Apparently they are going to be buying LG panels and rebranding them. I don't see the point honestly unless they are adding better calibration tools in firmware or Black-Frame Insertion to make the panel low-persistence like G-Synch monitors/CRTs and a better game mode to reduce input lag all for the PS4.

Meanwhile leaks of LG's own 2017 lineup will include the same sized panels with some updates including a wallpaper model (OLED65W7) that's as thin as a credit card, flexible, and mounted with magnets like refrigerator calendars/white boards.

i want that wallpaper thing
what resolution do they have?

Sony already has OLED panels.

For their extremely expensive broadcast monitors

Yes. There's very little reason to use OLED with the current tech available vs Sony's current line up of VA monitors.
Now once the Bravia line has OLED then there may be reason to get an OLED.
>>57848045
All of their 2016 models, even the cheapest base one are 4K so the 2017 models should all be 4K as well.
>>57848078
Sure, in their TriMaster series that retail for more than a nice used car. It would be nice if they'd adapt their in-house tech for a consumer lineup but I don't think they have the panel capacity to generate such volume.

Since OLED is per pixel emissive, you can't implement a scanning backlight to combat sample-and-hold persistency like with G-Synch monitors so it's either BFI or implementing some kind of strobing pixel tech. If you used a higher refresh rate and LG has made statements about supporting HFR in the recent past:

Then the inserted frames won't be on screen long enough to cause viewer-induced flicker. It isn't like OLED has pixel response time limitations that could bottleneck such an approach. The chief issue would be that it would cut the apparent brightness of the panel in half, but they'd also talked about greater HDR support (thus a higher nit-rating) next year as well which could alleviate that.

OLED can be strobed.
>Since OLED is per pixel emissive,
Yes but it's updated by a rolling scan like usual. To make a strobe you just need to have a period of black be longer.
