How the movies releasing in 2023 fits in the MCU?

Upcoming Marvel Movies

There are a few series in the pipeline for the year 2023, covering the narrative of Marvel phase 5, including Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse animated series that will be releasing on June 2, 2023. The amalgamated idea of all the movies and series coming out under Marvel Phase 5 is to bridge and sync Marvel Phase 4 and Marvel Phase six to keep the stories moving forward. With exploring new realms and plotting the superhero in saving the multiverse can be a coherent idea via teaming up Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica together, Discovering the new head for the galaxy, and Ant-man and the wasp with their extended team discovering the new realm and energies. This can only excite us more for the upcoming Marvel Phase 6 it will catastrophically engage the audience.

QLED vs. OLED: What’s the Difference and Which is the Best TV Technology & Picture Quality?

OLED vs QLED – Which is the Best TV to Buy?

Two fundamentally different TV technologies, QLED and OLED, have similar names that happens & creates confusion for the customer. If you’re buying a new TV, you’ll want to know the differences between each one which is a genuine concern as a buyer.

OLED beats QLED, but you can save some money with QLED.

When you are making a new house or the when there are tv deals during holiday shopping season the best thing is to upgrade your tv technology. The best tvs shoe extra features like HDR, 120Hz &HDMI 2.1 many TVs include all of these plus are available at the best tv deals making it tough to tell the difference when deciding what tv to buy.

Unlike the rest of those TV tech terms, QLED and OLED are actually fundamentally different, even though they’re only one letter apart.

The confusion as a consumer, however, can be too much with the different versions of television displays available in the market today. If you too are confused about which is better OLED or QLED or LED, in this article, we have TV technology explained with proper reasoning about the best TV to buy as a consumer. So, let’s get into it.

TV Technology Explained – OLED, QLED and Other Screen Types

To understand the difference between OLED and QLED television displays or any other current form of TV display technology, we need to first understand that every TV screen is made of tiny particles called pixels. These display pixels combine the three primary colours to form the images we see on the screen. So, when we talk about display type in television, we are actually talking about the different ways in which these pixels can be formed and lit up using software and hardware improvements.

After many transformations from CRT to LCD displays, the use of LEDs which is Light Emitting Diode was finally introduced to improve power efficiency. So, an LED TV is basically just an LCD TV where the LED is used as a light source for the LCD display. LED TVs have different forms depending on whether the arrangement of the LED light bulbs is around or behind the LCD TV. These different arrangements of light bulbs are actually the different display versions we see in the market, i.e. ULED, QLED, Nano cell and LED TVs.

OLED, on the other hand, is a different innovation and is an improvement from all LCD-based screen types we discussed above.

QLED vs. OLED: General

QLED vs. OLED

Current state of TV Tech

* OLED stands for “organic light-emitting diode.”
* QLED (according to Samsung) stands for “quantum dot LED TV.”
* OLED is a fundamentally different technology from LCD, the major type of TV.
* QLED is a variation of LED LCD, adding a quantum dot film to the LCD “sandwich.”
* OLED is “emissive,” meaning the pixels emit their own light.
* QLED, like LCD, is “transmissive” in its current form and relies on an LED backlight.

QLED TV is just an LCD TV with quantum dots. Qled is closer to regular old LCD than it is to OLED.

What is Quantum Dots ?

Quantum dots are are microscopic molecules that, when hit by light, emit their own differently colored light. In QLED TVs, the dots are contained in a film, and the light that hits them is provided by an LED backlight.

That light then travels through a few other layers inside the TV, including a liquid crystal (LCD) layer, to create the picture. The light from the LED source is transmitted through the layers to the screen’s surface, which is why we say it’s “transmissive.

An OLED TV is not an LCD TV

LCD is the dominant technology in flat-panel TVs. It’s cheaper than OLED, especially in larger sizes, and numerous panel-makers can manufacture it. OLED is different because it doesn’t use an LED backlight to produce light.

Instead, light is produced by millions of individual OLED subpixels. The pixels themselves are tiny dots that compose the image to emit light, which is why it’s called an “emissive” display technology. That difference leads to all kinds of picture quality effects, some of which favor LCD (and QLED), but most of which favor OLED.

