Won't these lose brightness over time as the chemical reactions die out, forcing you to buy a new tv?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Refills.

HP begins salivating.

Could you imagine a TV needing “printer ink”?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

That's that entrepreneurial spirit whenever been looking for! Straight to the top of the corporate ladder with you.

Dang, OLED TVs haven't even gotten to my price range yet! Though admittedly I could probably do a better job at looking I suppose...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

We just bought a 55" Sony OLED for a thousand bucks, and it is glorious. Been waiting for it to hit the $1k mark for many years

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow, that does sound glorious! I'm definitely looking to get an OLED TV (or at least an OLED monitor) next, I've had an OLED screen on my phone for a while now but it wasn't until I recently picked up the OLED Steam Deck that made me go "Wow this is amazing!" - now I want it everywhere haha.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Haha I know right? I bought an OLED monitor last year and it was like being born again. Games look sooo much better.

I may be a total tech dork, but I now have an OLED phone, monitor, TV and watch lmao. Oh and the steam deck too! There's no going back haha

Sounds a lot like Sharp going "please don't buy OLED panels, we don't make them!"

My 2017 LG OLED is still going strong, looks great, and when it eventually dies, I've seen the 77" model in Costco for just over £2000. For all the chatter about burn in, I've never seen any of it, and that's with heavy gaming use. Not sure I'd use one for desktop PC use, but for everything else, just get OLED.

I just bought two LG OLEDs to replace Roku TVs after the great brickening of Roku TVs earlier this year. I wish I would've done it sooner. Even a month later I look at the screen sometimes and am just blown away by how much better it looks than the QLED whatever Roku garbage I had.

Will they be available in computer monitors?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Asking the right questions. I am still waiting for 42" QD OLED monitors to become available

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

The closest thing I could get is a 32" QuadHD monitor with a VA panel. Best IT purchase I made in a long while.

So if a pixel dies you get to pay more to fix it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You fix a lot of pixels with your current monitor?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I did once with a 17in sceptre. Pixel wssnt dead but stuck dayglo green. Massaged itwith a finger tip and it cleared up. Dead ones would likely require an RMA

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

I've only ever used the jscreen fix for an old monitor that i damaged. Helped after a few hours to soften some of the discoloration. Just wondered.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

I get the distinct feeling the writer doesn't understand quantum Dots, and doesn't understand the technology behind any of the display technologies he attempts to describe.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

Come back if you have it on market.

Be careful, you'll need to keep up on vacuuming around the display, or you'll have tiny diodes scattered all the place.

Also wear safety googles while viewing. Occasionally the diodes shoot our far, especially if there's a sudden white flash on screen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

No.

Quantum diode emitting lights

From the article:

Quantum dots are already moving in the premium display category, particularly through QD-OLED TVs and monitors. The next step could be QDEL, short for "quantum dot electroluminescent," also known as NanoLED, screens.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Well, it makes sense in French where DEL means : Diodes Electro Luminescentes, which is LED in english.

Cool, so they'll be available without all the spyware, right? ... Right??

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago
[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 months ago (1 children)

No, there will be Spyware in the fucking diodes...

Sometimes when you spend too long staring into the quantum dots, the quantum dots stare back at you.
