JSmith Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 That still makes 2 in the pro OLED camp... Again all look at jsmith to get the first one on DTV... Donations anyone? ... I would have the money actually, but couldn't justify it (even myself) at the release price. JSmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myrantz Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 ... I would have the money actually, but couldn't justify it (even myself) at the release price. You don't want to buy it coz 1/ it's too expensive compared to other panels 2/ you know it will be outdated and replaced by something "newer" 1 year from the date you get it? From the word justify I have to guess/assume/state it's the latter.. And that's where the manufacturers and pushers have shot themselves in the foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 You don't want to buy it coz No, I'd love to buy one... but, 1/ it's too expensive, period. From the word justify I have to guess/assume/state it's the latter.. Nah mate, I just simply could not justify $10000 on a screen of any type (unless it was OLED wallpaper that covered my whole wall ) but there will be others that can/will. And that's where the manufacturers and pushers have shot themselves in the foot Not really, no. We're just talking about me personally, not everyone... what about you?

Owen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Nah mate, more like 5 - 10... where'd three come from in the first place...? This ring a bell? No one has said that it won't be 3 years before the OLED market takes over... who are you debating with? I recon it will be more like 10 years before OLED “takes over” from LCD, and by then something else may have come along to make it obsolete. BTW OLED will be amazing not just for blacks, but for overall colour reproduction and motion... these are things people will be able to see, especially once drawn to them by sales persons. As has been stated current displays are capable of pretty much perfect colour and gamma accuracy, is OLED going to be better then perfect? Unless exaggerated overblown colour is considered an improvement (and current displays also offer that), how is OLED going to be better? Differences will be very subtle, and what one man considers an improvement another may not. As for motion, faster pixel response is not the advantage you might think for movies, it brings with it increased visibility of low frame rate jitter and pretty much demands the use of motion interpolation to smooth it out, which brings along its own set of issues. Improvements in motion performance will again be very much in the eyes of the beholder, not a walk over for OLED.

Owen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) I don't doubt that as yields/volumes increase so will OLED market. These figures put it at less than 3% in 2016, so it will take time. That's been my message. Edited February 28, 2013 by Owen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmith Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 This ring a bell? Owen does this ring a bell? ...that would seem to be at least 3 years away at this stage in the game. My next post and subsequent posts were in response to that... so you first raised the figure of three years. Read back carefully... Please don't try to claim otherwise, it's undignified...

Owen Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The "3 years" I mentioned was the time I expected it would take for OLED just to get established in the market. You came back with "3 years before the OLED market takes over" which seemed odd to me so I asked, “Do you really think OLED will "take over" in three years?”. Did you mean to say "3 years before the OLED market takes off" because take over suggests market dominance and thats not going to happen in 3 years now is it?

johndee Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Another thing to consider is: How long will it be before the present crop of LCD/Plasma TV's need replacing (Or people think they do)? If the size is about the same, and I suspect it will be, then most people will not bother to replace unless the TV packs up. I can't see 4K making any difference as I don't think there will be anything broadcast JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeF1503559517 Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 I think if x265 is all its cracked up to be and we will see 1080p broadcasts, 4k blurays etc then its chances will increase. Feeding current gen displays junk from FTA is not really making people want or need anything new, especially at OLED's current price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 (edited) Oz TV is staying Mpeg2 for the foreseeable future. 1080p sources are all only 24fps and 1080p 24 requires LESS bandwidth than 1080i 50. As well as that, 1080p 24 or 25 cannot be used for sport as the frame rate is too low. 1080i 50 carries 1080p 24 source sped up to 25p without loss or problems as well as true 50Hz interlaces sources like sports which deinterlace to 50p. The only replacement for 1080i 50 is 1080p 50 and not even Bluray supports that. 1080i 50 will remain the best overall format for broadcast TV for quite some time. There is very little source that needs "4K", the vast majority of cinema film titles are certainly not up to 4k standards and TV's under 70" don't justify 4K either, although that wont stop manufacturers attempting to convince consumers that 4K is the next "must have" thing.

