How do reference and fancy FALD (Full Array Local Dimming) do even go in the same sentence?

Just give the people a OLED panel subscription instead of this LED unifomity nightmare waiting to happen.



Are there OLED panels available with this size and pixel density? My understanding is also that OLED panels currently can suffer a bit from burn-in, or at least color stability problems, which is a no-go for reference monitors.


That what I meant, a built in calibration arm/camera unit plus easily replacable panel w/o driver unit might have been a killer feature. But replaceable and Apple don't mix.

To me this looks like a overengineered consumer device, with insane macro-scale part count and failures/uniformity issues just waiting to happen. Besides local contrast issues with in a LED driven pixel area and the borders between them. You can do this, but comparing it reference class seems quite the claim to live up to.

The $40k Sony device mentioned is OLED btw.

...and it still burns in, degrades, etc. It's not supposed to show a desktop.

Even with a replaceable panel, it would be a very costly affair. LCD panels are mass market products, even if they happen to be (cut as) 6K or 8K.


I'd imagine that that's implicit: Nobody's buying a 40k display to show a desktop.
