Where are you getting that number from? I know from testing that the ZT60 could deliver 98% of Rec. 709, it can't get anywhere near DCI-P3.My ZT60 plasma from 3 years ago can do 98% DCI P3 (although absolutely useless since it doesn't work with UHD Blurays) so hardly impressive, LCD's have literally no hope of getting close to Rec 2020.
Well it was a Samsung demo that I went to at IFA but it's still a valid technology and worth explaining. If we do an article about OLED, is that an advert for LG?Not sure if this an advertisement for Samsung Quantum Dot TVs. Other manufacturers currently are not interested in Quantum dot only Samsung are making noises about them. The Sony ZD9 does not use Quantum dot but it's regarded as the best in the market and has higher brightness than Samsung Quantum TV.
I replied in the other thread but I'd be surprised if they can get to 98% of Rec. 2020 by next year, that seems like a big jump. However wider colour gamuts and brighter panels are definitely their end goal, as a way of competing with OLED.Superb as always.
Funny just asked you in the wide color gamut thread about an article I read. Samsung apparently to hit 98percent of rec2020 in 2017 thanks probably to this technology. Let us know if you think this could be realistic and (excuse the question) if we have enough content for this kind of colour coverage ? This is exciting times and looks like oled will have a serious competition ahead

Actually Samsung were calling their quantum dot 'nano crystal' back in 2015 but switched to calling it quantum dot again this year when they realised no-one had any idea what nano crystal meant!Samsung and friends started using it 2015 models and used Quantum Dot branding.
I was going off of the Panasonic specifications:Where are you getting that number from? I know from testing that the ZT60 could deliver 98% of Rec. 709, it can't get anywhere near DCI-P3.
30,720 Gradation steps, DCI 98% colour space

Fair enough. I agree that the deeper blacks on an OLED or plasma gives the image a greater sense depth and solidity but LCD panels are getting better, the blacks on the Sony ZD9 look very impressive.I was going off of the Panasonic specifications:
Although even if true useless for consumer use, still regardless of how wide the colour gamuts on LCD's are there is still something that just doesn't have the same punch as plasma or OLED, they just look slightly washed out IMO.
Very interesting article but am I the only one who finds these constant developments slightly depressing? A TV is a big investment and certainly in the past you would expect to own the same one for up to 10 years or more before replacing it assuming it didn't break. Now is seems that every six months or so there is another advance promising more colours and deeper blacks. A 10 year old TV is an antique. How much more colour can there be? How much more black can black get? In the words of Nigel Tufnel, none, none more black.
I've not had a chance to see one yet but I certainly like the look of the specs just a shame it wasn't the full fledged CLED they showed a few years back.Fair enough. I agree that the deeper blacks on an OLED or plasma gives the image a greater sense depth and solidity but LCD panels are getting better, the blacks on the Sony ZD9 look very impressive.
I thought they were mutually exclusive technologies but perhaps not.Could Quantum Dot be used with OLED or are they mutually exclusive technologies? As some of the advantages of Quantum Dot would help OLED.
Good to know there's still some of these knocking around. Had the 50" version myself and feel like a bit of a numpty having to sell it two years ago.Agreed. Does seem to be new model with a new or improved display or connection every time you turn around.
Hopefully a couple years more life in my LG 60PK590 yet. Enough time for things to settle down a bit anyway.
