I think it depends on what you're looking for. There's high end displays you can buy with near perfect color accuracy and image quality as is. So OLEDs aren't some big jump there. OLEDs are really mostly about their form-factor at this point and having something paper thin. They also take less power to run and reportedly have super fast response times and better refresh rates. Most good TVs are at points where those things don't really matter a whole lot anymore though (except huge Plasmas still take a good bit more power, if you really give a shit about being "green").are these things gonna be as good as they're being hyped to be?
I can assure you response time is noticeable on any LCD. Just swipe your mouse across the screen and look at the shadows. You don't get that on CRTs and OLEDs.Yeah, I don't see these being able to compete with high end, big screen TVs in price/performance for quite a long time - especially Plasmas. Response time is low enough even on my Phillips that I have never noticed it no matter what has been hooked up to it, I don't think that's really an issue anymore.
So that brings it down to Image Quality of OLED Vs High End Plasma, which isn't some vast gulf like OLED Vs LCD, right?
So that basically just leaves form-factor.
The PS4 will likely support it (though no games will actually use it, only certain Blu-ray releases), but it's pretty much meaningless due to viewing distances and visual acuity.what about 4k resolution? any chance the next batch of consoles will support it?
I was talking about Plasmas, mainly. Moving your mouse back and forth really fast is not an indication of actual game performance either. Unless you have somereallyshitty TV/Monitor the response time stuff is a non-issue while playing video games. I have never once noticed ghosting or after images or stuff not happening right as I pressed a button in games onanyof my displays. I've never used an extremely shitty LCD though, I went right from a high end CRT to an expensive NEC IPS Monitor the first time I made the jump.I can assure you response time is noticeable on any LCD. Just swipe your mouse across the screen and look at the shadows. You don't get that on CRTs and OLEDs.