Samsung & Sony are going to debut the first OLED Tvs made by Samsung display which will have improved colour and brightness compared to current OLED TVs because they use quantum dots -just like QLED TVs. Called QD-OLED or QD Display, they’re sure to be quite expensive at first, even more than standard OLED TVs, but prices will come down eventually.

Difference Between OLED and QLED – Which is Better?

OLED vs QLED

QLED Vs OLED. Which is TV Technology is right for you ?

Here’s a quick glance at OLED and QLED Pros and Cons

Type of Screen Pros Cons
OLED Better contrast

Deep black

Lighter and thinner displays

Wider viewing angle

Quick response time with minimum lag

Crisp image without colour bleed

Less bright

Only available for large displays

Higher chances of image retention

Higher chances of image burn-in

Expensive

QLED Better brightness

Enhanced Lifelike colours

Bright whites

Larger range of size

Narrower view angle

Low contrast

Thicker display as compared to OLED screens

More power consumption due to the backlight

Slower response time and lag

 

Before we get to QLED, let’s understand what makes OLED the more expensive TV technology. To start with OLED comes in a thinner panel due to not having the whole backlight panel we see in most LED TVs. From a sheer design standpoint, OLED manufacturers can do a lot more.

Moreover, with OLEDs, you can have nearly unlimited viewing angles. This means no matter what angle you are sitting at, the TV is going to look equally great. OLEDs also give incredibly high response time. This means watching fast-moving visuals such as sports telecasts, there will be almost no motion blur.

However, OLEDs are not always optimum because each diode is emitting its own light there is a limit to how much light each one can put out. This is really the biggest issue with OLED as it results in a bright picture but not nearly as bright as what QLED can produce.

Moving on to QLED, they are known for producing extremely bright colour accurate pictures. This allows the QLED TV to provide impressive HDR images and users will not even have to worry about image burn-ins. Moreover, QLED offers bright whites and a larger range of sizes as compared to OLED displays.

QLED vs. OLED Image Quality

  • QLED TV picture quality varies more than OLED

QLED Image Quality

Samsung and TCL each have multiple QLED series and the most expensive ones perform a lot better than the cheaper ones. That’s mainly because the biggest improvements in the picture quality of QLED sets don’t have much to do with quantum dots. They are a result of mini-LED backlights, better full-array local dimming, bright highlights and better viewing angles, which help them outperform QLED (and non-QLED) TVs that lack those extras.

  • OLED has better contrast and black level

QLED Image Quality

The most important image quality factors is black level, and their emissive nature means OLED TVs can turn unused pixels off completely, for infinite contrast. QLED/LCD TVs, even the best ones with the most effective full-array local dimming, let some light through, leading to more washed-out, grayer black levels and blooming around bright sections.

  • QLED is Brighter

The brightest QLED and LCD TVs can get brighter than any OLED model, which is a particular advantage in bright rooms and with HDR. OLED TVs can still get plenty bright for most rooms, and their superior contrast still allows them to deliver a better overall HDR image than any QLED/LCD TV.

  • OLED has better uniformity and viewing angles

With LCD-based displays, different areas of the screen can appear brighter than others all the time, and backlight structure can also be seen in some content. Even the best LCDs also fade, lose contrast and become discolored when seen from seats other than the sweet spot directly in front of the screen. OLED TVs have almost perfectly uniform screens and maintain fidelity from all but the most extreme angles.

Resolution, color, video processing and other image quality factors are basically the same between QLED vs OLED

Most QLED and OLED have the same resolution & 4K and both can achieve 8K Neither technology has major inherent advantages in color or video processing, although QD-OLED could deliver improved color.

QLED can get Bigger, Smaller & (Cheaper)

OLED TV sizes

* 42-inch
* 48-inch
* 55-inch
* 65-inch
* 77-inch
* 83-inch
* 88-inch
* 97-inch

Meanwhile, as QLED TVs are LCDs they are able to be made in a greater range of sizes. Non-QLED LCD TVs can get even smaller.

