Nothing wrong with Woled as long as its a MLA panel.
I've been trying to find specs on the S90D woled panel to no avail. Internet comments seem to suggest no MLA.
I was talking Woled panels in general, LG I think are the only manufacturer with MLA.
LG supply Samsung with the woled panel. I doubt it is, but it could be MLA.
MLA WOLED screens like the LG G4 are fantastic.
Samsung don't use MLA in their screens unfortunately.What's MLA my good man?
Micr lens array, millions or billions of microscopic lenses.
My Large Arse.
You usually get that after buying the tv
W OLED….. No thank you… Puts product back on shelf
Hey all, what is w-oled and the potential concern?
Wannabe-oled as the youngins would say..
Honestly no clue what it is, here for the captain to arrive.
The 42-inch, 48-inch, and 83-inch models use WOLED panels. - according to rtings
Previous post seems to suggest all S90D is AUS is WOLED.

A friend just bought the 77 S90D and it is WOLED, if the part number is correlated to the panel type.
From RTings:
Overall, QD-OLED seems to be on a path to being declared the winner, but there are still some noticeable downsides. If you often watch TV in a bright room, the superior reflection handling and higher peak brightness of pure whites on WOLED panels make them a clear winner.
Its only higher peak nits for whites with MLA on W-OLED. Which this model doesnt have. Obviously for colour its a big difference… W-OLED maxes out at 350nits, but most colours wont be near that. Where QDOLED is over double.
RTings seem to recommend the G4 OLED vs S90D or S95D in this video. Sounds like the Samsung S95D has thermal throttling issues & because of the anti-glare filter, blacks are raised/have purplish tinge…
S90D $3,600
G4 OLED $7,000I think the S90D is the definite buy
This whole W-OLED vs QD-OLED argument is quite amusing. QD-OLED is so overrated. I have an S95B and A80J in the house and Sony’s picture quality trumps Samsung IMO. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with W-OLED.
The S95B has technically has better specs, but your experience is your own/subjective. You could try some more accurate settings like this, https://www.avsforum.com/threads/s95b-settings-thread.325303…
You’re absolutely right, the S95B should look better but it doesn’t. I used RTINGS picture settings. I’m convinced it’s the PQ EOTF Tracking because it seems too dark on all content (consists with RTINGS claims).
I would definitely try l337's settings, they're a collaboration with many folk on AVSforums and continue to update if there are firmware updates (which did change PQ tracking). RTINGs seems very blanket changes to their initial setup only.
LG's G series W-OLED with the MLA technology is probably going to give better "real world usage" results than QD-OLED, although they are very expensive.
So how does one get on the EPP list?
Much like the brand itself, it’s actually quite a joke. There’s no way of knowing which companies qualify as their “partner” without signing up and getting accepted or rejected. You would think a simple list might help but nah, not with Samsung’s logic.
what does W-OLED mean
White OLED which refers to the sub-pixel type. QD-OLED replaces this with a blue sub-pixel.

There are pros and cons to both approaches… with MLA from LG stepping things up in the WOLED category last year to.
After reviewing the specifications for each TV, it is more sensible to consider the refresh rate rather than just the model number alphabet difference. If the refresh rate is 144Hz, then it's QD-OLED; if it's 120Hz, then it's WOLED.
It's a size Samsung produce, so I would imagine not, but sadly this apparently needs to be examined in each individual market (at least according to current reporting).
