This new panel has optimised a new luminous element which increases the panel brightness, using newly developed and highly efficient materials as well as the addition of a layer to the display, which presumably increases the peak brightness performance for HDR content.
Lol - guess who's just bought a GX? I'm guessing that the G1 is not that much brighter as they didn't give any stats (e.g. 20% brighter). As for improved colours, I didn't think there was any issue with that on the 2019/2020 range.
Great stuff, if this G1 panel is what Sony are getting, this is a great advancement. Look forward to seeing them in the flesh
It’s a shame Sony are not bringing out the A90 in 77”. So it appears everyone is doing something a bit like Panasonic but Sony may be doing more?The custom/Evo panels will go ~20% brighter, that's been covered in other articles. And in the case of the Sony A90J at least (The LG articles are light on details from LG themselves), it can boost W+R+G+B sub-pixels, whereas even the Panasonic GZ/HZ/JZ2000 models only boost the white sub-pixel, so this could be a nice upgrade for one of WRGB OLED's biggest weaknesses; colour volume. I don't expect it to suddenly fix the issue, just having the white sub-pixel there hinders volume significantly, but every little helps.
Only the C1 is getting the 83" panel, but without the heatsink/temperature monitoring stuff that the Sony has, so the A90J is the only OLED choice really (so far) for anyone wanting an 83" OLED with the best/brightest panel.
Can't say the LG launch has me excited anywhere near as much as Sony's, plus if there isn't a normal cabinet stand for the G1, then that rules it out for me, so still looks like it's the A90J for me.

We were all at the same briefing and all given the same vague information on the technical aspects of the OLED EVO panels. However, I expect there to be a further UK launch event in the near future where we will be given more information and access to engineers before these TVs are released for review/sale. I suspect it is similar to the Sony A90J, but until that is clarified and confirmed, it is all speculation at the moment.Hopefully, Vincent or someone from this forum can provide more clarification on the EVO panel / G1. Is this same as A90J?
I think the A90J will be serious contender for brightest OLED.That's what I'm thinking, LGD make this new evo panel and LG/Sony are going to use it on their flagships. There might be confusion (and rightly so...and in their favour) that this is their attempt to copy the Panasonics custom panel, but it sounds like a completely different tech being used.
Also explains why what seemed a strange statement from Panasonic now makes more sense - the JZ2000 is touted by Panasonic as being the only TV in 2021 to have as high a peak brightness with HDR
Hopefully, and hopefully some clarification soon, is the Sony using the same as the LG or Panasonic. It’s all a positive step forward either way..I think the A90J will be serious contender for brightest OLED.
