I would have no problem with it only the TV is 43" (there's far bigger ones out there) and the layout they used just isn't really practical.Hoodcom wrote:I can certainly see why OLED might would need it. Though I fail to see why LCD would considering you could just use brighter backlighting.
Though I can see how it effects the clarity. After all the days of monochrome displays for computers to CGA showed a difference in how sharp your text was too. I've heard LG has to do this due to the manufacturing process of such large panels anyway, where normal RGB layout isn't ideal right now?
An OLED has them arranged in a neat vertical straight down manner while the LED RGBW is using a checkerboard pattern.
A 4K RGBW OLED TV consists of 15,360 sub-pixels per row (3840 of each red, green, blue, and white) meaning the total amount of coloured sub-pixels is 11,520, where as the RGBW LED TV shares the white sub-pixel with the next RGB row.
This means it consists of 11,520 sub-pixels, but 960 on each row are white horizontally. This means the total amount of coloured sub-pixels on each row is 10,560 (meaning there's only 3520 of each red, green and blue) so each row is missing 320 sub-pixels of each colour which have been replaced with shared white sub-pixels.
