2020, Hisense could upset the market.. with Light Modulated VA panel..
Hisense's new -ULED-XD- line.
-OLED like black levels,
-LCD lvl brightness (Oled simply will never match LCD brightness, EVER),
-NO white dots (oled fake brightness booster).
-Quantum dye (WIde Gamut),
-Extreme Motion clarity. (Lightboost/ULMB) !!
Right now Oled can do Peak 600nits, this is using White boosted pixels, which means to reach that brightness, the Oled is actually color casting white over the actual pixel color.
Hisense's Modulated VA will not have to do that. It will be able to do 1000 nit+ allegedly 2900nit possible w/ current power constraints. Importantly, it can deliver that highlight peak w/ COLOR, not just white.
Above 1000nit is still not as easy and straightforward because we're talking REALLY HOT TVs.. probably needs active cooling, Dolby pulsar monitors were water-cooled @ 4000nit.
Even then, 1000nit is already eye melting brightness. 2000nit would be icing on the cake, but it's not absolutely necessary.
Most HDR content is mastered to 1000nit. We won't need 1000+ for a very long time.
Comes down to price, if they can bring this tech out @ $1000-1500, Unstoppable.
The hardest part of this process according to Hisense is the Custom controller which needs to control 2 seperate cells in 2 different panels simultaneously, AND a precision bonding process to MATE 2 different panels.
