Now that there are 4K OLED televisions, can picture quality get any better? Have we achieved perfection? If so, where do we go from here? Here's a list of next steps.<\/p>\n

We've been saying for a while that OLED TVs offer the best picture quality ever, with infinite contrast ratios and perfect black levels that put plasma and LCD to shame. We'd worried that 4K\/Ultra HD OLED would be too expensive to bring to market, but LG did it anyway. <\/p>\n
So now that we have 4K OLED TVs available for sale, albeit for fiv figures, what's next? If this marriage of contrast and resolution creates such a perfect image, is the race over? Has the picture quality Holy Grail been discovered? <\/p>\n
That's a pretty good question, actually. <\/p>\n
Reader Caleb Munyasya asked it like this: \"Is 4K OLED the end of the road for improving our TV experience? Because realistically speaking, there must be a limit to TV quality. If we combine 4K and OLED will it truly ever get better than that?\" <\/p>\n
I've gotten similar emails over the years, a bunch around the launch of Blu-ray for example, unsure why we needed BD when DVD was clearly the best we'd ever need. Caleb's question is a fair one, though. We've been saying contrast was king for years, and OLED's contrast IS king. <\/p>\n
Mix that with the excessive pixel density of 4K, which exceeds the limits of human visual acuity at standard seating distances, and it's quite an attractive combo. <\/p>\n
So let's take a look at a few of the ways our TVs (and TV system) can improve for an even better picture. A wish list, if you will, of our picture quality dreams. <\/p>\n
Right now we're still pretty light on the OLED front. Only LG is making a serious push. We'll hopefully see more at CES 2015, but for right now, LG is it. We want more companies, and bigger, cheaper, better TVs... you know, the usual. <\/p>\n
