Official OLED Q&A Thread

[Robert Zohn]

I wanted to answer some unanswered questions and issues pertaining to OLED TVs. From reading several other forums I've found some unanswered and incomplete information, which I will put here so we can discuss this topic with clarity and accuracy.

Most of the questions are related to LG's current and new 4K Ultra HD OLED TVs. One unanswered or incorrectly answered questions is in regard to the undefeatable noise reduction circuitry (assuming LG does not correct this with a firmware fix) how it will look on the upcoming 65EC9700 4K OLED display. Here's the actual answer:

I first asked David Mackenzie who explained that assuming the same code is used from the 55EC9300 for the 65EC9700 how much noise reduction we can see on the 4K version depends on if the noise reduction processing is applied before the scaling to 4K or after the image is scaled. If the noise reduction is processed before the image is scaled the loss of resolution will be noticeable and if the noise reduction is applied after the image is scaled to 4K the noise reduction will be barely noticeable.

Of course, all of this is a non-issue if you sit 6' or further from the 65" screen as even Superman could not see the very minimal digital noise reduction that is undefeatable when the value is set to low.

Now here's the good news, from what I am told; digital noise reduction processing is done post scaling.

I'll post a few more popular questions that I may be able to add value to with the accurate answers shortly.

Any questions or comments?
