OLED TVs and Green

Last updated on Fri 03/03/2023 - 10:24

Thinking mostly about Samsung here.  I have been invested for around 4-5 years now and always assumed that once TVs came on board green would be in commercial production by then and would be used in them (and revenues would soar given the 50-60 times greater screen size compared to a smartphone).  However, given the reportedly fantastic display that Samsung is currently making by just using red, my question to those that have been here longer than me and know a lot more technically about OLEDs is this: what advantages does using PH green going to provide in the TV realm beyond reduced power consumption? Will the picture quality be THAT much better utlizing PH green that it will be a selling point for Samsung and they would want to spend the extra material $$ on PH green and hosts?  I have seen the S4 and the S3 side by side, and to be honest I do not see a huge difference between the two displays during normal use.  Would the differences be more dramatic with a larger screen (i.e. 55 inches) while watching movies, shows, etc.?

In smartphones, tablets, laptops it makes sense, less power consumption is vital for those devices. But for a TV I leave plugged in, would 25% better power consumption really make someone buy a TV?  I know it wouldn't for me. We are talking about tens of dollars a year.

Looking forward to hearing others thoughts on this.
