Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

And in the past, those lights, the whole backlight,

is one color, usually white.

So backlight, and then in front of that is a filter, a quantum dot filter in some cases, which then reimagines that color, that white light, into the various colors of the color gamut.

Now, in the case of LG, their OLED technology is self-illuminating, so they don't have a backlight, which is, not to digress too much, which is why OLEDs really, they can't really compete in terms of brightness with LED TVs because LED TVs have a backlight.

So OLED TVs rely on the self-illuminating material, though LG somehow have improved the brightness of their TVs.

They look incredible.

But in terms of LED, even LG has a range of RGB TVs as well because OLED is obviously their flagship technology, but...

They used to have the QNED TVs, which were the quantum dot TVs.

Now they've moved into mini LED and, in particular, micro RGB technology.

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

So each company has its own form of RGB technology.

Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

So now what happens with these new TVs, rather than having just a single color backlight and the color filter โ€“

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

they are now producing color at the backlight level.

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

So RGB, each of the little mini cells, the light cells that form the backlight,

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

now have a red, green, and blue cell that each one is individually controlled.

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

So they're creating not only the light, the backlight, but the color at the same time.

Two Blokes Talking Tech

And by doing that, so you're removing a layer of filtration.

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

There's a filter there in previous times.

Two Blokes Talking Tech
Tech Guide #689 - It's TV season and every company has new RGB technology

And removing that layer means there's less of a barrier between the color created and the viewer.

And so as a result, the RGB TVs can produce far more accurate color, full-bodied color, and just give you a better sense of accuracy as well about those colors as well.

And so that's the basics of the technology.