QLED TV sizes

QLED and LCD have over OLED is the cost of mainstream sizes over 65 inches. Large televisions are fastest growing segment of the market show no signs of slowing down. 77-inch OLED TVs cost $2,500 and up, significantly more than most 75 inch tvs in larger sizes the difference is even more drastic.

OLED Burn-in

Burn-in happens when a persistent part of the image navigation buttons on a phone or a channel logo, news ticker or a scoreboard on a TV, remains as a ghostly background no matter what else appears on screen.

All OLED screens can burn-in, and from everything I know, they’re more susceptible than LCD displays, including QLED.

Price Difference Between OLED and QLED – Best TV To Buy in Today’s Market

QLED vs. OLED

The price difference between OLED and QLED is where the decision of the best TV to buy often ends. OLED is the more expensive TV display technology, which is why it is often considered to be the best TV to buy in today’s market. However, that conception is not entirely true as QLED can bring a lot to the table of TV displays that oftentimes can even outshine OLED in some categories. Samsung is competing at a very similar price between QLED to OLED but when it comes to the technology in the rest of the brands, the QLED line is much less expensive than a comparable. QLEDs are the TV sets you would want to get if you are looking for something close to premium but also not harsh on your pocket.

If you are still confused about which is the best TV to buy, here is a quick check on three of the most popular TV display technology prevalent in the market today.

OLED Vs QLED Vs LED

Points of difference OLED QLED LED
Full Form Organic Light Emitting Diodes Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diodes Light Emitting Diode
Technology “emissive,” – the pixels emit their own light  “transmissive” – relies on an LED backlight  Type of LCDs that lights the backlight using light emitting diodes (LEDs)
USPs Lighter and thinner displays

OLED vs QLED: What’s the Best Choice for Gamers?

OLED vs QLED

If you’re mainly interested in a television that’s good for gaming, we’d encourage you to focus on different criteria than OLED vs QLED. Now that the next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles are here – and, for the most part, more readily available to buy – you’ll want to find a TV with HDMI 2.1 ports that can carry 8K video from consoles (at 60Hz), as well as 4K video at 120Hz.

OLED sets will be best for achieving natural contrast, and will help make cinematic games look truly breathtaking. LG’s OLED TVs also come with Nvidia G-Sync to help smooth out gameplay onscreen, too.

QLEDs go a lot brighter, and may be better for practical visibility in the games you’re playing, drawing out environments and in-game objects clearly.

It may depend on what you’re playing – but getting a set with low input lag, VRR (variable refresh rate), and an HMDI 2.1 port will be more important than the underlying panel technology.

What’s Next after OLED & QLED? What’s the future for you ?

OLED & QLED

Micro LED technology is another emissive technology spearheaded by Samsung but also sold by LG. It uses millions of teeny-tiny LEDs as pixels. MicroLED has the potential for the same perfect black levels as OLED, with no danger of burn-in. It can deliver higher brightness than any current display technology, wide-gamut color and doesn’t suffer the viewing angle and uniformity issues of LCD.

It doesn’t involve quantum dots, at least not yet, but who knows what might happen when it comes to market. For now , OLED rules the picture quality roost over QLED.

Emissive QLED TVs have the potential to match the absolute black levels and “infinite” contrast ratio of OLED, with better power efficiency, better color and more. That’s pretty exciting, but it’ll be a few years before we see emissive QLED TVs available for sale.

Which Brands Support QLED & OLED

Best Tvs of 2023

Samsung has been branding its TVs “QLED.” Its QLED lineup includes Neo QLED in 4K and 8K resolution, the frame art TV,the Sero Rotating Tv & the Serif. TCL also makes QLED TVs, including the 6 series. On the other side are OLED TVs. In the last few years LG has dominated the OLED market but Sony also sell OLED TVs. Samsung also added it’s own in 2022, meaning it sells both OLED and QLED TVs now.

In this article we have covered all aspects of OLED vs QLED tvs so that all our readers are able to choose the best tv technology for themselves.

FAQs on OLED Vs QLED. Comparison & Which TV Technology is Better ?

