of many sizes, shapes and resolutions at many vendors booths with Samsung boasting some beautiful 4K UHD. Full breakdown after the click.

Samsung and LG both made a splash at CES 2012 with 55″ OLED TVs that they planned on bringing to market by the end of this year.

Evidently the two companies have been squabbling over engineers and run into production issues that […]

Our own Andrew van Til recently scoffed at the notion of debating the merits of OLED vs 4K TVs and trying to decide which one is more worthy of holding out for. It would appear that the folks at IHS iSuppli Research would probably agree. IHS is predicting that 4K TVs will represent an exceedingly small part of the market […]

I get that these sorts of posts are mostly about generating clicks via false dichotomy, but I don’t understand the basis of pitting a display technology against a resolution. These concepts are in no way mutually exclusive – we can, and probably will have 4K OLED HDTVs before long. Of course both of these technologies are currently relegated to the […]

Last week Samsung let slip that it was considering different ways to restructure is LCD division. Despite selling more flat-panel TVs than any other company in the world last year, their display business was responsible for more than $800M in losses, mostly due to price weakness in the LCD market. The LCD division will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Samsung […]

Samsung’s much anticipated 55″ OLED TV will be washing up on U.K. shores in the not too distant future and though the price tag is expected to be out of reach for most consumers, it would seem that Samsung has high hopes for the future of OLED. Samsung is reportedly considering moving away from LCD production and focusing their efforts […]

Samsung was showing off a 55″ OLED TV at CES this year. At the time, Samsung was not giving any release dates, but they were aiming for the second half of the year. Well, Samsung still isn’t giving a date, but evidently folks in the UK are going to be getting Samsung’s OLED beauty this spring. Samsung also isn’t giving […]
