The newPhilips OLED+908 TVisn’t just one of thebest OLED TVswith Philips' Ambilight technology. It’s also a glimpse into the future of OLED TV.
The panels are called WOLED panels with MLA. The W stands for white light, which is beamed through colour filters for better contrast, and MLA means Micro Lens Array, which means there’s a layer of microscopic lenses on top of the OLED pixels. MLA TVs are generally brighter than non-MLA ones.
Samsung’s QD-OLEDs are getting better too
Reflectivity is the bane of many TVs, including mine: I have to position the reading light next to me just-so if I don’t want to see a rainbow stripe running diagonally across my Samsung mini-LED. But it’s even more of an issue for OLED, which can be a problem in brightly lit rooms.
Samsung Display, which like LG Display makes panels for multiple firms, has announced that its 2023 QD-OLED panels will feature a new anti-reflective coating with a multi-layer reflection reduction mechanism. As with LG’s panels, less reflectivity means a much clearer picture. Samsung moved its production of all panels to the improved technology in late 2022.
Samsung also says that this year’s panels will have a more natural tone – some 2022 models had a slight reddish tint – and much smoother blacks too.

Whether it’s an LG panel or a Samsung one, these are really significant improvements, especially for more social watching in brighter rooms. For now it’s limited to more premium TVs, such as the new Philips and theLG G3, but the improvements will be coming to OLEDs of all sizes in the coming months.
