Speaking of backlights, the “Micro RGB” TV backlight Samsung featured last night is interesting—surely achieving 100% Rec.2020 color gamut is of interest for displays. As I understand it, it is a MicroLED backlight with three lights per zone. I wonder how quickly this could make it into a display?
Update: HKC is announcing a display with their “RGB Mini-LED” which is the same idea.

Is this "Micro RGB" TV a 4K TV? If yes, then it has ~34 PPI ... If that is the state of the art, then it will certainly take another 5 years to achieve MicroLED resolutions of 160 PPI, or 8 years for 220 PPI.
It’s a *backlight* for an LCD panel. The PPI of the panel is a variable. Note update to my post above with HKC 32" 4K with similar technology, 4,788 lights in 1,596 zones. So this is already in displays.
I have to imagine Apple would be looking at this for the next Pro Display.
Where exactly did you get the information that it is supposed to be a backlight? The linked article doesn't mention anything about a “backlight,” and a backlight doesn't make sense with MicroLED because they are self-illuminating RGB LED pixels.
If a 4K panel has only 1,595 zones, even with 3 colours per zone, the LEDs are only backlights. They would illuminate clusters of 5,200 pixels, not be the individual pixels themselves. You would need 8.3 million zones for them to constitute individual pixels.
That was my mistake (leaping from “Micro RGB” to “Micro LED”) — apologies — I’m still trying to find/remember where I saw it discussed as a backlight technology, maybe Samsung’s presentation or TFT Central?
Do you know where you confirmed this? I’m worried I might have gotten it mixed up with the news about the HKC M10 Ultra.
Unless Samsung is using the terminology differently this year, there have been several different articles describing Micro RGB as a backlight technology for LCD TVs.
Yes saw the HKC but no idea if that will ever come to the UK. These Samsung displays still don't have their backlighting tech stated, I assume they are just normal, they all seem to be matt too.
Dell just announced a 52" 6K

Would be interested in the actual real resolution since it's an ultrawide
edit: It's 6,144 x 2,560 so Dell is cheating

That is not “cheating”. That is how the terminology works.Dell just announced a 52" 6K

More important is the pixel density, which is a low 129 ppi.
Is it?
I'm not sure there is a specific rule, HD (720p) / Full HD (1080p) used to be about vertical pixel density, now it seems more about marketing.
Many brands that do ultrawide screens do not use misleading terms like this, Samsung for example on their 5120 x 1440 panels is advertising "Double QHD" and not 5k

Yes.
Many companies call them 5K, as does most of the popular press. And 2K and 4K refer to the horizontal resolutions too.
This is extremely wishful thinking IMO. The same size/resolution LCD versions (i.e. widescreen 40" 5k2k) were $1800 for the 40WP95C when released back in 2022 and currently the 40U990A. No way a much nicer OLED version with far better contrast and much higher refresh rates isn't more than that. It's going to be $2000 and if you told me $2500 I'd believe you.
I live in the UK, 1500 is about right, their LCD Black 39” 5K2K is 1400 here.
The current model is 1400 pounds or dollars? The current model in the US, the 40U990A, is $1800.
Pounds, http://www.lg.com/uk/monitors/uhd-4...aSdXhOmuxwOMrOFwbPhluWHd91zntXjeVioD9m2JOBp1Z
Was 1500 retail.
So, even higher than the $1800 here in the US.
The OLED is going to be at least $2000 and I won't believe otherwise unless announced by LG.
@anthonymoody There is 20% tax = ~£280 included in that price, so the equivalent is ~£1120 to compare with the quoted USD figure.
In the US the price shown does *not* include tax and is added to your order when you check out. Tax amount depends on the State in the US. In NY where I am it's about $160. So, $1960.
