LG Display developing over 20% brighter new MLA-OLED panel technology in time for 2025 release

[Redaktion]

According to various sources, LG Display is already in a position to show off its next-generation MLA-OLED panel technology. Due to be arriving next year, presumably during CES 2025 in Las Vegas, the new panels are said to be over 20% brighter than those that underpin the LG OLED G4 that will begin shipping this year.

I remember being blown away by my OLED CX when I first got it in preparation for PS5 and Xbox Series X, it's still doing well despite some burn in. My plan is to replace it by a G model at some point and here's hoping that tandem OLED is used as I heard it can prevent burn in which is my only problem with OLED technology along with peak brightness which I believe is now addressed. Thanks for the article.

This whole nit thing is way misunderstood by many. First of all these figures might only be true if the displayed patch of white is not bigger than 3% of the whole screen area, and second: the white balance is way off, because they always mention these panel native brightness figures at panel native white balance figures which is around 10-11.000 K so in other words, blue like the sky. Calibrated to d65 white point these figures can be halved. Displaying around 20% area, and bang we lose another 25% at least. So in practice, in real life, with real content the LG G3 reached around 1450 nits, the G4 could do maybe a little over 1500, and the G5 wont do any more than 1600-1700 nits. But what nobody mentions is the sad but true fact of lacking real color volume. QD-OLEDS beat MLA WOLEDS hands down because they produce 2-5x the color volume. An LG can flash 1700 nit soon but to what vail? Only to desaturate every color with the white subpixel, because native brightness of the primary colors are really really shameful. So the brighter the color the more desaturated it gets, hence the color palette gets faded more and more year by year. LG should be working on this problem because Samsung will overtake them really soon when it comes to sales. Only a blind does not see the night and day difference between a MLA WOLED and a QDOLED - and as movies are getting more and more into the rec2020 color space, leaving P3 behind the difference will be even more obvious.
