More Smartphone Vendors Likely to Adopt OLED Panels if Burn-in Issue Can Be Solved

Disagree . Prefer my iPad 10.5 pro screen to iPhone x screen.

Really did not have the wow factor going from IPhone 7 to X , it's how good Apple Panels were...

This was clearly going to be a problem, as it was with plasma screens before. The backlight on any item will deteriorate with time. The only things they can do are make the deterioration take so long that it can't be noticed during the life cycle of the device, or switch to something where the backlight is always on the entire screen at the same time so all areas age equally, which they already have in LED backlit displays. I have no doubt that OLED will be a stepping stone to a better display technology, but likely it will take a decade to get there and in that time Samsung will be raking in the profits

Still rocking a plasma TV.... rocking image quality and awesome blacks . No burn in. :)

Get back to me wish Apple releases the OLED iPad Pro
 
Here's what they need to fix.
1. Blue shift when viewing it at an angle (I don't think an issue with TV's)
2. Longevity. The blue pixels die out quicker than the others and if you view a lot of content with black bars your TV will "age" unevenly
3. Burn-in awareness/information. People still don't seem to understand it and how/why it happens.

I don't think OLED will ever be mainstream for TV's because of those issues, but it's great for the enthusiast who really wants that amazing contrast. On phones I think it is a step in the right direction assuming they can fix viewing angles.

For someone who went from a 7 plus to an X, yes, colors just pop a lot more and blacks are ink black

Fair enough . I went from 7 plus to X, honestly it's a marginal improvement, and as I said , iPad 10.5, better than both. True Tone on x.... nah....

Everyone will jump in with OLED just before the micro-LED’s are Samsung’s new standard.

I don't know anything about micro led but will it have at least as good of black levels and contrast ratio as OLED? If not I'd rather stick with OLED but hopefully they figure out burn in better.
 
I've owned 3 Samsung phones with OLED. Note II had a slight issue with it (late 2012 to 2014); Note 4 had no issue (2014-2015) and my S6 edge+ hasn't had any issues with burn-in.
 
This is just another Apple shill post isnt it?

"OLED was trash until Apple did it"

Nope, that's what YOU said. A lot of companies try to copy Apple, Samsung and probably others as well. Adding another one of the big phone makers into the OLED camp will obviously make others try to put them in their phones too.

What's there to copy? Apple is using Samsung engineered and manufactured displays with minor custom tweaks (ie, calibration and brightness adjustment); otherwise, it's the same old --- umm, I mean new -- Samsung Super AMOLED. I don't understand why Apple would want to make their AMOLED displays brighter considering that the burn-in is a legit quality issue in OLED. But then, most iPhone users are probably rich and are more than eager to throw money at Apple every 3-6 months, so we all win.

Considering how may phones get a cracked screen over the course of two years that requires replacement, this might not be much of an issue. If you get a new screen, then burn in issue is solved.
 
I find the idea that anyone finds LCD screens superior in anyway to OLED blows my mind. Contrast is miles better, the motion blur is none existent colours are simply wonderful and this nonsense about life span and image retention is a none issue.Apple has nailed it with the iPhone X.

It's taken long enough for them to adopt the technology. I've been using OLED since my Samsung galaxy S2, now all my TV and my iPhone x. Hopefully LCD will come to an end soon.

I think Apple tells Samsung how it wants them manufactured, Apple has been working on OLED for a while also

It’s crazy to me that so many people haven’t seen more issues with OLED burn in. My ps vita has burn in, my old galaxy S6 has major burn in and dead verticle pixel lines, my roomates current s8 is already showing minor burn in, my parents took their OLED LG tv back from it.. it’s practically been an issue in every OLED Display I’ve seen. I’ll definitely go back to android and find a manufacturer that doesn’t use it if Apple starts adopting it across their whole product line.

LCD will remain until the longevity of OLED improves or a replacement like microLED becomes viable and manufacturing friendly. Especially for TVs.
