2023 was supposed to be the year for OLED TVs, and yet, eight months in, I'm feeling a little bit let down. Second-generation QD-OLEDs from Samsung and MLA-equipped OLED panels courtesy of LG were destined to revolutionise OLED TVs with enhanced brightness, improved contrast and punchier colours, and while I can't deny that those objectives have been achieved at least somewhat, it's somehow still not quite the pivotal year for OLEDs that I had envisioned.
Taking us back to March of this year, things started strong, with the LG G3 scooping up five stars thanks to its supreme image quality. LG delivered on the promise of higher brightness and introduced more vibrant highlights than ever seen before on an OLED TV. So why am I grumbling about it being a disappointing year for OLEDs if it started so strong? Well, it just so happens that almost everything that's come after it has been a bit of a letdown in some way or another.
