LCD's Comeback: RGB Mini-LED Redefines Screens
7 Feb
Summary
- RGB mini-LED tech offers higher brightness and better color than traditional LCDs.
- This new display technology aims to overcome OLED's halo effect and LCD's color issues.
- RGB mini-LED TVs are anticipated to become more affordable than comparable OLEDs.
After years of favoring OLED displays, an AV enthusiast is now captivated by RGB mini-LED technology, a significant evolution of traditional LCD screens. This innovative display approach utilizes red, green, and blue elements in every backlight LED, enhancing color accuracy and efficiency while reducing the need for extensive color filtering.
The technology addresses key weaknesses of both LCD and OLED. RGB mini-LED aims to surpass OLED in brightness and potentially offer greater color depth, mitigating issues like color banding that affect current OLED panels. It also targets the 'halo effect' common in older LCDs, where light bleeds from bright to dark areas, by providing more precise backlight control.
While initial large-scale RGB mini-LED sets, like Samsung's 115-inch model, are expensive, a projected price drop in the coming years is expected. This makes them a more attractive option for consumers anticipating the need for smaller, more affordable, yet high-performance televisions, potentially offering enhanced energy efficiency as well.
