Its shaping up to be a big year for TVs.
The panel throw in (also referred to as four-stack OLED) isLGDisplays newest top-of-the-line OLED technology in 2025.
Its shaping up to be a heavyweight match-up, and my money is on RGB Tandem.
Why am I so bullish about the new, unproven technology?
But Primary RGB Tandem technology is, by all accounts,incrediblybright without any micro lenses.
According to representatives from both LG and Panasonic, these new panels are even brighter than previous iterations.
The LG G4, for example, covers about 73% of the Rec.
The S95D thanks in large part to its quantum dots is bumping up against 90% of Rec 2020.
Thats a considerable difference.
According to LG Display, its new OLED panel delivers a 40% increase in color brightness.

Above is a close-up of a QD-OLED TV panel displaying a black-and-white checkerboard pattern.
Now, minor, near-imperceptible color fringing is absolutelynota substantial mark against QD-OLED TVs.
But Im into the idea of display technology getting healthier, even incrementally.
(And, for the record, theblue light output of QD-OLED TVsare also safe and carefully controlled).
Im not pulling for this new OLED jot down because Ive got an axe to grind against QD-OLED.
Instead, I see this as an opportunity for OLED TVs in general to get better.
And, when popular technology gets better, it incentivizes TV brands to do more with less.
When the dust settles, theres a very good chance that QD-OLED TVsandfour-stack OLED TVs get more affordable.
And, when that happens, you and I win, too.
