News & Reviews:   micro-LED

Are you looking for a new TV? Chances are you have been visiting a few Home Expos around Kuala Lumpur or third-party stores and getting bombarded by all the different types of display labels. You have Samsung's QLED, LG's QNED, and there's also the OLED TV, so it can get pretty confusing for the average consumer.

Well, no worries. This is what you're here for, to understand the basics and how to differentiate each type. Comparing the Malaysian market and other foreign countries, ours is thankfully not that cluttered yet since it takes a while for the latest technology to come here. Without further ado, let's begin.

For those unaware, it was rumoured last year that Apple was looking to develop an Apple Watch with a Micro LED display. This would be a larger display than previous Apple Watch models and is expected to be a new Apple Watch Ultra. However, it may no longer be happening.

Remember the transparent display showcased at this year's CES 2024? Well, it's possible we might see them in actual products sooner than expected. Specifically, a laptop sporting a transparent display.

The Samsung Galaxy Watch smartwatches have long been a favourite for many tech fans. They're feature-rich and sport high-end hardware, including an AMOLED display. However, the company could opt for a Micro LED display for a specific model in the future.

Earlier today, Samsung held a virtual conference to talk about its new smart TVs for 2021. Besides the Neo QLED TVs, the company also talked about its new consumer Micro LED TVs. It's available in 88-inch, 99-inch and 110-inch models, with a 76-inch model slated for later this year.

Samsung has recently announced earlier today that they have unveiled several new products including the Neo QLED, MICRO LED, The Frame, as well as The Premiere starting from the price of RM8499, RM519999, RM2999, and RM24999 respectively. The displays are expected to be available sometime in the near future from all Samsung official store, as well as participating partners located across Malaysia.

Back in March, well-known Apple analyst Kuo Ming-Chi predicted that the company could be developing up to six new products featuring mini-LED panels. And it looks like the prediction may not be off the mark. A new report claims that Apple could be ready to invest big into LED panel factories in Taiwan, with the estimated sum at NTD 10 billion (~RM1.43 billion).
