On this episode of The Front Row Podcast, we’re joined by Bruce Walker, Product Evangelist for TCL North America, for a deep dive into where TV technology is today and where it might be headed next.

Bruce breaks down everything from traditional LCD panels to SQD Mini LED technology and the new RGB Mini LED TVs that are starting to hit the market. We talk about how light moves through the panel stack, why color volume has suddenly become such a huge focus, and how screen sizes continue getting bigger year after year.

One of the more interesting parts of the discussion centers around a pretty simple question: has traditional QLED basically hit the ceiling, and is RGB the industry’s next move because there’s nowhere else to go? Or is there still more performance left in the tank through technologies like SQD Mini LED, which is the direction TCL is currently pursuing? We also get into the advantages and trade-offs of both approaches and what these technologies are actually trying to solve.

And of course, we couldn’t end the episode without throwing Bruce a few bonus questions, including what he thinks is the biggest inefficiency in LCD today and the most overrated TV spec currently being marketed. 

If you’re into display technology or just curious about where TV technology might be headed next, this is definitely one worth listening to.