Ques 1). Does QLED technology displays fade with time or if overused?

Ans 1). No, in reality, QLED with its Quantum dots do not degrade with time. Moreover, these displays have a longer life compared to other displays and are also guaranteed to be burn-in-free.

Ques 2). Which is the better TV display technology – LED or QLED or OLED?

Ans 2). All LED or QLED or OLED have their own pros and cons. However, if there is one TV display technology that offers optimum screen performance on a budget then it is QLED. These are improved over traditional LED TVs but are much more affordable compared to OLED.

Ques 3). Which TV is better between QLED and 4K?

Ans 3). QLED TVfs display a notch higher in performance than 4K or Crystal UHD since they can target a much higher brightness with better colour reproduction. This is because of the use of Quantum Dot nanoparticles in QLED TVs. They can also achieve 100 per cent colour volume depending on the quality of the picture.

Ques 4). Can OLED get damaged under direct sunlight?

Ans 4). Yes, OLED screens are sensitive to harsh conditions. Exposure to sunlight or UV radiation can lead to loss of luminance, reduced lifespan, permanent damage to the panel or pixel shrinkage.

Highlights

  • Apple is putting in a lot of effort with its suppliers to increase production in India.
  • It is expected that India will produce up to 25% of all iPhones by the end of 2023.
  • Apple is building its largest iPhone production facility near Bengaluru.
  • Tech giant Apple to shift 50% iPhone production to India. India to produce half of the world’s iPhones by 2027.

India Plans to Manufacture more iPhones

India could well be giving a China a run for its money when it comes to manufacturing smartphones as a recent report by South China Morning Post has cited that India will produce around 45-50% of Apple’s iPhones by 2027, which will put it almost neck-to-neck with China.

It was China that produced nearly 80-85% until 2022 but according to renowned research analyst Luke Lin from DigiTimes, it is India and Vietnam that stand to gain by becoming two of the biggest beneficiaries of smartphone manufacturing supply out of China.

“However, the speed of supply chain migration to India will be accelerated in the future because of the need for diversifying risks in light of uncertainties of China’s pandemic control,” said Lin.

“Some Apple Watch probably will also be assembled outside China as well,” Lin mentioned.

They believe it will help local consumers to identify with its brand and help to expand its market share there,” Lin said.

There are strong speculations that India is anticipated to produce around 25% of the iPhones by the end of 2023 and up 40% by 2025 end, which is a huge increase as the current rate of India’s manufacturing progress is less than 5%.

If the South China Morning Post report is anything to go by, India will have increased its level of production to be on par with mainland China, which can be easily believed going by the aforementioned speculations.

In November 2022, Ashwini Vaishnaw, Telecom and IT Minister, had clarified that Apple would be building the largest iPhone production facility in Hosur, which is an industrial city found in the Krishnagiri district, around 40km from Bengaluru where there are plans to employ up to 60,000 people, while 6,000 tribal women from Ranchi and Hazaribagh have received training for assembling iPhones.

Tata Electronics has been chosen by Apple for making iPhone enclosures as the company has its own factory in Hosur, which would be an interesting collaboration that proves beneficial for both companies in the future.

It needs to be mentioned that Tata Group has long nurtured an ambition of manufacturing iPhones in India with a huge deal for taking over the plant in South India waiting to be finalized and once it signs on the dotted line, Apple will finally gain local suppliers for iPhones, with additional support being provided from Foxconn and Wistron for iPhone production in India.

Apple had already begun iPhone production in India via Wistron way back in 2017, beginning with iPhone SE, and since then, has been doing is putting massive efforts to manage its supplier base in India so that production could be magnified.

Apple has also announced that it would be manufacturing iPhone 14 at Foxconn’s Sriperumbudur factory.

India Will Become iPhone Factory by 2027

Made in India” iPhones would reach 50% by 2027. There are reports that it would happen much later, but whatever it maybe, Apple has already made its decision to shift 50% iPhone production in India.

