    LG Display is adding a 111-inch OLED module line in Guangzhou, and module is the key word

    The 111-inch figure is what everyone is quoting, but read the wording: these are module assembly lines. Guangzhou Development Zone Holdings and LG Display are putting RMB 1 billion into LG Display's Guangzhou plant to add lines for 77, 83, 97 and 111-inch OLED, and TrendForce calls the 111-inch...

    Sony's first OLED with four HDMI 2.1 ports is the entry model, not the flagship

    Four HDMI 2.1 inputs on a Sony OLED. That is the part of the Bravia 6 announcement I keep coming back to, because we have been asking for it for years while LG shipped four on sets costing less and Sony kept shipping two. It finally arrives on the cheapest OLED in the range, which tells you the...

    Mostly YouTube, Netflix and sports - is OLED still the upgrade you feel?

    Someone over on r/4kTV asked a version of this that I think gets answered badly most of the time. Their watching is mostly YouTube, Netflix, sports and the occasional film. Gaming happens but is not the point. They came from a normal LED set and want to know whether the jump to OLED is something...

    LG's Creator Original lets Prime Video set your shadow detail and motion

    Read the parameter list on this one twice before deciding how you feel about it. LG's new Creator Original picture mode hands a studio control over shadow detail, colour balance, noise reduction and motion handling. It arrives by firmware on the 2026 OLED evo W6, G6 and C6, with Prime Video as...

    Pricing was a three-way tie in these brand grades, and that is the useful part

    Six brands got graded across pricing, design, features, performance and software, and the pricing category ended in a three-way tie between Hisense, TCL and Vizio. Design went jointly to Samsung and Sony. Features went to LG outright, on the argument that its top sets are the most...

    Philips put META 4.0 Tandem in the 65OLED+ 951 and claims 4,500-nit peaks

    My OLED does not get anywhere near four figures on a 10 percent window and I have never once sat in a dark room thinking it was too dim. So a claimed 4,500-nit peak on the 65OLED+ 951 is either a real generational jump or a very generous measurement. META 4.0 Tandem is the stacking approach...

    A 13-inch OLED in economy, and the panel was never the hard part of in-flight video

    Panasonic has quietly put a better panel in the back of an economy seat than a fair number of people have in their spare bedroom. The Astrova displays on United's A321XLR are 4K OLED across the cabin - 13 inches in economy, 16 in Premium Plus, 19 up front in Polaris. Given that seatback screens...

    LG Display's FLiPP numbers are real, but read the last line first

    Before anyone starts pricing a 2028 OLED off this announcement, note where LG Display says FLiPP is going first: IT products. Laptops and monitors. Not TVs, not yet, and they were fairly plain about the order. The technology itself is genuinely interesting. FLiPP stands for FMM-Less innovative...

    Screen size, not the acronym, decides OLED or LCD for most rooms

    The most useful line in the current crop of TV tech explainers has nothing to do with panel physics. There are two kinds of television: OLED, where each pixel makes its own light, and LCD, where a panel filters light from a backlight. Everything else on the shop floor - QLED, mini LED, QD-OLED...

    OLED stops at 97 inches and LCD does not - that is a glass problem

    Every few weeks somebody in here asks why there is no 100-inch OLED at a sane price, and the answer has almost nothing to do with what people want to buy. It is motherglass. The raw substrate for LCD panels can be cut much bigger and much cheaper than the equivalent for OLED, which is why LCD...

    OLED, mini LED, RGB backlight: what you actually notice in your own room

    Strip the acronyms back and there are only two kinds of television being sold. OLED is emissive, meaning every pixel makes its own light, the way plasma and CRT did. Everything else - QLED, mini LED, RGB backlit, whatever the badge says this season - is an LCD panel with a backlight behind it...

    83-inch OLED or 98-inch mini-LED for a fully dark basement at $3,000

    This one came up on the home theater sub and it's a genuinely close call. First proper TV, moving up from a Vizio P65Q9-H1, going into a basement with no outside light at all, mostly 4K films plus Halo Infinite and GTA, seating distance flexible, around $3,000 including tax. The tape on the wall...

    Tear-like marks at the top of an HZ2000 after a panel refresh cycle

    An owner over on AVForums has noticed markings across the top of his HZ2000 that he describes as looking like a torn paper edge. He first spotted them after the set ran one of its long panel maintenance routines, the kind that fires roughly every 1000 hours, and he reckons they've spread over...

    A Bravia 8 II update broke external audio and there's still no fix

    Tom Parsons at What Hi-Fi wrote this up on 15 August and it's a familiar kind of misery. His Bravia 8 II OLED took a firmware update and now anything played through an external source, an Apple TV 4K or a Sky Stream puck, drops audio when routed to his external sound system. The TV's own apps...

    Marks at the top of an HZ2000 that showed up after a panel maintenance run

    Someone posted this on AVForums and it is the kind of thing worth reading before you panic about your own set. He noticed odd markings across the top of his HZ2000, described as looking like a tear pattern, as if a sheet of paper had been ripped in two. He only spotted them after the set ran one...

    Brightness vs coating: is the LG G5 the right fix for a sunny room?

    Every time someone asks what to do about a bright living room, the answer that comes back is buy something brighter, and the LG G5 is the current poster child for that argument. The panel is the Primary RGB Tandem stack, four OLED layers rather than the usual arrangement, and by What Hi-Fi's...

    Sony's own page put a Bravia 6 OLED up early, and 83 inches is confirmed

    Someone spotted a Bravia 6 product page live on Sony's own site and posted the link before it vanishes again. The only thing it actually nails down is that there is an 83 inch model in the line. No pricing, no launch window anyone has quoted, and nothing about panel or processing that I would...

    Early flat TVs were worse than the CRTs they replaced and we bought them anyway

    What Hi-Fi turns 50 this year and ran a piece with some of its long-serving reviewers on what actually changed. John Archer's section is the one worth reading, and there is an admission in it that we have all quietly agreed to forget. The early flat sets of the late 1990s were worse than the...

    Optical out on a BRAVIA 8 II sounding worse than the old Sony it replaced

    Someone over on AVForums has a BRAVIA 8 II feeding a stereo rig over TOSLINK and reckons it sounds worse than the eighteen-year-old Sony LCD it replaced. Chain is TV, optical, DAC, Cyrus 8vs2, PMC DB1s. He has already ruled the DAC out by trying an Arcam irDAC and a Cambridge DacMagic 200M and...

    Two 65in OLEDs on a GBP 4.5k budget - one of these rooms is the wrong room

    Someone over on AVForums has just started an extension and is planning two 65in sets: one wall-mounted in a 6m x 9m open plan kitchen and living space, and a second in the old kitchen once it is stripped out, a 12ft x 12ft room that becomes a dedicated cinema. Same model in both, the LG...
