QD-OLED TVs, a new panel technology that combines the advantages of OLED TVs with those of QLED TVs, may still be in its infancy, but it is about to take a giant leap forward

According to FlatPanelsHD (opens in new tab), citing The Elec of Korea, Samsung Display has received machinery that will enable it to manufacture 8K QD-OLED panels

The machine, nicknamed "Jarvis," is a G85 inkjet solution for mass production of QD-OLED displays, according to manufacturer Kateeva These displays will eventually be used in 8K TVs and high-resolution monitors [In fact, Samsung Display has yet to officially announce its production plans for 8K QD-OLED TVs So how do we know if we will get 8K QD-OLED TVs? We are not buying a $145 billion machine to make it look good in a factory

As you've probably noticed, there isn't much native 8K content available these days; the only way to really see 8K content is to download it onto a USB stick and plug it into the back of your 8K TV

However, there will come a time when that will change As TVs get larger and less expensive, they will need higher resolution to preserve image detail Also, more colorful, higher contrast televisions will be required

The solution? 8K QD-OLEDs

It is difficult to predict how soon QD-OLEDs will be available and, more importantly, how much they will cost The only two QD-OLED TVs available today, the Samsung S95B OLED and the Sony A95K OLED, are not cheap, but their 65-inch versions are not much more expensive than traditional OLED TVs If future 8K models are as well, they may be perfectly affordable and ready for the living room in a few years
