Samsung deserves a big thank you for pioneering OLED tech in the mobile space. Because of their constant push for bleeding edge hardware, other manufacturers can now reap the benefits when it comes to the display in their mobile devices. And fanboys no longer have to pretend they prefer a1080P LCD screen. Ohhhhhhh, did I just go there?

No light bleed to deal with from the edge of the screen either.
When you look at a LED 1080p screen and then an AMOLED 2k-4k screen, there is a dramatic difference when looking at video or gaming. 4K especially, because you get an almost 3d effect on screen. Looking at a grid of icons or website like this, not so much.
Wait, AMOLED's now cheaper?
Well, it's confirmed. Apple are definitely going to have AMOLED in the iPhone 7.
No such thing as led display. That just marketing. They're all LCDs. Only true led displays are oled.
Please do some research before you try to spread misinformation.
Telling people to not call it LED is pretty much a 180 from this post. Nobody ever calls it LED LCD - the name LED is synonymous with "LED-backlit" in this industry. You should know that as a self-proclaimed LED enthusiast. Unless you're really going to go around yelling at everybody to call it an LED LCD?Not sure how long you've been following display tech but I have been an enthusiast for over 16 years.
Here is a brief history:
LCD with CCFL is introduced as consumer display by Sony as they continued to lose marketshare in the plasma industry.
Samsung Markets EDGE lit LCD displays as LED TV's. Consumers see thin displays coupled with marketing are start calling them "LED TV's"
Publications such as CNETS David Katzmier and to a lesser extent others such HD GURU, HD shootouts in Scarsdale and enthusiasts and pro calibrators from AVS forum inform people of the differences.
Full array LED with local dimming LCD is introduced by samsung
The first true consumer LED (OLED) is brought to market by Sony in "11 form (I was actually in a Best Buy when local news was reporting on it with a blue shirt).
So, for the purposes of not "misinforming" people, you yourself noted that its a backlight. The display itself is the LCD portion.
To drive the point home, did anyone call them CCFL TVs? No they did not. So let's not allow others fall victim to marketing propaganda such as calling them "LED" tvs when they aren't/weren't. Let's ensure the "misinformation" stops here.
Would you like to go back and look at my original post? I said "no such thing as led display. That's just marketing. They're all LCDs. Only true led displays are oled". I never told anyone not to call something whatever they want. My second post says the same thing I did in my first but with 18 words instead of 200, that theres no such thing as led TVs, only oled. Hardly a 180. Also, seeing as the topic of discussion here is oled tech, it should be taken in to account that we should distinguish between the technologies as to not cause confusion to those" passing by ".Telling people to not call it LED is pretty much a 180 from this post.

TL;DR: hey guys, you can call it an LED display as much as you want, most of us know what you mean.
The only source of confusion here is yelling at people to not follow the established industry naming convention. I'm going to keep calling it as everyone else (except you, apparently) recognizes it, thanks.
Did I use caps? Nope. So no yelling from me.The only source of confusion here is yelling at people to not follow the established industry naming convention. I'm going to keep calling it as everyone else (except you, apparently) recognizes it, thanks.
No idea. Not sure how far along the tech is from companies like Samsung? Won't get cheap until scaled for consumer use.

We're getting way off topic here but I will respond since I was quoted, but it will be my last.
