Is LG OLED Really That Bad?
For years we worshiped at the altar of WOLED displays like the LG C series TVs, yet now I’ve spotted a growing sentiment since the release of QD OLED that WOLED TVs and monitors are “trash” and get destroyed by QD OLED, but is this actually true, or does WOLED still hold value today, well lets pencil dive straight in
Now WOLED as you might imagine stands for white OLED and is named such for the extra white subpixel used in addition to the traditional Red, Green, and Blue you might see in an LCD based display, which may seem strange at face value, but this extra subpixel was key to greatly reducing the risk of burn in on early OLED TVs.
Now today, anti burn in technologies and OLED durability have been greatly improved, but once it was but a foreign concept, hence the aforementioned extra white to reduce strain on red, green, and blue, but then something happened that would make LG clench like never before.
Samsung came busting out of the closet soy facing and jump scared LG with their brand new QD OLED technology which combined OLED with quantum dots and did away with traditional polarizing layers to enhance color volume and overall brightness.
The advantage of Samsung’s new QD OLED technology was that they were able to produce far more color than WOLED which, unfortunately likely due to the extra white subpixel, can struggle with color volume in HDR. Not only that, but WOLED has worse uniformity and even some noticeable vertical banding on gray screens which sometimes can’t be solved even with a manual pixel clean.
QD OLED has no such issues. So with better color and uniformity, and today oftentimes lower prices as well is WOLED done for?
Not necessarily, and here's why.
LG has a far better glossy coating. One of the best things about OLEDs is that MOST of them especially TVs will use a glossy coating to give the best image quality possible, but whoopsie doodle QD OLED because they have ditched a polarizing layer for a Quantum dot layer, seems to have an issue where ambient light may be energizing the QD layer leading to either a magenta or gray tint when presented with even a small amount of ambient light, which can defeat the main purpose of OLED in a bright room, it’s ability to show true black.
LG on the other hand uses an excellent glossy coating on their C series OLED TVs which looks black even in a very bright room, the only issue is that for now all their OLED monitors use a grainy and oily matte coating which greatly harms the image quality, though it sounds like there is a good chance this will change soon.
LG WOLED can get usually get brighter. The S95D QD OLED TV is an exception to this as it may very well be the brightest OLED on the market, but typically WOLED can get brighter, just at the cost of color volume as we discussed previously
LG WOLED typically has more accurate color and gamma tracking for professionals in my experience. Now this almost certainly isn’t always going to be true, and it’s important to eyeball as many reviews as possible for each product you're thinking of throwing hands with, but in my experience, especially on TVs LG tends to do a better job of creating accurate modes for creators and film buffs which I greatly appreciate.
The latest LG WOLED displays are starting to ship with a new RGWB subpixel arrangement which is about as close to a regular RGB layout we've seen on OLE leading to better text and less noticeable chromatic aberration such as red and green lines on the edges of text and objects like we often see on QD OLED which unfortunately uses a triangle arrangement.
