One reason why LG Electronics seem to be able to differentiate themselves in the OLED market is that they have a sufficient level of vertical integration.
- LG electronics has sufficient economies scale in the TV business to build their own LG1213 (alpha series of TV SoC's) system on chip which designed to support the processing required for 8K TV's and 4 HDMI 2.1 Ports. This SoC is re-used across their top range 4K OLED line.
All the other players (Samsung, Panasonic , Sony and surprisingly including Samsung) seem to use chipsets from the usual suspects such as MediaTek.
- Monitor manufactures such as ASUS have to use Novatek (NT68552 of ROG 42 OLED) SoC's for HDMI 2.1 + DP 1.4 support.
- The Dell AW3423DW from what I understand uses an Nvidia Gsync R4 SoC hence is crappy input options.
- I suspect the volumes in the top end monitor SoC is no where as big as TV's hence the slow pace of innovation there.
The most disappointing thing is. It seems like RTX 4000 series is still stuck with DP 1.4 . I suspect HDMI 2.1 far earlier release (2019) has pretty much killed a lot of the original target market for DP 2.0.
