Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “PHOLED! What you need in a new TV!”.
Thank you to GM for sponsoring a portion of this video all right, so I’ve been reviewing TVs for over a decade. I’Ve been watching TV for much longer uh, but in that time reviewing these sets about 2 and 1. Half billion were sold worldwide and of those you got a ton of different acronyms. You got your oleds, your mini LEDs, even some cutie OLED thrown in there and a ton more and with every new TV technology that comes out. The landscape generally gets more confusing, but so far I’ve covered TV technology that like exists now or like.
I saw it it’s CES, but there’s a lot of new TV technology on the cusp of being available or just being shown quietly behind closed doors. What the next generation of TVs are going to look like, I’m going to pull back that curtain, I’m going to show you what it’s going to be. Let’S start with! What’S coming to Ola, it’s the king of TV technology, so of course it makes sense to continue to prove it, but it also might be the weirdest TV acronym to date, the next evolution of OLED will be fed, which stands for phosphorescent organic light emitting diode. Now I can’t say I’m particularly excited about saying foled uh out loud in the future TV reviews, but the tech behind it is pretty insane. It will be worth it. I love the science technology behind this stuff, but I’m not going to get too nerdy here into the physics of it of what makes LEDs difficult, ult to make blue LED, specifically mainly what you need to know is that the name of the game is Just efficiency, So current OLED diodes use fluorescent lights that aren’t very efficient. They only convert about 25 % of electrical current that run through them to light. The other 75 % is just like wasted heat phosphorescent OLED diodes convert nearly 100 %, the electrical current that run through them, making the light incredibly more efficient. So the jump in efficiency from OLED to Fed I hate, saying it uh – be greater than the jump from incandescent and fluorescent bulbs to LEDs. So fed is a really big deal. But how does all this translate to OLED TVs, uh fed, will allow OLED TVs to get insanely bright, not just by like a tin of little bit we’re talking, 300 % brighter.
That means fed TVs will be significantly brighter, while using way less power and Burnin will officially completely go away becoming something that just lives in the past. This also means that the diodes and fet TVs will degrade much slower, so your TV will last even longer and if I’ve learned anything over the years lasting longer is better, not only that but fed TVs able to come in much larger sizes. And’Ll take less power to drive the diodes, so I expect to see some wall feeling sizes become a reality. All the prices will probably be like a house, and this isn’t some like crazy future Tech. Uh current oleds are using just a tiny little taste of what fed can be, but you’re not getting a full fed experience.
That’S because blue is really hard to do now. I could get real Nerdy with technology, but the folks of veritasium did a much better job. Explain it than I ever could so, if you want to get your physics on I’ll link to that down below out of all the Technologies here, foled is the closest to becoming a thing you can actually buy, and we could see these sets as early as 2025. So when I had to CES this coming year, it would not be surprising to see compan is taking their first stab at a brand new insanely bright, fed TV that they’ll probably call some insane acon all right.
Next up, we have Micro LED now. You probably think that this is just an evolution of mini LED. Just you know smaller, but Micro LED is actually an evolution of Ola technology. I told you these acronyms are very confusing now this isn’t like future Tech.
This exists today. It is just insanely, expensive, uh average cost in these displays over $ 100,000 and Samsung will happily sell you. A 146 in micro LED 4K TV called the wall for almost a quar of a million dollar. So currently, companies like Samsung, Sony and LG are primarily using these displays for, like Ultra Premium signage and Commercial applications, so for context. Currently, micro LED panels are manufactured between 10.1 and 14 14.6 in and cost anywhere from $ 5,000 to $ 10,000 to make each panel, and those panels are then laid like tiles next to each other to create a larger grid to create kind of a seamless looking Display it can go to 100 plus Ines, so you quickly see why those 100,000 price tags come very fast and while the tech is here now, the price probably won’t come down to Consumer levels, for I would imagine five on the long end to 10 years, but When that price does come down to normal human levels way, you think about TVs in your home could be very different.
Your TV is not going to come in a giant box as like one huge panel anymore. Your panel will come in stacks of kind of like iPad size screens you’ll, attach to a much larger frame uh effectively, T don’t necessarily have to have size limits anymore. As long as you can afford it, you just buy more panels and you can get the TV as big as you want and just keep adding to your existing grid.
Now it’s not likely the TV manufacturers will sell them to individual panels like that, but it’s technically possible. Giv me how the technology works, so, in addition to just a huge increase in size capabilities, the brightness of these sets will have a gigantic increase over TVs that you can get now. Typically, what’s considered a bright Ola display is around like 2000ish knits and that’s plenty bright enough to put a TV in a bright room filled with a ton of light not have to worry about the picture.
Looking dim or washed out, research Labs have able to produce micro, LED brightness levels of 2.8 million nits, so you know obviously a lot brighter and granted these levels are like isolated, R, .
