Uncle at Nintendo posted:Why did Samsung stop making OLED TVs? because it wasn't profitable Uncle at Nintendo posted:I hope people don't think QLED is OLED. Consumer confusion/idiocy is why plasmas no longer exist and I don't want the same fate for OLED manufacturers had a really hard time producing plasma panels in large sizes and high resolutions. since it was already more expensive than regular old lcd TVs, it had to dominate in high-end markets to exist at all. and it couldn't compete on size. so plasma died. oled, as it happens, has trouble with size, brightness, and resolution. gee i wonder what will happen to this emerging technology that requires high margins to survive but doesn't adapt well to large panel sizes?

qirex posted:samsung's "QLED" is a cynical attempt to create customer confusion and charge more for their middlin' edge lit lcd panels than actual oleds cost, in response samsung's high end marketshare is plummeting because hey making worse tvs and charging more for them isn't the best strategy so what the gently caress is qled i thought it was just a regular lcd, but using quantum dots for backlighting so that they were individually controllable. the ultimate FALD if you will

san francisco's bike share program is ford-branded i assume ford closes sales because once somebody climbs SF's hills on a bicycle they are suddenly much more amenable to car ownership
