The Philips workshop led by Danny Tack was first an opportunity for the brand to return to the Meta 3.0 technology based on the new Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels.
Meta 3.0, the Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels made by Philips££££
Curiously, while LG Display announces a peak brightness of 4,000 nits for its Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels (click on the link above), Philips remains cautious and sticks to the value revealed by LG Display to some hand-picked customers, already, at CES 2024: 3,700 nits (see our news (UPDATE) CES 25 > LG G5 Oled TV: target 4,000 nits). If Philips appears to be the lesser bidder on the luminous peak, the brand is on the other hand the better bidder on the brightness in APL100% configuration (must have a completely white screen) with 350 nits, against 300 nits hoped for/mentioned at the time of the CES show at LG Electronics (see our news LG G5 Evo/M5 Evo, zoom on the Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels).
The other specifications of the Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels are in line with those obtained at the CES show, namely a four-layer structure red, blue, green and blue (with new blue emitting material with deuterium sauce), 83% coverage of the Rec.2020 gamut, 99.5% of DCI-P3 and a 20% reduction in energy consumption ceteris paribus to the Meta 2.0/MLA panels. Philips has provided some additional details on the new Vanta polarizer that equips the Meta 3.0 TV panels. The reflectance ratio has been reduced from 0.9 to 0.6, preserving the sharpness and color accuracy of images displayed in abundant ambient light settings.
Philips OLED760 and Philips OLED810, peak light APL 100% and APL 3%££££
This workshop also made it possible to know the light values of the 55", 65"" and 77" models of the Philips OLED810 series vintage 2025 for a 100% APL (entire white screen) and APL 3% (light window occupying 3% of the surface area of a black screen), compared to those of the OLED809 series vintage 2024. Were noted, respectively, 200 nits (same as the 2024 models) and 1,500 nits (compared to 1,300 nits in 2024). For the 42" and 48" specimens, these values are capped at 1,000 nits and 150 nits.
Philips OLED950, the difference is visible to the naked eye££££
All these developments are visible to the naked eye when comparing the 2024 vintage premium Oled model, the Philips OLED959 and its 2025 vintage replacement, the Philips OLED950.
In 100% APL configuration (above) and 10% APL (below), the white displayed is truly significantly brighter (the photos taken with the smartphone do not fully do justice to the visual difference perceptible between the two televisions).
As indicated in our previous news, the Meta 3.0 process and the associated Oled Primary RGB Tandem panels are embedded in the Philips OLED910 and Philips OLED950 TV series.
