Theoretically it should be better in every way, now whether the first model is or not we shall see.Well done to Samsung, great to hear Micro LED coming to the market.
It will be very interesting to see how it compares to Oled.
QLED PLUSThe real question is what on earth will they call it now they've already used various forms of "LED" to market LCD's with LED backlights. They can hardly come out and admit that actually it was all just marketing lies and now please buy the real deal.

I thought thought the whole point of Micro LED was a LED for each pixel.Even more confusingly, if I understand correctly, there are two possibilities for micro-LED - true 'per pixel' colour LEDs and micro-LED as a high resolution local-dimming backlight for an LCD panel. Potential for consumer confusion, (or willful misdirection) is huge!

If this is indeed the case then this goes straight back to being an interesting technology again. Whatever happened to Sony's crystal LED I wonder. I've also thought why not resurrect back projection but instead of actually projecting onto a screen instead use an optical pathway array to deliver laser illumination from a central source directly to the pixel panels.Further to my note above, speculating around 10,000 LEDs per LED chip, I've just found the following in:
An introduction to MicroLED; a new self-emitting display technology - FlatpanelsHD
"MicroLEDs are extremely small, typically 1/10th the width of a human hair, which makes it possible to deposit them as a pixel array onto a substrate to make a display."
I'd say it's quite likely that Samsung are talking about a matrix of 2600 LED "arrays" rather than 2600 LEDs. Only that would make any sense to me. If that's true, then they are talking about the real thing.
I thought thought the whole point of Micro LED was a LED for each pixel.
The report states that a 4k panel may use 2600 micro leds, thus it sounds like a normal LCD with more local dimming zones.
With 2600 micro LEDs, it will be better than present LED LCD TVs but still not able to match OLEDS pixel by pixel control of the picture.
Time will tell
It only has to get close. If it can provide 95% of the black performance of OLED via 2600 local dimming 'zones' then that'll be enough for the vast majority of consumers.
OLED's only advantages are black performance and wider viewing angles. As soon as LCD tech gets within a few percent of the black performance, OLED's days are numbered.
OLED's advantages: Black performance and wider viewing angles, I take that any day over an LCD
OLED has been hugely successful for LG Display.OLED is almost like a stop-gap technology. The LED/LCD market was getting over saturated, so LG wanted something to seperate themselves from it. Sure, it's been moderately successful for them, especially once other manufacturers joined in, but LG have had to spend hundreds of millions to develop the technology, and they've likely not made much actual money from it. but let's be realistic, OLED in its current form is reaching the limit of it's capability. Will OLED ever get >1000 nits brightness, or can it be shrunk to work at 8k? Maybe Samsung were onto something when they decided not to join the OLED party. I'd say MicroLED, once it reaches mass market and is cheaper than OLED but without any of it's limitations will probably kill it.
Just as long you are happy but an LCD would be Would be useless in my environment(chocolate fireguard )Horses for courses. Viewing angles are irrelevant to me and I'll take 90% of the black performance in exchange for no issues with banding, near-black performance, image retention or limited brightness thanks very much.
