Samsung’s 75-inch MicroLED 4K TV is a huge step into the future

It uses the same MicroLED foundation as The Wall, combining “individual tiles of self-emissive MicroLEDs, featuring millions of inorganic red, green and blue microscopic LED chips that emit their own bright light to produce brilliant colors on screen.” There’s no backlight required, so MicroLED displays can be incredibly thin.
But the bigger appeal of MicroLED is picture quality that should rival or beat OLED without any of the pitfalls of using an organic compound; that’s what the O in OLED stands for, after all. In theory, MicroLED should deliver perfect blacks (all of the microscopic LEDs can be turned off individually), best-in-class brightness, and an incredibly wide HDR color palette — without burn-in and hopefully with a significantly longer lifespan than OLED panels, since there’s no natural degradation to worry about.

so OLED is dead? 
i can't keep up with the latest LED technology.

They had a Micro-LED display at CES with a special demo film on it that a number of tech reviewers said the flashlight scene was just as bright as a real flashlight.
That would be amazing if filmmakers could incorporate it into their movies. You could get the real feel of a driver blinded by headlights, or a guy being interrogated under bright lights, or a pilot flying towards the sun, etc. I could see it opening up a real extra dimension for the movie experience.

Nah not yet at least, MicroLED is still a few years away and crazy expensive to make.
If they can get it down to reasonable costs or near OLED prices, then yeah no contest.

Dem seams, doh.

Not visible from viewing distances. And that's if the modular prototypes ever make it to market unlike the TV's.
But they're saying 10's of thousands even for the 75" TV at launch so...

Pricing and potential consumer availability for the 75-inch set are still unknowns; at CES 2018, Samsung predicted it would be two or three years before a consumer MicroLED would be viable, but the company is likely trying to push that timeline forward as fast as it can. But we’re looking at tens of thousands of dollars for these things, if not over $100,000 for that 219-inch monster.

I’ve already ordered a handful of those for my maids
I’ll let you know what they think of them

i remember hearing the same thing about OLED 5 years ago. it wasn't feasible for anything larger than a phone screen.

Yeah but this is totally different, from manufacturing alone.
OLED will be like a Plasma in a few years. Tried to tell people.

And then there's the cost. Instead of a handful, or maybe a few dozen, yellow-blue "white" LEDs like you get on a normal TV, you have 8.3 million LEDs, one for each pixel on a 4K 3,840x2,160 display. Actually, it's way worse than that, since you need red, green and blue LEDs. So that means there's nearly 25 million total LEDs, more than 8 million for each of the primary colors. Each RGB trio is packaged as one pixel. Thousands of these are then grouped in modules, and multiple modules make up a TV, wall or movie screen.
Getting the gap between the pixels, or the "pitch size," down is another huge challenge, since the circuitry and other necessary elements can only get so small. If the pitch size can't shrink, there's a limit to how small a MicroLED TV a company can make.

The Bloomberg article likewise says Apple's mobile MicroLED displays won't arrive for "a few years." So even if Apple has created a breakthrough in this space, it's not something you'll be seeing on the 2018 iPhone -- or even the one after it. MicroLED is future tech, for sure, but it'd be fair to say "near-future." The biggest companies in technology hardware are moving forward with the idea.

I'd still take a plasma over LED if talking 1080p set picture quality. The last generations were spectacular and relatively energy efficient.

frick that.
these are the only LEDs i need

I’ve said it here before that modular displays are the future.
Yeah, they still got to pimp 8K before this becomes common place in homes.

The Samsung display at Best Buy blows me away, like those guys in the commercials that can’t/don’t blink.
Then I go home and watch my 8 year old LCD and don’t think about it again.
For me, we have reached diminishing returns.

Nahh..my OLED is amazing compared to my old LED.
This new tech will be too.

OLED was dead from the start with the burn in and natural degradation.

So "MicroLED" is OLED without the O.
It's an LED TV without it being a misnomer.
I always hated that LED-backlit TVs were called "LED TVs." Now that real LED TVs are on the horizon, we don't want to confuse people so they have to be called "MicroLED," which is inconsistent with the similar-concept OLED terminology. Not that it needs to be consistent, but it's still annoying.

There are a lot of people that won't buy them because of the potential for burn in.

I'm sure most have a built in screen saver. Mine does.
