LG unveiled a gorgeous4K OLED W series at the show, while Samsung vowed to revolutionize the TV experience and heralda new era of entertainment with its newQLED TV series.Samsung touts that its QLED TVs deliver thebest picture quality ever,marking a "majorparadigm shift in the visual industry."
LG Is Not That Impressed By QLEDLG, meanwhile, is not utterly impressed by Samsung's new QLED TV technology and explains that it's not all that revolutionary after all. LG continues to focus on organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TVs and says that the new quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED) TV technology does have an upside, but it's not that major.More specifically, LG reckons that QLED has greater luminance, but that's about all it has extra compared to Samsung's previousquantum dot TVs.
It's Still An LCD Panel"The only change in Samsung Electronics' new product and previous one is luminance. In quantum dot, luminance can vary according to backlight,"says Han Sang-beom, LG Display vice chairman, as cited by Business Korea. "It is true that Samsung improved the efficiency of quantum dot, but it is a very small part of it. It is still [an] LCD panel."The LG executive's comment comes in response to Kim Hyun-seok, Samsung Electronics' president of the visual display business, who praised the new QLED TV technology and said that "further competition of visual quality is meaningless."While LG's executive gives credit to the impressive color reproduction achieved withquantum dot technology, he also points out that LG has its white color solution technology based on IPS Nano.OLED vs. QLED
The LG Display vice chairman further highlights that comparing QLED to OLED is useless, like comparing apples to oranges. OLED is self-light-emitting whereas QLED isnot, so they are obviously two different display types.
LG Display plans to continue expanding its large OLED business, as well as its small and mid-size plastic OLED (P-OLED) business this year. At the same time, the company plans to bank on its premium LCD business to strengthen its dominant position in the global display market.Moreover, LG plans to double its largeOLED panel production output compared to last year and more than double it each year in the future by changing its business structure to OLED, kicking off sixth-generation small and mid-sizeP-OLED panel production.Both Samsung and LG continue to innovateand add impressive new technology to make theirTV offerings stand out. While Samsung introduced QLED, LG unwrapped a new technology called Crystal Sound OLED (CSO), which basicallyoffers a high-end OLED panel with a sound system baked in.LG claims that CSO will deliver outstanding sound quality compared to using external speakers, which only produce reflective sound. The company showcased CSO technology at CES 2017 on 55-inch and 65-inch UHD TVs and the demonstration was quite impressive.All in all, it seems that competition keeps heating up between LG andSamsung, heralding an exciting future for high-end TVs.
