People tend to forget bitrate when talking about image quality, and arguably it’s even more important than resolution. Even a 480p video can look great at a small screen if encoded with a good bitrate, and even a 4k video can look like shit if encoded with too low bitrate
I love OLED and can’t go back, hoping that we enter uniform OLED adoption at some point. I’d like to see them focus on lowering the price and raising the longevity of OLED displays. Doubt it on that first one though. Kind of a tangent but I also want to see what the future of e-ink displays are, especially with better colors and refresh rate.
I play Guild Wars 2, and I’m worried if I bought an OLED I would end up with the UI permanently burned in. The technology just doesn’t seem compatible with games that feature a persistent UI.
My OLED is going on 8 years now and it has no signs of burn in. I don’t watch TV with permanent station logos though, if that is something that your OLED would have to withstand
Call me batshit insane, I want them to figure out dual stack displays.
OLED for watching, E-Ink for showing art when the TV is off like Samsung’s ‘Frame TV’, but lower in power consumption and more life-like, both in the same TV set.
OLED and 4k is where it’s at.
Hell, OLED and high bitrate 1080 is probably good enough for me for the rest of my life.
Shitrate 4k and 1080p are all you get on streaming platforms. Hard to get good quality bitrates outside of I guess bluray and piracy.
I feel like that was implied in my comment ;-)
And piracy gets them from Bluray.
Now that that’s dying I’m afraid we’re gonna be stuck with streaming bitrates.
I guess we should buy more Blu-rays. But I don’t have a good space to library all of them… wait a sec… I have an idea…
If you don’t use an “approved” browser Netflix reduces the stream to 320p. God awful service. Screw streaming.

I’d be surprised if the average person can differentiate 720p and 4k
I legitimately cannot tell the difference between 1080 and 4k, however I do wear glasses.
But 720 feels like garbage to me.
Wasn’t speaking about you.
Depends on the screen size and distance.
At a typical screen size and distance
I mean that’s vague.
I’d say it depends on the content too. On a computer monitor at typical size/distance? Yeah probably. Small text will look much much better.
I don’t think so. Average TV size: 40-50"? Average distance: 6 feet?
To be fair, recall how microscopic TVs used to be not so long ago.
Yeah but I’m not talking about not so long ago, I’m talking about now

I’ve steered away from OLED thus far due to concerns about burn-in. It just isn’t something I want to have to deal with.
It’s bad enough that I need to worry about write cycles on SSDs, but the advantage over HDDs is so overwhelming that I deal with it.
Longevity is a very important criteria for me, as I tend to upgrade infrequently and buy near top of the line for its time.
Mini LED is the way to go for longevity imo.
