LG OLED Ace: 100% Dimming Consistency Certified
28 Feb
Summary
- LG OLED panels achieve 100% dimming consistency certification from UL Solutions.
- OLED technology demonstrates superior dimming consistency over LCD and mini-LED.
- Questions arise about test methodology, competition, and AI relevance.
LG Display's OLED panels for televisions and monitors have reportedly achieved an industry-first certification for '100% dimming consistency' from UL Solutions. This metric evaluates how consistent brightness levels remain across different measurement areas of the screen. The certification indicates that LG's OLED technology significantly surpasses traditional LCD panels, which reportedly scored a maximum of 83% and as low as 43% in the same test.
While LG Display claims OLED's performance exceeds even next-generation RGB mini-LED and positions it as ideal for the AI era, questions have been raised about the test's methodology and scope. The specific panels tested, their sizes, and the comparative brands were not disclosed, leaving room for debate about a true like-for-like comparison.
Furthermore, the absence of competing self-emissive technologies like Samsung's QD-OLED and micro-LED from the certification process has fueled speculation. Critics suggest the test may have been designed to favor LG's OLED technology, given its inherent advantages in dimming consistency due to self-emissive pixels compared to backlit displays.
LG's assertion that OLED is the 'optimal display for connecting humans and AI' due to its visual performance has also drawn bemusement, with the author questioning the direct relevance of dimming consistency to AI interactions beyond text display. Despite these critiques, the certification reinforces the widely acknowledged contrast consistency benefits of OLED technology.
