It has just been announced that LG, the pioneers of OLED technology, are set to release a brand new panel type, the OLED.EX. 

Traditionally, the self-lit pixels on OLEDs have bagged them the top spot when it comes to the best panels on TVs thanks to true blacks, breathtaking contrast and sharp image quality. But with brands like Samsung creating competitors such as the Neo QLED, LG have decided to kick things up a notch with their latest innovation. 


What is an OLED.EX TV?

When it comes to LG TVs, the OLED.EX TV is an upgrade from traditional OLEDs as it utilises new materials, algorithms and designs to revolutionise the OLED panel as we know it.


How can OLED.EX improve screen brightness?

Whilst OLEDs are extremely popular, they can sometimes be known to be a little dark. This issue has been overcome thanks to the use of the material Deuterium. 

This is where it gets a bit technical. OLED.EX panels use a substance called Deuterium which is an isotype of hydrogen in atomic structure, however, Deuterium packs an extra neutron particle. Deuterium compounds can be used to make highly efficient organic light-emitting diodes. When stabilised, the Deuterium compounds allow the display to emit up to 30% brighter light while maintaining high efficiency.

In simpler terms, you can enjoy up to a 30% increase in brightness on your OLED.EX TV. Plus, it’s also said to be more power-efficient.

How can the OLED.EX improve imagery?

Not only do we have an increase in brightness due to a material change, we also have an increase in image quality and responsiveness thanks to an algorithmic change. Whereby the TV will use an AI personalised algorithm to predict and precisely fire the lighting patterns on the millions of individually lit pixels. 

Creating intelligent and adaptive image processing which we imagine will be similar to how a smartphone may use scene detection to enhance images.


Smaller bezels on the OLED.EX

The advancements in technology on this panel also allow for a decrease in bezel size, shrinking it from 6mm to 4mm, offering more screen space and allowing us to get even closer to a ‘zero bezel’ design.


Is the OLED.EX better than the OLED?

The EX is created as an upgrade from the OLED, so essentially yes it is better. From improved brightness to enhanced visuals and thinner bezels, it’s designed to revamp OLED technology, keeping it secure in the top spot. 


When will OLED.EX TV be released and how much will they cost?

Whilst production hasn’t yet begun on this, we can expect it to start in April 2022 with an initial cost that is expected to be higher than a traditional OLED.

Motherboard Buying Guide 2021

Image
When building or upgrading a PC, there’s one component that is arguably the most important, serving as your system’s foundation. This is, as you may have guessed, the motherboard. Your choice of motherboard will determine many things in your build, such as the components you are able to use, and vice versa - for example, your choice of CPU may determine which motherboard you should purchase. So, what exactly  is a motherboard, and what should you look out for? Read on for our top tips. What is a motherboard? A motherboard is the foundation of a computer and is the main printed circuit board that holds and allows communication between your crucial components, from processor to memory. Without having a motherboard, your hard drive, graphics card, and every other component won't be able to interact. It serves as a backbone to your system, which is why selecting the right motherboard for your build is crucial. While many modern motherboards are packed with a wide endless list of featu...

Where to Buy Lite Hash Rate GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, 3070 and 3080 Graphics Cards

Image
While many of us rely on graphics cards to enjoy the latest gaming titles or to upgrade our PCs, their intelligent technology makes them ideal for alternative uses. NVIDIA GPUs are programmable, meaning they can be used for a range of activities from gene sequencing and weather simulation to mining cryptocurrency. Passionate about gaming, NVIDIA strives to find ways to ensure their GPUs " end up in the hands of gamers ", so we can experience cutting-edge technologies such as RTX real-time ray tracing as they were meant to be. What is Lite Hash Rate? Following the announcement in February that NVIDIA were reducing the Ethereum hash rate in all of their GeForce RTX 3060 graphics cards, they have now taken additional measures by applying a reduced hash rate to their new GeForce RTX 3080, RTX 3070 and RTX 3060 Ti ranges. "Lite Hash Rate" or "LHR" for short, is the term given to these new GPUs, which contain a reduced hash rate making them perfect for gaming ...

Encrypted Data Storage vs Traditional Data Storage

Image
If you run a business, you may have large amounts of important data and files that need to be kept secure and confidential. So what’s the best way to keep this data safe? You need secure storage devices! A recent survey conducted by iStorage Ltd, found that some businesses may be at risk, with two thirds of data being stored on unencrypted storage devices. iStorage Ltd is an award-winning company and trusted global leader in PIN-authenticated, hardware-encrypted data storage and cloud encryption devices. Their research into data security found that 99% of people consider data security to be a necessary practice, but only 5% are following advice from the National Cyber Security Centre on data storage and backup. Not storing and backing up data with secure methods is causing a vast majority of data, and the businesses storing this data, to become vulnerable. Because of this, it's important to let businesses know about the importance of using encrypted storage methods, over tradit...