With Covid-19 totally disrupting the world’s biggest iPhone plant in China resulting an astronomical loss of billion dollars per week, Apple hopes to recuperate on these losses by shifting focus to India, which is the second largest iPhone production centre in the whole world as of now.

Frequently Asked Questions on (FAQ) iPhone Production?

Question 1- In which Indian city does Apple plan on building its largest iPhone facility?

– Apple has chosen Bengaluru, the silicon valley of India, as the place to built its largest iPhone factory.

Question 2- When did Apple begin producing iPhones in India?

– Apple had begun iPhone production in India back in 2017 with the help of Wistron with the very first model produced being iPhone SE and has been totally committed since then to increase its supplier base so that production is multiplied.

Question 3- Where is the largest iPhone production facility planned in India?

– Apple has chosen Hosur, a district city around 40km from Bengaluru, to build the largest iPhone facility for which it has chosen Tata Electronics for making the iPhone enclosures. Tata Group hopes to capitalize on its ambition for manufacturing iPhones in the country so that it can strike a huge deal in procuring the plant based in South India.

Question 4- How will China’s decline in iPhone production prove beneficial to India and Vietnam?

– Up until 2022, it was China that produced nearly 80-85% of the iPhones but Covid-19 has proved to be extremely devastating to China as it had the world’s biggest iPhone plant, due to which renowned research analyst Luke Lin from DigiTimes, opines that it is India and Vietnam that stand to gain by becoming two of the biggest beneficiaries of smartphone manufacturing supply out of China.

Customers can add matching Magic accessories that complement the elegant design of Mac mini and Studio Display.

Apple Mac mini Design

With the 2020 M1 update, Apple did not change the design of the Mac mini, but it did re-introduce the silver color. All M1 Mac mini models are silver, while the Intel model comes in space gray, with color being the distinguishing feature between the two.

The Mac mini has always been Apple’s smallest, most portable desktop machine and that hasn’t changed. The Mac mini continues to feature a small, square-shaped enclosure that measures in at 7.7 inches on each side and 1.4 inches thick.

Apple’s Mac mini weighs in at 2.9 pounds, so it’s small enough to take from place to place if desired, plugging into available peripherals and displays. The Mac mini, unlike Apple’s other Macs, does not ship with a display, keyboard, or mouse, so it is ideal for those who want to supply their own accessories.

One side of the Mac mini features a host of ports, while the other features an LED that lets you know when it’s on. There’s an Apple logo at the top of the device, and other than the Apple logo and port labels, there are no other markings on the visible portion of the machine.

Though the exterior of the Mac mini is unchanged over the last several generations, Apple redesigned the interior in 2018 to add a new thermal architecture to accommodate higher-powered 8th-generation chips and all-flash storage. Compared to pre-2018 Mac mini models, it features a bigger internal fan with twice as much airflow, and expanded vents, all of which also accommodate the M1 chip.

Apple Mac mini Ports

Apple has outfitted the Mac mini with multiple ports, allowing it to be used with several peripherals at once. The M1 Mac mini has a total of two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C 4 ports at the back of the device, which are able to support USB-C accessories and displays, along with an HDMI 2.0 port, a Gigabit Ethernet port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, two USB-A ports, and a spot for the power cord to plug in.

The Intel Mac mini has four Thunderbolt 3 ports, two USB-A ports, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a spot for the power cord, and a Gigabit Ethernet port, which can be upgraded to 10Gb for $100.

Thunderbolt 3 offers data transfer speeds of up to 40Gb/s. The M1 Mac mini officially supports one external display up to 6K along with a second with HDMI up to 4K. The Intel Mac mini with supports two 4K displays (along with a third 4K display over HDMI) or one 5K.

While Apple says the Mac mini is limited to one 6K and one 4K display, with DisplayPort adapters, M1 Mac mini models can run up to six external displays. This only works with a mix of 4K and 1080p displays as the Thunderbolt ports do not have the bandwidth to run six 4K displays.

Apple Mac mini Memory

One of the features of the M1 is a unified memory architecture, or UMA, which unifies high-bandwidth, low-latency memory into a single pool. This means that the technologies in the M1 chip can access the same data without copying it between multiple memory pools for dramatic performance improvement across the entire system. The Mac mini supports up to 16GB of unified memory, with the base model shipping with 8GB.

