The arrival of flat televisions totally changed the panorama of the sector. Yes, a few years ago we had at home those characteristic tube models, the size of which made you need a large piece of furniture to support its weight. But, the new Smart TVs are much thinner than these early models.
Yes, the CRT has passed to a better life and, after the transition from plasma to LCD and OLED , we have two main players in the smart TV market. Each technology has its advantages and disadvantages, but panels made of organic light-emitting diodes are characterized by being much thinner than their competitors.
OLED Smart TVs are the thinnest
Why are OLED televisions so much thinner than an LED or QLED model? Well the reason lies in its technology. As you may have read, the term OLED is the acronym for organic English light-emitting diodes. Or what is the same: each pixel of this type of screen is characterized by being illuminated autonomously.
With this, purer blacks are achieved. More than anything because lighting a pixel independently does not affect the other pixels around it. And the other great advantage is that it does not need a light panel to provide more light. Therefore, the OLED screens on the one hand are thinner than an LED panel due to the technology it incorporates.
In addition, it is not necessary to add a layer of lights behind the OLED panel to illuminate the pixels, making them also much thinner and lighter. If you take a Smart TV with this technology, and an LED model, you will notice a difference in weight and thickness that is quite remarkable.
Why are OLED models more expensive?
Obviously, this reduction in weight and increase in image quality comes at a price. If you already comb the occasional gray hair, you will remember the moment when plasma screens faced the new LCD TVs. And the price difference was abysmal. The reason is very simple: with the passage of time, the production costs are significantly reduced, which generates a decrease in the price when it reaches the market.
OLED technology is really new, so the whole process of making a panel is still noticeably more expensive. Not to mention the fact that, although more and more manufacturers are jumping on the bandwagon, LG is currently the only firm with the capacity to produce screens of these dimensions.
But, in exchange you can enjoy the thinnest Smart TVs on the market , as well as surprising image quality. Are you a chain gamer? The low latency of these panels make an OLED model the best ally for your console. Now that the advantages have been made clear, let’s see what the slimmest models on the market are.
