LG Opens Door to ‘Better Pixels’ With Quantum Dot 4KTV

TV as we know it doesn’t cover the same color range as the human eye. LG is taking a step closer to display technology that covers more of it.

LG says quantum dot technology displays a “wider color palette and improved color saturation than conventional LCD TVs.”

Quantum Dot technology could be a great boon to LCD screens. Essentially they can be made to emit much better color points than the currently used filters/backlights. They are pretty close to achieving the new Rec 2020 color spec for the UHD Blu-Ray.

Quantum Dot technology will improve bright colors, but it's not going to help with black levels. OLED still rules!