Apple Mac mini GPU

The 8-core GPU in the M1 chip is integrated (which means it is not a separate chip), and Apple calls it the world’s fastest integrated graphics in a personal computer. It can execute 25,000 threads at a time and combines improved graphics performance with lower power consumption. According to Apple, the GPU in the M1 can render a timeline up to 6x faster in Final Cut Pro and editing high-resolution photos with Affinity Photo is up to 4x faster.

Apple Mac mini Speed Improvements

The M1 in the Mac mini features an 8-core CPU and an integrated 8-core GPU. The CPU has four high-efficiency cores and four high-performance cores. When doing simple tasks like browsing the web or reading email the Mac mini will engage the high-efficiency cores, but for more system-intensive tasks like photo and video editing, the high-performance cores are used.

According to Apple, the M1 chip’s CPU is up to 3x faster than the Intel chip in the prior Mac mini, and GPU speeds are up to 6x faster.

The M1 is designed to offer higher performance at every power level compared to competing laptop chips. It offers 2x faster CPU performance than the latest PC laptop chip while using 25 percent of the power.

ProRes transcoding is up to 3.4x faster with the M1 chip, building a project in Xcode is up to 3x faster, and Logic Pro supports 2.8x more Amp Designer plug-ins.

Apple Mac mini RAM

Base M1 models come with 8GB RAM, which can be customized up to 16GB. Higher-end Intel models support up to 64GB RAM. Tests suggest that there isn’t a whole lot of difference between M1 models with 8GB RAM and 16GB RAM except when doing heavily system intensive tasks.

Neural Engine

There’s a new, more advanced Neural Engine in the Mac mini that is up to 15x faster for machine learning tasks. The Neural Engine has a 16-core design that can execute 11 trillion operations per second, and along with machine learning accelerators, it makes ML-based tasks much faster.

Apps like Final Cut Pro, Pixelmator, and others that use machine learning for video, photo, and audio editing purposes benefit from the Neural Engine.

Apple Mac mini SSD

The Mac mini supports up to 2TB of solid state storage, with read speeds of up to 3.4GB/s.

Technicians in China have discovered that the RAM and SSD in the M1 Mac can be upgraded after purchase, but this is something that’s only been done in a test setting and these upgrades are not something the average person can undertake.

Apple Mac mini Connectivity

The M1 Mac mini supports 802.11ax WiFi, or WiFi 6, which provides better performance than the prior-generation 802.11ac Wi-Fi. It offers 1.2Gb/s of throughput for fast file transfers.

The Intel Mac mini supports 802.11ac Wi-Fi, while both models feature Bluetooth 5.0.

Apple Mac mini Base Models


There are three stock Mac mini configurations available from Apple. Two feature the M1 chip, while the most expensive has an Intel chip.

$699 – M1 chip, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD.
$899 – M1 chip, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.
$1,099 – 3.0GHz 6-core 8th-generation Intel core i5 chip, 8GB RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 630, 512GB SSD.

The Mac mini features the same M2 and M2 Pro chips as devices like the MacBook Air and MacBook Pro, and serves as Apple’s low-cost standalone desktop computer. Announced in January 2023, the Mac mini is among the newest Macs in Apple’s lineup. Apple usually refreshes the Mac mini every few years and there are no rumors of a new model arriving anytime soon. As such, prospective buyers should not wait for a new model to be released.

Mac Mini Shortcomings

Some M1 Mac mini models are affected by an issue that can cause pink squares or pixels to appear on a display connected to an M1 Mac mini. Apple is aware of the problem and is working on a fix. For those experiencing this problem, Apple recommends putting the Mac mini to sleep, waiting two minutes and then waking the Mac mini, unplugging the display, and adjusting the display’s resolution.

Mac mini owners have run into an issue with the Mac mini failing to activate connected displays after waking from sleep. This issue does not affect all Mac mini owners, but there have been numerous complaints and there’s no known permanent fix at this time.
