OLED absolutely is not the future of display technology. Besides phones, it's a stopgap solution for TVs until MicroLEDs become feasible.
OLED makes for terrible monitors to use for hours on end, with all the stationary UI elements causing burn-in. It's an unsolved problem.
OLED also isn't all that bright, especially on a smaller screen. You want those nits for bright HDR content, like the sun, not to stare at it all day.
OLED also isn't substantially more energy efficient.
OLED visibly degrades in quality well within its lifetime.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love OLED TVs to watch films on, but they don't make for good monitors.
- ilovecaching 7y agoLenovo is already starting to sell them. SamsUng would have told you they are too expensive to produce until LG figured it out, just like they’ve figured out how to make sceeen from phones to TVs with real longevity. We’ll see about competition when it comes.
- gridlockd 7y agoNobody figured out burn-in or longevity with OLED. Sure, some companies may sell such products, that doesn't mean they solved these issues. It just means they don't care about those issues.
