What is OLED?

OLED is emerging television tech that's used in the best-looking TVs we've seen to date. We explain how OLED differs from regular TVs, and what you need to know.

Now I know what that new switch is all about

Move on to 2020, it's everywhere and cheap. Love looking back at old vids like this. It just emphasises the leaps we make in such a short time.

OLED is also used in pretty much all VR headsets, which is why the picture quality looks amazing in VR games. OLED also allows for higher refresh rates at higher quality, which makes videos and games seem incredibly smooth.

Lol, we now putting this in our phones

[taylorsimpson]

I love the information here. Studying for my CompTIA A+. I was also amused at this video being as old as it is. We have this now as common in all devices for the most part.

[brightonfreshman]

well explained.
short, but no time wasted. keep up the good work.

[cgme]

That’s easily the coolest technology ever

1:28 Lol, the right one really seemed better quality than the left, I almost saw it like an 8K commercial.

Watching to learn about the tech in the Switch OLED

What kinds of organic materials are used in OLED TVs?

[joepeters]

5 years fast forward and I have my LG C9 for 1070 Euros

[NamelessToast]

I mean it’s going more mainstream now but with burn in as an issue I don’t know if I am willing to switch to Oled.

[kattamaran]

Should have added that one color starts earlier decaying. Thats why no other manufac. Picks it up. And lg has a patent on its white pixels

[GregoryKuyckx]

So actually, LG still uses a backlight, actually a full-array backlight.
But this time behind every subpixel. Philips did this ages ago.
When Samsung launches a OLED display, it will really take off.

2 years later: look my iPhone X has an OLED display I don’t even know what OLED is but it sounds cool

[Roarrior.]

I'm playing on my Oled switch right now.

[phoenixstudios]

Plasma could shut off individual pixels....

[aster]

After switching from iphone 6s to One plus 7 I don’t think I can shift to any other phone without Oled screens

Watching this in the future on my Sony A95L

Beats an LED hands down, but different sources need different settings. That’s ok, it’s worth the trouble to get near photo realistic images. And now, in 2018, the price has come down.
