Rumors are circulating about the supposed decline of OLED technology, suggesting it will soon be supplanted by RGB mini-LED displays. Caleb Denison of CalebRated addresses these concerns, asserting that OLED will remain relevant.

“For now, nothing else can do the per-pixel lighting thing.”

This perspective arises from the perception that OLED manufacturing is complex and costly, especially as the trend leans toward larger screens. The price of oversized OLED displays, exceeding 85 inches, has become notably high.

Many believe that the brighter performance of LCDs with LED backlighting offers a more appealing alternative. However, Caleb vehemently refutes this narrative, arguing that while bigger screens are gaining traction, there’s a practical limit, especially outside the US, where space is often limited.

The OLED technology provides critical features that cannot be replicated: per-pixel lighting, yielding superior contrast and response times compared to traditional LCD panels.

Despite the push for mini-LED technologies, significant investments in OLED by manufacturers like Samsung and LG suggest that this technology is not falling out of favor anytime soon. Moreover, the advancements in OLED brightness and handling burn-in concerns further secure its place in the display technology race.

Caleb concludes that while the future may hold new contenders like microLEDs, OLED’s current advantages are irrefutable, ensuring it remains a preferred choice for consumers.
