LG says its new 'Dream OLED' tech cracks the pesky problems that prevent OLED gaming panels being brighter and lasting longer

Now it'd be nice to see them innovate their way out of selling customer data as standard, even when the customer paid over 2K for their device.
- I mean, LG Displays aren't bad in that regard. The different departments of some of these conglomerates might as well be wholly different companies.
  Also, if you buy an OLED Monitor from another Vendor, chances aren't all that bad it's a LG panel either way.
  
  Oh, I'm not questioning the quality of their displays, they're certainly up there as being some of the best available. I'm referring to something Louis Rossman has covered before about how even their expensive units have information gathering turned on as standard. When paying over 2 grand for a TV, I'd expect my information wouldn't be subsidising the cost anymore.
Hoping this also tackles the rampant VRR flickering issue on every single OLED monitor currently on the market.
literally don't care about brightness. do people game outdoors or something? I have never used any display over 60% of its brighness capability.
fix vrr flicker and we can talk.
- just when I'm watching anything that's supposed to be dramatic on HBO
Hope so! modern OLED's are far more resistant to fading, but would be nice for that to be a thing of the past!
What kind of spyware is it running?
Isn't this what quantum dots are supposed to do? My new QDOLED TV is already uncomfortable at full brightness IMO.
- Exactly my thoughts as well. At 1000 nits peak the OLED screens I have are already painfully bright under "ideal" viewing conditions (i.e., dim lighting), and easily visible in poor conditions (sunny day, curtains/blinds open). What on earth are they building them brighter for? Outdoor daytime viewing?

  HDR I think
Would love to get the brightness and vibrancy of CRTs in a modern display.
- I think most modern screens are brighter and more vibrant than a CRT (with proper HDR, doubt any CRT could be 1200+ nits) , but definitely the pixel switching, smearing and delay is a lot worse.
- CRTs aren't very bright though. LED backlit monitors can output absurd levels of brightness.
Was the problem that if they did that first time round you wouldn’t have to upgrade your TV now?
It’s ok to dream about the future LG, but how about releasing firmware upgrades in the present to fix your current OLED monitors?
