LED light bulbs are the future. They're better for the environment and the pocket book. But for some people, certain LEDs lights — particularly holiday lights—are also a problem. They flicker in a way that causes headaches, nausea and other discomfort. Today, we visit the "Flicker Queen" to learn why LEDs flicker — and what you can do about it.Wondering about other quirks of lighting and engineering?

i thought i read something about a new blue oled (pholed) that was supposed to bring it into some parity with the other 2 in the oled space… so that may not be a source of ‘less blue’ in the future
I looked into it, thanks for the heads up. https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/what-is-pholed/
My guess is that companies want to call themselves OLED and charge those prices while giving an inferior light source. People will spend the money and not get the value from it, the gorgeous colors they can’t get to.
OLED is for better contrast and refresh rate than LCD . There is nothing about the technology that makes its blues “better” than a blue LCD filter.
You’re right, OLED has great reds and LEDs don’t. Thank you for clarifying that.
There is no difference in color accuracy for any colors between a high end LCD and high end OLED. OLED looks better because of contrast, not because a color is more accurate.

BS, sorry. That’s based on color standards that don’t mean anything. If you’re in the business, you know that’s true. Why do you care what I think?
Scientifically reproducible tests don’t mean anything?
If you prefer the colors of a particular tv, or phone screen, that’s fine. But that’s not a claim of color accuracy. Accuracy requires measurement, not an opinion.
