  • Samsung launches curved, 34-inch display with Thunderbolt 3

    Only a VA panel, not IPS.  So faster response (4ms, 100 Hz), but colour won't be as accurate as IPS displays.

  • Apple expected to ditch aluminum, release glass-backed iPhone with OLED display in 2017

    There are very good reasons why Apple has not done OLED for iPhone. Its not like OLED is top secret hard to get tech. Even cheap POS China brands have OLED screens. Its more about quality control.

    The short life of Blue OLED pixels is horrible. With quick dimming of Blue OLED your screen will never have color accuracy except for the first few months. The only way to correct this is with monthly calibration with expensive equipment done by experienced image engineers. 

    Second problem is OLED battery drain from displaying white. Most websites, spreadsheets, apps, and docs use white as a background. That is why OLED phones have much larger batteries.

    If OLED can fix these two problems then iPhone may get OLED.  But until then I'd rather have a phone with very good black levels (not as good as OLED) but with great color accuracy for the life of the phone.

    And those test by Andantech and Displaymate don't mean crap because those are new phones. Lets see them test those OLED phones after 12 months.
    There have been many advances in the past 6 years on Blue OLED - a quick search comes with up several going back to 2009 to get lifespans up to similar range with Red - although it likely took several years for that research to translate to "in production" tech, so maybe things are finally "ready".

    here is one example:  http://www.reliableplant.com/Read/18503/dupont-oled-technology-achieves-1-million-hours-lifetime