I've no doubt that a 60" OLED TV bought today will look just as awesome in ten years time. Just because something 'better' comes along next year doesn't mean we have to buy it?Oz TV is staying Mpeg2 for the foreseeable future.Agreed, although I do foresee some premium/niche H264 channels appearing before the end of the decade.

Just because something 'better' comes along next year doesn't mean we have to buy it? I want the technology to last at least 5 to 10 years. As for your second statement in bold, that is no longer the case since the advent of BD... Most times you are forced to buy it. The reason is DRM and it's complications. The TV will look awesome in ten years time, but then again it's playing movies you have watched for eons.. There is a very high likelihood movies five years from now will not play with this new TV without additional boxes/convertors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The blue LED's in RGB OLED displays have a much shorter life than the red and green LED's, thats not a real problem for a mobile phone screen as a phone screen will not rack up enough hours to show the problem before the phone gets replaced, but a TV display gets far more use and is expected to last much longer. LG are so concerned about this they are using white LED's as a work around, but that introduces another set of problems. Time will tell if blue LED aging has been solved.

pgdownload Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 There is a very high likelihood movies five years from now will not play with this new TV without additional boxes/convertors... Understood. However I'd doubt the high[/]i likelihood of this occurring. Most movies are still realeased to DVD and probably even VCR in some places. So I'm pretty sure in ten years time Blurays will still be being released. Of course if you want the latest Extra-Super-Hyper-4D-Definition (v3.2) technology then yes, a new STB is likely to be needed.I agree that the ability of manufacturers to force the migration of consumers for arbitrary reasons is disquieting. Software companies like Autodesk have been doing it for years, releasing a new version that adds almost nothing but means those that don't upgrade can't read the saved file format. I've long suspected that the security aspects of DRM have been let slide so that when its finally properly enforced almost all consumers will find they only have DRM equipment. Guess time will tell.

Do you know VCD is still alive and well in some regions?? Try finding a good player that does that format, they're rare..... Anyway with BD, although the format itself may still be available 10 years from now, you may need a new connector for HDMI x.. And old movies may likely not play well on new players. The idea of a CE always updated to get the latest DRM which really doesn't make my movie better just don't sit right with me. You don't see them that quick in fixing CE bugs that quickly... Guess time will tell. it might happen, it might not.. But just the thought of this will be hanging on many people's head (not just mine)... Something new you buy today will be outdated with no supporting equipment in a short few years, with next to zero resale value... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cwt Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) 'Cinavia' encoded Tv programs for all of us to enjoy in the future years ....maybe ? C.M Perish the thought .That will require a cinavia chip to identify the audio watermark CM .The unlikely moment that happens sales of pvrs and chipped tv's will suffer for those who use''other means'' to get their tv fix As long as the panel ce's dont join the bda it should be fine . Theres ways around this too as media players have shown thankfully Edited March 4, 2013 by cwt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.M Oh noes not Kogan Its good to know that its only sony bd discs that are cinavia infected so all the other studios will have to tamper with studio masters for a start .To be honest as it is an analog watermark I can only imagine it cant be sent over mpeg2 and it also requires AACS drm to identify its key . Thinking that would cripple any dnla/usb file playback thats common with todays panels I don't use a credit card either Direct debit ? I find its insidious its so easy .

JSmith I can only go on what you say not on what you meant to say. Your clarification only came after I questioned what you meant and that should have been the end of it as we both seem to agree that it will be 3 years or more before OLED gets any traction in the TV market. My original comment regarding “3 years” is below: “The real issue for consumers is not if OLED will come to market but when good reliable products with a price to size/performance ratio that makes sense will be available to purchase, that would seem to be at least 3 years away at this stage in the game.” This was an isolated comment and not in response to a post by you or anyone else.
