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

    It's unlikely that screen was ever calibrated. But you proved his point, most AMOLED haters think the blue pixels die within a year.
    No it does not, because they make it bigger :-)))
    So if blue pixels are an even larger percentage of the screen area the obvious lack of them would be quite noticeable. A screen where blue pixels die first is going to shift to the warm side.

    So if OLED is such a great technology why has Samsung stopped making OLED TV's?

    In fact the only company making OLED TV's is LG which uses a different tech than Samsung.

    If OLED is the holy grail as you claim why is there only ONE manufacter who makes OLED TV's?????
    Cost. Plasma is also superior to LCD for TV in terms of quality but it lost out due to cost. But if you're a connesiour of high quality images of would chose Plasma.

    He knows nothing about Apple as his vague statements show: "glass back to stand out from the competition" and alike. That's not Apple as we know it. He rather describes a state-sponsored Korean multimedia telephone maker's debate. Apple is a computing giant who has grown to this peak thanks to... you name it, without any state sponsorship, ever... It has no concerns like standing out of the crowd.

    A switch as strategic as oled makes sense only if Apple converts all its displays, including iMacs, Thunderbolt displays, MacBooks, iPods and iPads from LCD to oled... It is NOT a multimedia telephone maker. It sells a computing ecosystem, not a few models of multimedia telephones. You must be Kuo to believe that Apple will introduce a mess of incompatible, inconsistent display technologies into its established and mature ecosystem and it will leave LCD (to join the crowd while trying to stand out from the crowd, by the way)...
    Believe me I cannot wait for AMOLED screens on more devices. It'll be the biggest upgrade that im looking forward to for my rMBP.

    I'd like to see similar from Displaymate, but AMOLED is looking to have the edge here. The black-levels alone on LCD are terrible.

    The color gamut of a display may take several forums like this so let me just specify a single thing: the black levels in a movie is a defect rather than a feature. You can compress a MP4 movie several times again and again until it gets smaller and smaller. If will play smoothly without any frame dropping. But the tonal balance will be screwed up as a result of excessive compression. All the grays will be washed out, or painted out to black. You'll get blackest blacks on people suits, hairs, faces and all the drama achieved by photographic art management will be lost. Yet the TV seller of your neighborhood will brag about the blackest blacks you're seeing... Tell him that is a bad demo movie...

    This is why a SD definition movie in iTunes takes about 1.5 GB while it can be compressed even to half of that. Apple avoids excessive compression to prevent blackest blacks...

    Great, so when LCD tries to display it can, but when it tries to display black it displays gray. When AMOLED tries to display gray it can, but when it tries to display black it also can. So what you're saying is that a properly encoded black level in a movie is gray, which is great and AMOLED can display it just fine as gray. What is the issue? Are you just defending LCD as it is what Apple uses in most of the their displays instead of looking at future technology you would like to see Apple use?

    AMOLED is a gimmick.  The color reproduction is not faithful.  It is only good for video.  But black is not black.  White is not white. 
    AMOLED has been, for quite a few years, been able to be calibrated just as well as LCD. AMOLED has matured A LOT. Look at what Samsung can do with AMOLED and then tell me Apple can not do better?

    What recent mobile Intel part has ever supported overclocking? The multipliers have been locked on all Intel mobile processors since the P4 line was retired, and it's not like you can water-cool a laptop anyway Falcon so I'm not sure what you're focusing on here with your criticism. Other OEM's have had no issues in regards to the processor on their Skylake-updated Thin and Lights so I'm not seeing what issues you expect Apple is having/would have with theirs. 
    Then you must not own a Surface or Surface Pro. Even Paul Thurrott, the ultimate Microsoft apologist calls it Surface gate. You can read it here:

    Intel's portable CPUs do have serious issues.  And Samsung was given grief over issues of power consumption with the A9. 

    As for me, I am not interested in any machine with an x86 CPU these days. 
    Quote in that article where it says it's all Intel's fault. What I got out of it was it was all Microsoft's fault.
