TFT vs OLED

[petergabriel]

I noticed that besides the smaller magnification of the EVF in x pro 2 vs x-t2, there is also the matter of the EVF being TFT in x pro 2 and OLED in x-t2. But what is really the difference between the two, quality wise. I assume OLED is the best quality being a newer technology, but am I right to assume that?

Nope.

So the x pro 2 having tft and xt 2 oled has nothing to do with the quality differences people rave about between the two cameras - besides the larger magnification on xt2?

OLED is susceptible to burn-in. It's irreversible.

The OLED is potentially able to do 100% Adobe RGB but so can other technologies. OLED can can do true Black but if the others can get "black enough" it may not matter.

 

My Samsung S2 tablet (9.7) scores around 98% with sumptuous blacks and it makes my shots look super but the specific calibration is 100% unknown. It is also getting replaced with a new model, hopefully w/o self-ignition and after-burners.

 

Back to reality - the X-Pro2 EVF does look "off" from time to time but I have not had a chance to investigate, the rear screen is spot on though.

The viewing experience on the T series trumps the Pro series, whether it's TFT or OLED.

 

If you've looked into both, you'd know. It doesn't matter so much whether it's TFT or OLED.

 

Not sure how newer generation OLED stand against time. The burn out issue like oscilik mention is real.
