True RGB OLED Monitor - TCL Inkjet 4K (CES 2025)
Alright, so text, it's a mess, but this is where TCL's new inkjet printed OLEDs come in. Inkjet printing differs from regular OLEDs as it uses a different maskless process to create the OLEDs, which in theory allegedly can lead to less waste of materials and higher yields allowing for lower prices in theory. And TCL has been working on this tech for many years, but based on this year's specs, it looks like they may have finally hit a breakthrough and next year I was told by a TCL rep it would be much better again. But what TCL showed off this year is already impressive as they have a 27" 4K 120Hz true RGB as in red, green, blue sub pixels in a straight line for the highest clarity possible with a glossy finish and huge improvements to brightness. In previous years, if I recall correctly, most panels like this had a full screen brightness of just 150 nits, but this year TCL has bumped it up to 250 nits full screen apparently and 600 nits peak, which funnily enough may actually already be on par or better than QD OLED monitor brightness as their peak 1000 modes are severely limited in brightness. If TCL is able to improve the brightness significantly again,(...) we may be looking at closer to 300 nits full screen and 800 or even 1000 nits peak by next year, which would likely be enough for TCL to finally start shipping these displays as long as they are satisfied with its resilience to burn it as I was told they're still working on it.

"AL-LEG-ED-LY" was a deep cut brother

The coating last year looked better it was proper glossy this looks more like semi matte.

[TheLazyGamers]

Aren’t these essentially the panels from the defunct JOLED company? Glad to see the product finally made it to market.

[weirdodude]

Better brightness and lower price sounds awesome. Thumbs up!

[plasmatvforgaming]

Where is the 8k IJP RGB OLED Glassless 3D displays TCL announced like a year ago?

[appa_irl]

I dont even think about it for gaming. This would be a dream for content browsing and content creating.

Finally TCL CSOT now making OLED panels. Instead of LED and Mini LED panels

True RGB subpixel layout

Video about the Sponsor with some details about the topic - noice!

0:43 nice oily-grainy effect on a matte oled. who asked for this?buaaaa.

[verebellus]

it looks more like what i imagined OLED looking like before, an IPS looking panel with true blacks

[RobloxianX]

This looks awesome. The final thing that has been preventing me from moving to OLED has been that subpixel. Now, it looks like I'll finally move over when these hit the market

[DerNetteFette]

Is that the same one they had at CES 2023?

[Wistbacka]

Now we are getting the proper OLEDs! And a general purpose 120 hz refreshrate. No ridiculous 240-480 hz monstrosities that requires a super computer to run.

All I am wondering: will it come in 32", and will it be available in Europe too? TCL is generally only available in USA afaik

[Intelligenz_Bestie]

250/600 nits is on par with cheap non-miniLED LCD panels, depending on how cost efficient this manufacturing process really is we might see entry level oled monitors in the $150-$600 range

[jtake]

When are they expected to hit market? Wonder if the 27" gaming MNT monitor will feature things like Dolby Vision?

[pureanthracite]

You must correct at the beginning that actually LG and Asus sell OLED monitors intended for productivity and editing with RGB sub pixel layouts because they use panels from J OLED not W-OLEDs from LG Display or QD-OLEDs from Samsung Display.

[Avruthlelbh]

My question is, in the event that QDEL ever actually gets off the ground, how would an RGB backlight compare?

[Yoga_Tv_buying]

Wooo this is promissing. Maybe they can make some glossy ones …!

[Tigerex]

How is LG G5 and Panasonic text RGB olde layered
