House: "LCD panel can now realise an image quality as high as that of the OLED"

The five-inch LCD panel at the centre of the new PlayStation Vita will match the quality of the OLED display found in older models, a Sony exec has claimed.

"The main reason is that the LCD panel can now realise an image quality as high as that of the OLED panel," House told the gathering of journalists.

lock if old

 

[dark_prinny]

Ok Sony.

 

[Courage]

Link House those screens. He's delusional if he hasn't seen the huge difference between them.

 

[Impeccable]

Sony pls.

 

[boinx]

Don't bullshit me

 

[toastyToast]

If they were confident of the quality they would have done a side by side comparison themselves

 

[Rootbeer]

In-store photos beg to differ... but I hope the difference isn't that major. There will come a day where I may need to replace my launch day vita, and I may have to settle for a newer model

 

[dmr87]

Ok

 

[madmackem]

We need to wait till we see real angle shots, i dont know what he is expected to say though.

 

[Daedardus]

An LCD can be a good screen if it's a good LCD. Look at iPhone and HTC One.

 

[Prince Vultan]

Bullshit.

LCD = Lame Crippling Downgrade.

 

[Caronte]

Well, he's not going to say that the new model is worse. That would be stupid.

 

[Maedhros]

It's good enough for me in smartphones, it'll be good enough for me if I ever get one of these.

 

[timepiece]

Cool story bro

 

[synce]

I don't care about the quality as long as I don't have to worry about burn-in. There's three reasons I never bought Vita:

1. Fear of burn-in
2. It's stupidly big
3. Too expensive w/card

All 3 concerns are finally taken care of

 

[Celestial Mortal]

Okay Sony.

So why is Sony claiming that OLED TVs are the future then?

 

[WrenchNinja]

But it totally is. You can't spin this shit.

 

[stryke]

No more mura right guys?? Right???

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Lol. Come on Sony, people are not blind.

 

[88random]

LCD isn't that bad... But yeah, I'm going to buy an original Vita.

 

[MRORANGE]

[polyh3dron]

full of shit, sony is.

but it's even bigger now?

 

[watershed]

How long has the original Vita been out now that Sony's much hyped OLED can now be matched by LCD? Just be honest and call it a money saving change.

 

[heringer]

A good LCD screen is fine. Plus no burn in or that nasty MURA effect (black stains).

 

[fvng]

Ok

Holy fuck

 

[Jack cw]

A good LCD screen is fine. Plus no burn in or that nasty MURA effect (black stains).

This is true. OLED might have deeper black levels and more contrast, even better colours, but has also downsides like mura or yellow tint. The new display should be good enough.

 

[VariantX]

Ok

Ew. It's so green compared to the original. Might just buy a vita now just so I can secure an OLED version before its phased out.

 

[KennyLinder]

I am no expert, but the screens on my iPhone and iPad are really good.

 

[erpg]

But what about the bad mould and glossy plastic? :-(

 

[Sephiroth503]

Ah but the OLED is better. Don't bullshit us please.

 

[Haunted]

See, doing PR like that is not a smart move, because it prevents you from hyping OLED for your next product without coming across as a disingenious tool.

 

[darkwing]

basically OLED > LCD

 

[MYE]

Ok

This blurry off screen pic looks fine to me.

 

[kartu]

Another comparison:

Well, on this screen both look the same (or new one looks slightly better).
Misterious.


PS
But in any case, on the bright side, no burnout problemc with LCDs and also power consumption might be a bit lower.

 

[def sim]

Unless they're using their crystal technology on that screen, I very much doubt the quote in the OP.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Another comparison:

The bottom one has a strange reddish hue. Guessing it's the lcd.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Sure Sony. We need more comparison shots. Don't bs us.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Another comparison:

Oh, they'll ignore that one or try to offer a reason why LCD looks better in this picture. Funnily enough, they won't apply the same logic to the one that makes it look worse.

 

[Wishmaster92]

Sure Sony. We need more comparison shots. Don't bs us.

We don't need more comparison shots, oled tv's are even better than plasma. This is an obvious downgrade any way you look at it, don't be fooled.

 

[Tenki]

But Sony told me that the OLED on Vita even influenced developers creatively.

[bomblord]

Well there it is guys can we stop arguing?

What was that?

No?

What why?

Oh, yea I forgot where I was at.

 

[Lesiroth]

They should've gone for LCD tech similar to what they use in their latest phones, Triluminos was it? It's quite good.

My biggest problems with OLED are burn-in (The screen on my Galaxy Nexus looks horrible only a year after use, I really hope the Vita doesn't degress that far) and the black splotches visible on a black screen.

 

[Discusguy]

No thanks Sony. I see some are already giving Sony a pass on this downgrade.

Here's another image, which is totally representative of the quality of the new screen. You should base 100% of your purchasing decision on this:

 

[shink]

No. The switch clearly was just to reduce costs.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

Here's another image, which is totally representative of the quality of the new screen:

Is the brightness set really low?

 

[inherendo]

I am no expert, but the screens on my iPhone and iPad are really good.

That's an ips panel. Different than what "LCD" usually means in a product. LED is also LCD technically.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Is the brightness set really low?

I hope you are joking.
