Modern display discussion

I would actually go for a 51" F8500 if I found one locally for like $500. Maybe $600.

No way I would pay $1K or more, though

Hum, OLED is not it's own category, it's a technology within the LCD category, like CCFL, RGB LED, WLED and so on.

No, it is certainly not.

Wow, you've got you things really mixed up there Lawf...

OLED has more in common with plasma than LCD: directly emmissive subpixels with no backlight. Heck, they wouldn't even have any colour filters on TVs if yields were high enough to produce regular RGB OLED panels that size.

There is basically no similarity between how LCD panels work (backlight produces light, polarize the light, selectively change polarization with LCD, another polarizer to block the light that is polarized a certain way, a colour filter to produce colour) and OLED (apply electricity to OLED, coloured light comes out).

I see, what about the CLED technology?

Still unrelated to LCD. Much more related to OLED in fact, only the LED's are not organic.

SONY's CLEDIS as showcased at CES 2017 is actually a very cool piece of kit. They sell the display as these modules that you stick together to make a screen of a size of your choosing. The modules have no gap between them so once fitted together they create a seamless display surface.

Due to the size of the LED's there is lower limit size factor, which makes them ideal for creating screens of above 100" range. Too bad they are aiming them at the commercial industrial/market, rather than the consumer segment.

For one the modules are rather expensive, and they do not come with any sort of TV like processing built in, so you will need your own scaling driver to display content on these displays.

If SONY can bring down the price I would love to cover an entire wall in my apartment with these modules for a projector sized LED display.

Will we ever have a modern display technology that doesn't have a fixed resolution?

[Guspaz]

It stops mattering when display densities get high enough. Even CRTs had a theoretical maximum fixed resolutions on at least one axis. Two axis for shadowmask.

If you have more subpixels per inch on a fixed resolution display than you do shadowmask subpixels on a CRT, how is that any worse for dynamic resolutions?

[Xyga]

We only need ever better panels, better scaling/processing, better interpolation+antiblur formula working in harmony with variable refreshes, all that with extra low lag.
