LG's New Four-Stack OLED: A Bright Future for TVs

CES 2025 is buzzing with new tech, and LG's latest OLED TVs are stealing the show. The company is ditching its Micro Lens Array (MLA) panels for a new four-stack OLED design. This might seem like a step back, but LG promises it's a big leap forward. The new panels are supposedly 40% brighter than last year's models, reaching up to 2, 000 nits. Panasonic and possibly Sony are also hopping on this trend. But what does this mean for you? Well, it could be the peak of premium TV design. So, what's a four-stack OLED panel? It's basically a fancy way of saying LG is stacking more OLED layers in its panels. This isn't new, but LG is adding an extra layer and some special materials to make the TVs brighter and more colorful. Panasonic is doing something similar with its new flagship TV, the Z95B. They're even using a cool new cooling system inspired by race cars to prevent burn-in. These changes could make your favorite OLED TVs even better. The new panels are supposed to be brighter and more energy-efficient. But we'll have to wait and see if LG's claims hold up. Samsung is also upgrading its QD-OLEDs with a five-stack design. So, which tech is better? Only time will tell.
