News OLED TV Burn-in Testing Reinvestigated Due to Settings Inconsistencies

Testing the QD-OLED panels in the monitors has me curious if only because the OLED part of it is a single color that excites the QD part. While that doesn't mean much in terms of burn-in, it may present different behavior than a straight OLED panel.

However, after using a Mini LED panel for a few months now, I don't think I'll be looking at OLED panels for a while. Sure there's a little bit of haloing here and there, but a lot of times it really does feel like I'm looking at an OLED panel even in a dark room. Doubly so if HDR content is running.

Mini-LEDs are brighter with imperfect blacks, and have some haloing. OLEDs are dimmer but have perfect contrast with a chance of permanent burn-in. I personally went with OLED because the haloing from Mini-LEDs drives me insane, and the room I have it in is usually dark so peak brightness is less of an issue. Both technologies look amazing either way.
 
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that a couple firmware updates ago, Sony moved the recalibration cycle to only occur in the middle of the night. My A80J used to click randomly in the middle of the afternoon if we watched something in the AM, and now it no longer does that. (I suspect a lot of people were wondering if their TV was posessed.) I can guess that they simply moved the recal cycle to when most people are asleep.
 
When manufacturers are confident enough in their OLED panels to warranty them parts and labor for 10 years, I'll consider them. LG is getting there with a 5 year parts-only warranty on their TVs, but if I'm to spend $1500+ on a higher end TV, I want guarantees it'll actually last.

The issue with Samsung's QD-OLED panels is that their panels use only Red & Green Quantum Dots while the Blue OLED passes through un-obstructed w/o any Quantum Dots.

So effectively, the panel is a pure Blue OLED panel underneath the QD layer.

So OLED burn-in will happen since part of the Blue OLED will always shine through, and any static image that uses Blue in it will slowly show itself as the RTings burn-in test has shown.


This is why I think the "Ultimate" Display Panel tech would be a Violet SED Panels with a RGB QD Layer over it using a standard Hexagonal Color Matrix like old school CRTs.

Maximum Color Emission using the Violet Color since that has the highest electron-Volt value to excite the QD layer.
