RGB leds - ugh



What does he mean no one expected XD ?
I mean you are using still zones. So it is normal that red zones will "red" other colors in that zone XD
Virtually all text, small details will have fucked up colors with such feature and it is impossible to avoid it unless you use white backlight zones which defeats the purpose in the first place.
 
What TV do you recommend for someone gaming in a bright room with lots of windows?

Bay drapes for windows ?
Or go with normal LCD no RGB baclights, no zones just pure LCD. You won't be looking at pure blacks either way so it doesn't matter.
Also latest OLEDs can peak to 3-4k nits so even in bright room they are good enough.
 
So I was surfing around Reddit and stumbled upon the OLED community there.

It seems LG does a shittastic job of sealing the sides of the OLED panel which lets oxygen in, destroying the screen.
So now I am a bit nervous. 😭

Pretty much everyone expected it (and first reports were from like ~one year ago) but Vincent has to make dramatic titles of his videos :messenger_grinning_sweat:

And he doesn't have to shill for RGB Led in this video because it promotes competing tech (but he did that in the past).

Honestly there aren't any good reviewers outside of pure numbers ones like hdratings and their stat site.
Like dudes non stop onanize D65 white point which by all who have actually eyes is muddled yellow white.
And it's funny watching their reviews on release, onanizing every new thing and then later hear from them that there are problems...

Not only those idiots are jacking of to D65, they also can't seem to think of anything other than praising tv companies which go around problems instead of fixing problems.

Like 24fps problem on movies. The proper fix is to have 48hz mode, with black frame insertion. Literally how every movie works in cinema. You get then frame, black frame, frame, black frame. 24fps movie is then smooth. Brain will do the rest just like in cinema.
Even better. Have VRR in filmmaker mode so you can display any framerate you want. without introducing judder. So you can have 144hz display which then displays black frame for shorter time than actual frame to better encapsulate how cinama works.

But no. Let's jack off to D65 for 1000time showing how boring movies can look. Trully people who make movies just fucking love D65 and don't want color in their movie XD

Color volume is another one of those. You can literally on your remote increase saturation and color volume will go up. As much as you fucking want it. It's not magic. Buuuuuttt.... HEY D65 YOU FORGOT ABOUT THAT !!! Virtually any OLED if you actually target actual paper WHITE instead of old cum stain D65 is fucking vivid masterpiece. That's why my G5 experience was so bad considering it was supposed to be color volume masterpiece. Because i tuned my C1 saturation up and set it to actual paper white and voila i had reds of G5 for years XD

Now its RGB led season of eating slop from those companies and they are all lining up talking about color volume once again and D65.

Not one of them asked tv companies representatives when they will finally fucking fix VRR flicker. It's there for at least 5 years now. It's not huge issue but with it gone OLEDs would be literally perfect now.

This problem plagued WOLED from ~2019 to 2023 but I haven't seen reports of TVs newer than LG C3 suffering from that. So it might be fixed.
