Samsung,
What?
What
HiFi reports Samsung has
announced the debut of their
S95B QD-OLED TV. It has
the potential to overtake LG as
the leader in TV technology. Yet
their announcement gives this
QD-OLED TV third billing.
Their 8K QLED LCD TV and LCD
"Frame" are their leads in new
product announcements. Plus it's
hard to find mention of their
cutting-edge QD tech on their
website.
((e))coustics.com
offers a possible explanation.
Samsung
may be using QD-OLED as a
placeholder until the release of
their QNED technology. QD-OLED
uses blue orgainic LEDs to
stimulate red and green quantum
dots. QNED tech replaces
QD-OLED organic LEDs
with brighter longer-life inorganic
LEDs.
Samsung's
QNED should take the lead until
micro-LED arrives.

Sony's
Message to Samsung
